G'day GuysAfer going through the normal ATI cleaning routine which takes quite a bit of time i am glad to say its well worth the effort.At flightsofts Kaitak in the Capt sim 727 i got a boost of 4-7fps up from 16 to 21-23fps on the rwy 31 threshold.Big increase and i am pretty stoked with the boost.I can live with the flickering menu's if it means an FPS increase like this one.Also noticed its very smooth now with a heavy scenery load.Great job to the guys at ATI.Go get em!!

Yep, they're very good. I notice an improvement in windowed mode too.

Hi Darren,When you refer to the the "ATI cleaning routine", is this the same routine as posted here by Mike Adamo(sp?) ?Thanks,Bruce.

I'd assume so, Bruce. I tired it earlier, and it did take a while.

Can you guys post a link so the rest of us can learn how to properly clean out the old drivers???

If you installed new drivers you have that utility installed C: Program FilesATIUn-install(or something like that), just open folder and run exe file.

Give a try to the Omegadrive catalyst 3.8, they are even better and faster.

Thanks John.Bruce.

Search on Mike Adamo, post made in the past day or so.Bruce.

The same thing has happend for me. I am getting an average of 10fps better tahn before. Even in much more fps demanding aircraft. I am using an ATI 7000 Radeon 64 VE. Thanks ATI!!!

The new default settings seem faster, but also appear to turn down quality options. Go into drivers display/advanced and set custom AA, etc.After, I found them similar, seemed to freeze when panning at times.

Hey Guys,I posted the link to the instructions on how to "manually" remove drivers in the "Read Me First" thread at the top of the forum.Have fun!!Mikehttp://www.members.shaw.ca/madamo/boeingsig.jpg

Though ATi fixed the garbled text problem, I'm somewhat disgruntled the blackflashing menus aren't fixed. In the release notes they claimed to have fixed menu "flipping" which I thought was this same issue (thinking maybe "flipping" was driver-ese for flashing), but apparently it isn't.

Hi BruceYea i use a similar routine but do the registry clean using regedit.I don't like small programs going into my registry and prefer to do it by hand.Takes about 15mins.At least you know you get everything with ATI on it.Enjoy the drivers.
