Gauge distortion in VC...

Featured Replies

I can't figure out if this is video card artifacts, a aircraft memory leak, or what else???Started recently happening in FSX with the ES C750. The odd thing was, I switched to the Flight1 Mustang and its G1000 panels did the same thing, they essentially doubled up ie squeezed two gauges into one window.Note 1) The 2D popups look normal. 2) Ctrl+Alt+Del, maybe it's a vram issue? Anyway it went back to normal after doing ctrl alt delete and looking at the task manager.Any ideas?The only thing I've changed system-wise is adding Logitech drivers for my mouse, which is a G5 and you can change the DPI on the fly...oddc750-1.jpg

Here's another extreme example - this happened after alt+tabbing out of FSX (after landing at JFK by FSDT) and then back...wow...c750bad.jpg

This was discussed here in this forum very recently (within the past week). Another individual had a similar problem with a different aircraft. In any case, almost everyone who commented stated it was a problem with your video card drivers and you should roll back to the previous version or reinstall. I'll see if I can dig up the previous post.Best regards,Jim

Hmmm... it's odd that it just started appearing within the last two days though. I've flown long flights, with payware addons and scenery. Maybe there was a Win7 hotfix that changed something???I haven't changed video card drivers since I put the system together.I'm not saying it isn't gpu drivers but why would this only start happening now?For reference I'm on the 275.33 WHQL using nvidia inspector.

Here's a link to the article I said I would try to find earlier - http://forum.avsim.net/topic/339806-screen-flimmering-in-fsx/ . Appears to be the same problem.Best regards,Jim

I have the 275.33 drivers installed for my GTX580 and have had no problem with them yet. Hope you can find a solution to your issue!Best regards,Jim

I just pulled up my Mustang and my panel is not distorted whatsoever. If I had the problem though, I would uninstall and reinstall it. Best regards,Jim
