Allcott,EVERYTHING was just perfect until I changed to my new screen that I bought for 500$. I didn't do anything, just unplugged the old screen and plugged in my new screen. Then this problem happened. That's why I'm wondering if it is something wrong with the screen. It says in the manual that the best performance to run the screen in is 1680x1050x32 and that's what I'm doing. And like I said, when flying daytime the picture I get is heaven. But when I'm flying at night the screen look terrible. Shimmering, flickering and it's like there's thousands of small small insects running around in the cocpit, the textures look "alive". I've never had any problems with my grapchic card before but now when I have a big, flat widescreen. I just don't know what to do. I thought that the card I have now is too weak for a 22" flat widescreen. I have attached pictures of ALL my settings and day and night pictures from FSX. Please somebody, help me!!!

When I went from a CRT to an LCD, I noticed shimmering and flickering on building textures at night, and autogen trees. As you mentioned, the problem ONLY occured on the LCD - no settings changes, no driver changes, no resolution changes, etc. etc.I determined that the LCD wasn't refreshing fast enough to draw the textures in nicely, and I was getting a sort of moire effect due to the way the LCD had to paint the textures of the buildings. When I moved on to my latest LCD, a Samsung 204B, the problem was greatly reduced. (disappeared, even). This was due to the new monitor's enhanced pixel refresh rate. Since your new Viewsonic probably has a good pixel refresh rate, check to be certain that you are driving it at it's native resolution AND it's native refresh rate (likely 60hz). Strive to run the monitor off it's digital port as well, as opposed to the analog VGA port. If you haven't made any driver or setting changes for the monitor, it has to have something to do with that - CRT vs. LCD won't bring out any performance differences in a graphics card. -Greg

Thanks Greg,Yes I think it must be something like that and I will continue to run FSX on my old CRT and return my new LCD to the vendor. I mean, just look at my two attached pictures and compare the two screens...Thanks

Your screen shots should be the same, no matter what monitor you have connected. Very confusing.Gary

No, it's not confusing at all. The first screenshot is from a CD with saved ones from the time when I was using my old screen and the second screenshot I captured 2 minutes ago with my new crap screen. Simple as that, voil

Thanks Greg!Solved the problem! I bought a new digital cord and now I'm running the monitor off it's digital port instead off it's analog and everything looks much better! THANK YOU, MAN! I owe you one!!!Thanks,Tomas
