Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone could help me.Turns out that I bought a nice Dell Dimension 5150 two days ago, and it has Pentium Dual Core processor 2.8 gHz, 1gb of RAM, and integrated intel graphics (256mb). But the graphics were bad so my brother bought me a nVidia GeForce 7300 GS (256mb, PCI-e), and although there are better cards, it runs the games much greater than my old ATI Radeon 9600. So my new videocard kinda joined her memory with the integrated memory and now I have some beautiful 512 mb of video memory. My Flight Simulator runs smoother than ever, now I can set the traffic to 100% without having problems and everything is nice.The only problem I have is that when I choose a plane, it doesnt show up in the "plane selection" window....no plane is visible, not even the original planes. Does it have anything to do with my videocard? Please help me with this I beg you! Thanks a lot!

Sounds like a video driver issue. I suggest you try a few different ones.Gary

It is, indeed, a driver issue. I don't use Nvudea drivers but a search of the forum will get him the answer.

Or we could suggest that he lower his AA to 4X or less! We are not going to model ourselves after a wise person at another forum!!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

Are you sure you don't have 256 megs on your vid bios boot screen?I have never heard of that happening before, ever. (!) If it does happen, someone confirm this for my knowledge. Usually, whenever you buy a graphics card, the onboard vid mem is disabled...not 'combined' with the new card.Rhett

No, Rhett...it's the driver. I have been using the 84.21 on a very old card by today's standards...the ti4200 with 128 m/r...and get excellent results...Sherm

Incidentally, do you happen to know if onboard video card memory can ever be combined with a regular video card's memory?Rhett

I'm not the expert, but I think using an onboard vid card with a plug in card would be determined by whether your bios would allow such a configuration. I know that on my asus board, the on board card bios choice is is either on or off...Sherm
