February 2, 201412 yr A fresh FSX installation and on loading for the first time I get this compass rose like artifact on the display - can't get rid of it. Never seen this before. Suggestions anyone on what I can do about it. Thanks Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."

February 2, 201412 yr Author I don't think it is the mission compass rose because when in full screen mode this artifact is also on my second monitor which is usually blank. Also it is still there even with after reverting to a virginal copy of FSX that I saved immediately after installation. It comes on at the 80% point in the loading terrain process. Could it be video driver issue? Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened." Gandalf: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide.

February 2, 201412 yr That isn't a compass rose, looks more like a clock, though the tick marks are wrong. I would bet it has something to do with your video drivers or another program that monitors performance during game play. Does it do anything when you fly? regards, Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.
February 2, 201412 yr Do you have an Asus sound card or onboard sound? It looks like their Sonic Radar Sound app. http://rog.asus.com/technology/rog-sound-innovations/sonic-radar/ Rob"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it"
February 2, 201412 yr Author Well I don't think it is the video driver just updated to the latest driver and the artifact is still there. Beginning to think there is some more deep seated issue with my brand new system. It might be an activation issue but I did get a confirmation that both FSX and Acceleration were activated successfully during this install. Bit stumped may have to do a compete re install of FSX and possibly Win7. Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."

February 2, 201412 yr Bit stumped may have to do a compete re install of FSX and possibly Win7. No need to reinstall. It is the exact compass rose they use so I bet it is Sonic Radar if you have a New system. I have the latest Motherboard and it came with that app. too. Just uninstall or deactivate the Sonic Radar software, it is really only good for 3d person shooters. Rob"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it"

I owe you one - after installing FSX I have just spent many hours installing all my Orbx stuff and I didn't want to go through that again.

February 2, 201412 yr Glad to hear that buddy! Enjoy that new system. Rob"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it"
