March 17, 200818 yr Hey all,First of all, here are the specifications for my computer:Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3LProcessor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Video Card: Geforce 8800GT Overclocked 600MHZ 512MB 2.0GHZMemory: 2GB PC2-6400Disks: 2x500gb SATA2 drivesI'm running Vista 32 bit, and am having quite a lot of strange problems with running FS9. I'm unable to find correct settings where everything looks good and is free of graphic problems.Two things that bug me that I can not solve are:On the PMDG 737 the main displays freeze, everything else is OK but the displays aren't refreshing, until I zoom them and go back to normal, then they are ok.When I right click to change views, or load up the menu bar etc the screen will flicker black and often revert to a view of a 2d window I had open just before, this only seems to happen in full screen mode.So... If you're still reading... I'm wondering what everyone has their FS9 settings as (maybe even post the fs9.cfg file) as well as the Nvidia control panel settings.Thanks a lot!
March 17, 200818 yr Have you tried disabling the aero desktop function when FS9 is operating? If not, navigate in explorer to your FS9.exe, right click and select properties, select the compatibility tab and put a check mark next to "disable desktop composition". This resolved just about all graphical glitches I was having with FS9 in Vista.Gary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
March 17, 200818 yr Author I thought that would be the answer too, but unfortunately it wasn't... I had similar issues with FS9, windows XP and a 6600GT before as well... more annoying then anything really... Thanks though
March 18, 200818 yr I recently bought a new system with 8800GT SLI setup, and the first thing is, you need Nhancer. Duplicate the FS9 profile, then delete it. Set up a new profile and point it to FS9 exe.Check manual activate.I am still trying different settings,and I have Windows XP, but for now I've got this:Anti-Aliasing: Supersampling 8xs, Gama correction, Super-transparency AAAnisotropic Filtering: 16xVertical sync: OnTexture filtering: High quality Trilinear and Aniso optimization: uncheckedNegative LOD BIAS: Clamp Anti-Aliasing compatibility: general compatibilityEverything else is uncheckedEverything is great for me except I get a drastic frame drop with 2d panels.I am not too worried about it because I use VC, but it indicates something is wrong. So I am looking for advice too!My System:Windows XP SP2 / Zone AlarmE8400/680I SLI/2GB DDR2Seagate 250GB 16MB x2 Raid 08800GT 512 SLI / 169.21Sound Blaster X-FISamsung 245BW @ 1920 x 1200ATX 1KW PSU2little2late
March 18, 200818 yr I was having similar persistence of older 2D panel displays when tooltips were being displayed and AA/AF was enabled - it's an age old nVidia issue. Whilst I didn't do anything that I thought would specifically fix it, it has recently rectified itself on my system. The only thing I have done graphics-card related in the last month or so is update to the 169.25 driver. I am not saying that this particular driver will fix it for you (indeed if experencies outlined in this forum re drivers are anything to go by, no two people get the same result with the same driver on what appears to be very similar systems!), but just that you might want to try another one or two. Who knows, when you least expect it like I did, it might just fix itself :-lolGary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
