Hi all, I have a P4-3.06ghz with 1gb of ram, Radeon 9600 256mg video. It really is a great improvement over my old system. Very smooth & detailed except for one thing. Certain panels will delay as they draw the texture when I switch to that view. This is most notable on the Eaglesoft Citation X but it does happen on other planes that I don't fly as much. I have AGP aperture set to 256 in the bios. Render to texture is off since with it on I get panel flicker. Any ideas? Thanks for any input.Pat Callaghan

This is common with many models with complex textures. There isn't anyway to fix it other than using less complex textures for the airplanes. For example, the Eaglesoft plane has 4 different models which give different levels of performance and visual quality.

I was sort of expecting that but thought I would ask anyway. Thanks.PatPS I grew up in Buffalo's west side & went to Riverside High before joining the Navy.

I have an antiquated machine so see this problem often. One way to reduce the effect is to cycle through all the cockpit views once at the onset. After that the side views pop up rather quickly -- at least faster than before.-------------------Racartronit means something, but I just can't remember what

If you have added the lines "Panel as a texture" or "texture AGP" and have them disabled this could be the culprit.Enable them again. Some so called "tweaks" made things slower in MSFS for me.XP Home SP2Asus P4P800-SE Intel 3.0GHZDDR 400 D/C 2x512MBGeForce FX 5700 256MB (56.72)SB AudigyMSFF2 & X45 throttleSee you in the fence...CYYZ

I do have both lines & they are set to 0. I will give it a try. ThanksPat
