fsx-ms FSX problem or window problem?

[Hoang 108]

It looks very similar to what happen when scrolling up and down the website with Win7 basic themes, of course when running FSX win7 changes to basic themes but I don't know if both of these are related.

Because my English isn't good so I don't know how to explain the problem. All I can tell is that it isn't smooth.

My FSX is a fresh new one will Acceleration package, just installed it. I don't know how to mod or config the fsx.cfg, most settings in FSX are default. I'm brand new to this game, moved from Fs9.

Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks all!

Try those settings on your FSX graphics page, aniosotropic, anti-aliasing, etc. See if that has an effect.

Looks like you do not have Vsync turned on

 

Go to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ where you will find your FSX.cfg

In the [GRAPHICS] section,  add the following:

ForceFullScreenVSync=1

 

You can alternatively set this in the NV control panel or Nvidia inspector

I think it's to do with the res, you get the same sort of problem in a browser when the res is set to low. Check your gfx drivers etc.

Thanks, I gave it a try and it didn't work. It happens both in full screen and windowed mode.

Only when my Win7 is in basic themes, in aero themes the browser functions normal.

Thanks I tried but still no luck.

Wait, after doing this AND set vsync ON in Nvidia Inspector. It works in full screen mode. But how about windowed mode since I use windowed most of the time.

To have Vsync in windowed mode requires Aero to be on, see this post:

Thank you so much! Works perfectly!

 

After hours of googling, I found out my problem called "flickering horizontal lines". Some other people had the same trouble.

Glad it's working now for you.

Actually that's not the case, since both my dev PCs have vsync in windowed mode without ever seeing Aero desktop, and so do plenty of others. However some systems do end up with no vsync in windowed mode, reason I've not found yet, but switching Aero modes usually cures the problem condition. I would suggest only play with Aero modes if experiencing troubles.

Well the Op was experiencing troubles, hence I suggested activating Aero,

Glad we agree...

It's a public forum and so I am posing answers to a wider audience, thanks.

I am sure the wider audience appreciates your input Steve... :smile:

Yeah unlucky that I have to do a little "trick" to get the Vsync on. Thanks to Glynn everything works like a charm now.

I added the caveat to "your" discussion that Aero is not a setting required for all systems - really, get over it.  :rolleyes:
