I had Fly! II installed on my XP machine.Worked fine.After repair(new motherboard) and new install with all updates I see flickers, mainly in the sky. I tried several display settings, but no result. It seems I am flying in thunderstorms, but the weather is clear. Has someone an idea how to solve this?

Did anything change with the video card? Had you saved your fly.ini and render.ini files then reinstalled them? You may have to go into your motherboard's BIOS setup and check your video card settings within that area, and - depending upon the card - play around with the settings via software driver. Is it an nVidia card or an ATI card? If nVidia, in the render.ini file under GRAPHICS, you want to try rhis particular setting: vertexIndexFormat=0 . If an ATI card, change the zero to a 1 and see if that works. Off the top of my head, without knowing the type of video card, that's all I can think of at this time. Hope it helps! Also, when you did your fresh install, did you also install the video 1 update? One thing I have found when reinstalling is - if the USA version - to skip the .230 update and go from the .210 to the .240 version straight away. For some strange reason, I always have better luck when doing it that way.Cheers,

First off all, many thanks for your extended answer. I have a nVidia 9500 GT so first I tried the easiest way: I changed the vertexIndexFormat and voila, that was the trick!! Its now running as before. Again many thanks.Diederik
