Hi Simmers:I just purchased a new computer Duo Core with a GF 7950 video card.The problem I am experiencing like others, is the Instrument panel disappears when I load the Active Sky Weather program or the default real weather program with FSX.It has been mentioned that I may need another driver for my video card.Can someone please advise what driver I should be using for FSX.Tks. for any info.Kenny G.

I don't know what driver you are running now, but check out nvidia.com and upgrade to the latest driver if you haven't already.Gary

For correct and proper advice, please list your system specs and the driver you currently have installed. We might be miracle workers, but we are not mind readers. :) ;)Allcott

KennyGI can say that I had the disappearing instrument panel once, when I switched to this Guru3D 93.71 driver, so I feared the worst. Then the next time I ran the sim, I never had the problem again. So anyway my point is, it is probably a display driver-related problem.I did not have the issue with 91.47 drivers + ActiveSky.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2530 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian

Well I am not saying you should change versions.All I am saying is, use the version that works for you. If you are having the disappearing panel problem, I would probably change to 93.71 or whatever the latest ones are. If your present drivers are messing up, you would have nothing to lose.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2530 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, WD 250 gig 7200 rpm SATA2, CoolerMaster Praetorian

I think you'll find the problem is VIsibility related. If the vis in FSX drops below 10 miles, this seems to trigger this effect. Interestingly, I thought it only afected ATI cards, but obviously not!Sounds like a bug for ACES to fix in the first patch.Allcott
