Some problems w/FS9

[Guest BP]

I keep running into new problems w/ FS9. Perhaps some or all of these will be addressed in a patch.1. When Loading up FS9 the screen flickers horribly (Radeon 9700 pro). Flickering continues to occur while setting up (changing screen menus) flights etc.2. Land mass flickers and displays brown boxes when changing views then settles down. Setting the TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=450 helped a little.3. Auto open ATC window when messages are sent to you does not function properly unless show text box is also selected. Selecting the text box then displays "all" ATC messages to all a/c.4. Tower icon in map view does not show up at destination airport. One must type in the corrids to get the tower to dest. AP.5. Adjusting fuel/PAX/Long/Lat numbers consistantly brings up an entry message error if the number isn't entered exactly "prior" to hitting ENTER. This error should appear "only' after hitting ENTER or moving the cursor to another entry box. (Very annoying)6. Can not shift views up or down in any side views while in the 2D cockpit regardless of remapping. Shiting up/down view only works in the forward view and the increments are to large.7. ATC voice volume can not be heard even if set to high.And one last annoying thing that's bugged me since we all moved from DOS to Windows: Clicking the map view a hundred times to move it to a desired location is still MS-DOS stuff. Would be nice to hold the left mouse down to scroll it in whatever direction and to zoom in/out via the mouse wheel or roller ball. FS-2004 w/ traces of DOS nostolgia. grrrJust a few observations I hope will be fixed.BillAlienware 2.8g w2g ramRadeon 9700 ProDual NECSB Audigy PlatinumKlipsch Pro Memdia 5.1TM-Couger w/RCS
