December 3, 200421 yr Hi All,I recently installed a BFG nVidia GeForce 6800GT to replace my Radeon 9700Pro. Within FS9, I set the display to my new card however, the FS9.cfg still shows [DISPLAY.Device.RADEON 9700 PRO.0]. What text should be entered for the 6800GT? Also, within FS9 settings, dislay, there are 2 choices for the 6800GT. They are 6800GT.0 and 6800GT.1. Which should I choose? It is currently set to GT.0Thanks for any helpSticks
December 3, 200421 yr Hi Sticks, I did the exact same upgrade. What you need to do is rebuild your FS9.cfg file by deleting both it, and FS9.cfg.txt. Then, when you open FS9 again, you will be greeted with the virgin initialization you had when you first installed FS9. Unfortunately, you will need to reset any of your keyboard/joystick controls customizations or other .cfg tweaks, should you have had any previously in your FS9.cfg.Also, be sure you delete out all ATI stuff correctly from your PC. I'm not certain how critical this is, but many say it is. I find it hard to believe that in XP SP2 or Win2000 the OS gets confused about what video card is installed and operating. Sounds like something left over from Win 3.1, but again, many say it is important.Noel Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.

December 5, 200421 yr Hi Noel,Sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks for the info. I'll do that and backup the origianl and use it as reference incase I need to make changes to the new one.I used ATI's driver cleaner, so hopefully all of the ATI stuff is gone.Thanks againiBill
