Hi all,I have a delicate problem and I hope someone out there knows how to fix it. I recently installed a new VGA card, a nVidia GTX 460. It replaced the old nVidia 8800GT I had installed before. Now FS looks quite ugly.Modifying the settings had no success. And using the setting in the nVidia control panel to override FS did not solve the problem either. Same goes for nVidia Inspector, which I tried too.I do not know how to explain what it looks like, therefore I added some pics to give you a vague idea of my problem. Before changing the card every transition of colors was smooth and looking real. You can see what it looks like now on the screenshots. It is really ugly:IMost of the pics are taken at night as it is more obvious than during daylight, but I can asure you, on daylight it doesn't look any better.I really hope that someone is aware of the problem as I spent the last few years to make heavy mods to my FS to get it as real as possible and I don't want it to be ruined because of this. :(:(:Doh:Thanks to all in advance.CheersMikeP.S.: My system:Gigabyte MA790X-DS4AMD Phenom II X2 5508GB DDR2 800 OCZ PlatinumGainward nVidia GTX460 Golden Sample2x Samsung Spinpoint 750GB HDD ; S-ATA Raid 0Windows Vista home Premium 64bit ( I know folks....it sucks )

FS9.cfg, delete it, and let FS make new one. When you change Graphic Card, FS still recognize the old one, thats why you see weird stuff.

What's wrong in 3rd picture? with 767

Thanks for the tip. I just ried that, but without success. It even got worse, as I got an error message stating that there is an incompatible module installed (fssound.dll). That dll is not incompatible, that's for sure.And it did not improve the image quality at all. :(@vortex: It's a 777, not a 767. What's wrong with it, is that if you look closely you can se the sharp borders between the different colors coming from illumination of the model. On top it is much brighter than on thebottom of the fuselage. But those transitions have been smooth before, not as sharp as it is now. It just looked more realistic.CheersMike

Have you reinstalled fs after changing video card?

Oh yes :)Have you reinstalled fs after changing video card?

No I did not, as there are almost 5 years of modding done in my FS and I do not want to do all that again, I do more modding than actual flying, just to get it as realistic as possible. But I changed the hardware before, video cards too, and neverhad this problem :( I could start crying :Cry:I reinstalled FS before by backing up everything and copy it into the new installation, but everytime I do this I am afraid anything gets damaged.

HelloLooks like FS9 is set to 16bit colors, set your desktop and FS9 to 32bit color

No I did not, as there are almost 5 years of modding done in my FS and I do not want to do all that again, I do more modding than actual flying, just to get it as realistic as possible. But I changed the hardware before, video cards too, and neverhad this problem :( I could start crying :Cry:I reinstalled FS before by backing up everything and copy it into the new installation, but everytime I do this I am afraid anything gets damaged.

I am reinstalling FS every 5 month to get more fps. I have my favorite addons on cd. So every 4 month I reainstall Windows and FS. So my PC is Fresh :D

Sometimes it's so easy to overlook those little things that are hidden in a small, ugly, filthy corner of your computer. Thank god for the guys at this forum in such cases!

Exactly. now I am happy again :Applause:I didn't even think of that. But once mentioned, it was obvious that it was the source of the problem.
