I've been setting up my sim according to Sim Samurai for FS9, it recommends setting AA outisde of FS9. I have an ATI HD6970 video card when I set AA in Catalyst I get a black instrument panel in the default Cessna. Why?

Using full screen or wndowed mode. I have an ATI5850 and need to use windowed. Also make sure "Desktop composition" and "disable visual themes" are selected for FS9..... right click the FS9 icon and set them in properties.Peter

If memory serves me correct, blank panels are linked to Anti-Aliasing / Full screen issue and the use of this line in the FS9.cfgPanelAsTexture=Use Google and search on "PanelAsTexture="Then again, I could be completely lost in fog on this issue.RJ

Actually I found it, it is tweak #6 in the Sim Samurai book and goes like this,(Your Graphics Card Here) what ever you card is...Mode=whatever your res isTriLinear=1TextureAGP=0PanelAsTexture=0The last 2 lines don't work for me regardless of how I enable my AA, inside or outside the sim. As soon as I got rid of this it's all good. So 3Green you were almost there, thanks.
