Another official new 8x series driver came out today and STILL no fix for the massive texture corruption seen in FS9 on a 7800 series card with any driver above the 7x series.How is this possible, FS is still in the top 10 seeling PC games and I know I'm not the only one seeing this issue with a 7800. Really ticks me off that I give them $600 for a video card and then get ignored when a massive problem with my main app pops up.It's easy to say "Oh just roll back to the 7x series" but I'm also a big gamer in other genres and the 80 series driver is required for new games like FEAR, HL2 with the the HDR lighting, Call of Duty 2, etc. It's a huge annoyance to have to switch out drivers to go between those and FS.Anyone know of a direct contact number for Nvidia's customer relations? I'm gonna give em a call if I can get the number, I've had enough of this.

same problems with ATI cards but made much better with adaptive aa

Not seeing that with my ATI card.. :-hmmm

jimmi, like your x800? I wanna get one for my self, curious to know what the performance is like on it though.

>same problems with ATI cards but made much better with>adaptive aaHuh? This is a bug in the way textures are displaying that I'm talking about - city textures appear in the ocean, autogen textures on runways, etc - has nothing to do with adaptive or transparency AA.

One of the moderators at www.driverheaven.net has alerted his contact at Nvidia to my post there about this issue - hopefully we'll see a fix now in the next driver!

I know it's of no real use for me to say that I have absolutely no problem using the new drivers with a 7800GT. I'm using 81.85, maybe it's because I put these on a clean system, meaning that it was a new PC and it's the first drivers I have installed on it.

Ok here's some screens I just took taking off from KSEA in the PMDG 747-400. As you can see, this is not a minor bug:1. "Create a Flight" aircraft selection screen - textures all corrupted, weird overlay in the upper left showing different view of the plane. (Which is related to having Transparency AA on I've determined, happens with 7x.xx too)http://s93147954.onlinehome.us/screens/fsbug1.jpg2. Incorrect textures in the terrain, texture corruption on the cockpit windshield support posts:http://s93147954.onlinehome.us/screens/fsbug2.jpg3. Very obvious awful corruption of the cockpit textures, water under the Boeing Field runway and tarmac etc...http://s93147954.onlinehome.us/screens/fsbug3.jpg

I know it doesn't happen on any of the 6800 and lower cards, but I've seen at least 10 other people on various video card forums where I posted this that have the same problem with the GTX and any 80 series driver.It's most definitely the driver causing it - it goes away as soon as I downgrade to the 70 series, and I see the corruption in no other game besides FS with the 80s. I keep my system very clean and use Driver Cleaner in addition to the regular uninstall to make sure there's no remnants of old drivers etc...

Hi, allI get the same texture problems with the new nVIDIA drivers on my 7800GTX. The 77.77 driver works just fine.Ulf B

Seeing the same thing on my 7800GT with the latest 81.94 drivers. I haven't messed with FS for about a year, and just reinstalled on my new system and was shocked at how it looked. Good thing I found this post on the 70 series drivers. Guess I'll have to roll back and see how things go.

I guess I won't be installing those just yet then. ;)

Interestingly enough, the texture corruption only occurs when I have the radio panel on the same monitor as the main screen. If I put the panel on my second monitor, everything clears up.

Hi all. Been lurking for a while here and keeping tabs on this thread for new developments as I too have the same issue.New drivers version 81.95 were released today. It appears there is no fix to this issue in this version either. Although it apears that the issue is finally acknowledged in the release notes as a current issue. The notes also state the issue as being there while the texture settings are set to "massive".I have not tried the drivers yet nor played with them on lower texture settings, but atleast its nice to see it aknowledged finally.

Hello,Did you try the XG V2 81.94 ??
