Hi I was wondering why I get disappearing textures on the MD-11. I used to get this issue in the 747X when i ran in windows xp 32 bit as well as OOM errors so upgraded to vista 64 bt and the problems went away. I recently got the MD-11 boxed version and have only flown the tutorial flight in it so far but both times about mid way textures in VC disappear and first flight i had black textures as well. I use the 747x, level D 767, CS 757 and dont have this issue with any of them only the MD-11.I have a 1 gig video card, 4 gig of system ram so dont see how i can be getting memory issues. Regards Paul

You're running Vista 64 or Windows 7 RC, right?For people whose drivers will let them do it, there is an easy solution. Go to Control Panel>Sound>Speakers>Properties>Advanced>Default format> 8000Hz.If this doesn't work, then repeat for all possible entries under the "Sound" part of the Control Panel.Not every driver lets you choose 8000Hz: choose the lowest available and see if it helps. Some people have good results at 11000Hz or even 16000Hz.There is a long threat about this on this forum which you should be able to find easily if you want more background.Tim
