Hi.I do not have the European version. I have the Video driver installed.Post your "render.ini" file here, and try start without T&L and reduce high/medium density to mid scale, and restart. It sounds like you are exceeding the max. memory alocation/64Mb in you render file. TV

[Graphics]mipLevelCount=8Thanks for the help hears my render.ini its unchanged from the fresh install of fly and the setting's the PMDG programs make.vertexIndexFormat=1premultiplyColorAndAlpha=0allowAutoMipMapping=0directTextureFlag=0[Textures]maxTextures32=0maxTextures64_565=16maxTextures128=72maxTextures128_565=999maxTextures256=20maxTextures256_565=32maxTextures512=8maxTextures512_565=0maxTextures1024=1mipMapFlag=896maxTextures64=16[NonAGP]maxTextures256_565=0[AGP]maxTextures256_565=0

Hi. Try to change ..128_565=999 to =280 and see if it helps. Also try to change "vertexIndexFormat=1" to "..=0"I am not at my main system right now and unable to post my render, maybe someone else will. I will try to post later, if this does not help. TV

OK will try this later thanks again .Could you Email your Render.ini to me as I am away for the week tomorrow and it will have gone from the forum by the time i return Thanks Wayne

Hi. I do not have your EMail.Here is what I use. You may want to keep mipLevelCount=8. Try other values ans see what works for you best, after you resolve the Error message.

Well I tryed your INI setting's but get the same ERROR so I guess I hve to live with no detailed texture's for now.:-( Thanks Wayne Roberts [email protected]

Did you try and reinstall the PMDG patch after the 230 update??I think you should give it a try...cheers

Wayne,All seems like it should have worked for you.Try this:1. Remove any *.sit files in the system directory.2. Check your agp memory size settings in your bios.3. Have you installed recent nvidia drivers. I remember that the 230 update is also installing new video drivers for fly! so that may also be related.I am sure its something that can be solved without re-formatting or re-installing the whole thing.Mannie

Dear Wayne,You can use high detail textures with no problems. All you have to do is select only Directx8 WITHOUT Transform and Lighting option. This error happened after Nvidia

Thank's for the help have put Keyton Cabral's render.ini, in and reinstalled video driver's work's with high resolution texture's using Directx 8, but not with Directx8 T&L So I can live with that. Anymore help would be great but I'm fairly happy now. Thank's again Wayne Roberts
