I have just upgraded from a 32meg Hercules Prophet to a Winfast A170DDR-T 64meg graphics card and my frame rates on FS2002 has jumped from 8 to 14 FPS...so far so good. The sim is running smooth and is the best it's been but...I have lost all my water effects, shimmers, waves etc. Have I done something wrong here? I installed the Directx v 8.1b as supplied on the supporting disc...the driver supplied is Dec 2002 so bang up to date. There must be a setting somewhere in the graphics settings or properties I have missed. All the sliders in FS2002 have been adjusted from min to max (including the effects and water sliders!) but to no avail....it's a mystery as everything else is all A OK....any ideas here.Athlon 700,Winfast A170DDR-T 64meg (with G-Force4 MMX-SE chip)256 meg ram.20gig HD.Thanks in advanceBrian Gibbs.BRIDON
