Hi SteveI have the same problem, with anti-aliasing set to 8x in NVIDEA settings. Dropping this to 4x cures the problem.My SystemAthlon 64 X2 3800 AM2 CPU with 2 x 512KB cache, overclocked to 2.4GHz Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe nForce 5 Motherboard NVIDIA Geforce 7900GT 256MB PCI Express Graphics 2GB Gskill PC2-6400 DDR2 Memory Enermax Liberty 500watt Power SupplyScreen resolution 1280 x 1024On my old system (GeForce4 128mb card), I had the same problem with any NVIDEA drivers later than about 65, no matter what anti-alias setting I used.Possibly, this is a driver related issue.RegardsKevin P.S. I'm unable to view the pictures that you have linked.Edit - OK, can see them now.

Hey kevin you hit it right on he head. but now im having another problem i use 2 monitors to fly one monitor has the cockpt view and the other has the overhead view. the problem that i am having now is that on the over head view monitor i get small black glitches on various parts of the whole monitor if i click the mouse button it stops as soon as i let it go i starts again if i hit alt to bring up the selection option it stops as soom as i hit alt again it starts again im not sure wat it could be i have never sen that in all the years i was flying with 2 monitors and MSFS 2004 so i set everything back in my graphics card to default and unclicked the anti-aliasing in the flight sim but nothing seems to work. any suggestions? oh by the way where do you get you nvidia update drivers and what version or you using.

Hi SteveSorry, I have no experience of twin monitor set up. I know that it can be set up from within the NVIDEA software. Perhaps the output to each monitor needs checking?Sorry I can't be of anymore help with that.I'm currently using NVIDEA Forceware 93.71 (the latest WHQL certified) driver.You can find these athttp://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.aspor the UK sitehttp://www.nvidia.co.uk/page/drivers.htmlRegardsKevin

From the video it looks like vertical sync issue. What are your screen refresh rates set to?pj

I agree. Set the monitor refresh rate to 60Hz and see if that clears the problem.Doug
