Strange wavy ripple effect in windowed mode....is this normal?

Featured Replies

I've tried for weeks to fix this but failed..... hopefully someone has a cure.....I have always flown in full screen mode but have recently experimented with windowed mode due to a multi monitor home cockpit build and undocking etc.I am experiencing this ripple effect on ground textures while in windowed mode (full screen is fine) most obvious when banking the aircraft.I use Fs global,Ge pro,and this ripple effect is worldwide ,I've disabled both of these to no effect. It also occurs on my identical fs9 laptop installation as well ,so its not the graphics card .I've tried the monitor refresh rate divisible by the fps lock trick, fiddled with the nvidia settings /drivers,reduced fs9 settings etc,rebuilt .cfg but to no avail,it is however marginally better when fps are set to unlimited .The outside view wavy/ripple effect is present in windowed mode when using the multi monitor setup or just the usual single monitor setup.Having never used windowed mode in the past ,maybe this is a very common fs9 problem but I doubt it ,I have searched for similar but found nothing.I would use full screen mode for the outside view when using the multi monitor setup but the outside textures become too 'weak' .As ever, any assistance would be gratefully received.regards Jimmain pc :e6850,7950gt,2gb ram,xp, Laptop....no idea

This is one of two things.First, in window mode there is not AA or AF..so that effect can be all those jagged edges being seen.Also, I don't think vsync is active is window mode (someone correct me if im wrong) so you may be seeing tearing on the screen.

Thanks Red1,the effect I'm getting is more of a 'wave' /'wobble' that moves up or down the screen,strange that the effect is identical on two different computers..?If I bank very slowly it is less obvious .Maybe its vertigo !!!regards Jim
