Hi folksIm working on my newly built computer, tweaking FSX and installing some new add-ons. As you can see on the attached image, Im currently having somedifficulties with the rendering of panels. This occurs in any aircraft, but was escpesially bad in the Flight1 Citation. Some 2d panels will blur anddark spots (and even the entire night sky) flimmers alot. Ive been trying to experiment with filtering and so on. PC specs: i5 2500K, 8GB ram, Asus GTX560 TOCII 1GBAny ideas to whats causing this? Thanks for helping out:-)

It appears you have double panels sitting on top of each other. It could be the size of the screen. Do you have wideviewaspect=true in the fsx.cfg (default is false). Is the resolution of your screen the native resolution? Even if you didn't have the native screen resolution, it shouldn't be showing gauges sitting on top of each other. Definitely strange rendering! Sorry I could not be of any help.Best regards,Jim

In my experience this is usually video card driver related. When I updated my Nvidia drivers to 275.33, this issue happened to me in the LDS 767. Since rolling back to 270.61, I have not had any issues.Incidentally, if you really like your current drivers, sometimes the issue could be fixed by going into windowed mode and adjusting the size of the FSX window. Hope this helps.

Same here: bad video drivers for FSX. Went to previous, all OK.

Correct, driver issue, and...Correct again, going to windowed and back to fullscreen, or alt+tabbing out of FSX then back in corrects the problem.

Yes, it really is strange the way the gauges is laying on top of each other. Rolling back to older drivers will be experimented with, but a friend of minepointed out that it may just become better if I buy a new LCD that has DVI or HDMI instead of only VGA, which this screen got. (BenQ G2220HDA). Could this be of relevance?

I noticed ur pc specs are very similar to mine. I have the GTX560 as well. Hows that working out for you?

wideviewaspect=true? I have`nt touched that one, but im definetly gonna try. It is strange, really is! And darn annoying too! Thanks for the tip.

I see nothing wrong with the monitor. Should work great with FSX. Agree with others it is your installation of the video card drivers. I would not roll the drivers back to the previous version though. I would completely uninstall the drivers, then reinstall with the current or older version. I have found the best way to uninstall video card drivers is through the Device Manager instead of the Windows Add/Remove program. You can do this by opening the Device Manager (right click Computer on desktop, select Properties, then Device Manager); select the Display Adapter and select the Driver Tab; Select Uninstall and, when the next window opens, check the box where it says delete the driver software for this device. Once done, restart Windows then download and install an older version or reinstall the current version. Make sure you have UAC and any anti-virus program turned off during the installation. Hope this helps.Best regards,Jim

Alright! Thank you for taking the time! I`ll copy this recipe and give it a shot. The way I´ve been installing drivers is different from this. BTW: Would it be pointless to move on to a GTX580? I just cant get it out of my mind how annoying it is to see that some people seems to get exellentfps while running some pretty heavy add-ons, on systems identical to my own, while I struggle with FPS around 10 flying in default scenery like CYVR or over New Yorkin a add-on like Flight1`s Citation or ATR 72 with FSX settings on medium..

If you have a HD, then you need to defrag, defrag, defrag. I have an SSD and you cannot defrag one of those. Life is good! For some reason, Windows and all software programs, especially FSX, throw installation files all over a HD. You can get one of those defraggers that show the HD before it starts defragging and you'll see what I mean. It's ugly. There seems to be no method to its madness! You don't indicated whether you have OC'd the I5 2500 but you should if you can. FSX is CPU dependent. FS9 was more dependent on the GPU. So the faster your CPU, the better. So, I think it would be a bad move to upgrade to a GTX580. These are my suggestions. Perhaps others have more. Best regards,Jim
