Another ATI Vcard question

[Guest chezz]

I'm using a ATI 9800 AIW card but I noticed that DirectX T&L is not working even when it's enabled. What I mean here is that the aircraft color doesn't change with the sun's reflection. I'm, getting a minimum of 40 FPS cockpit view all slider max and 65-100 external view with 4X AA and 6X ANISO set.any thoughts on this.chris-CA

Chris,First of all, is the following line in the fly.ini is set as follows:useEnvLighting=1?I'm not an ATI user, but I do know that the TRI updated video drivers (tridx*.dll) were designed specifically for the GeForce (nVidia) card. If you have applied the 230 or 240 patch, the original driver set was automatically overwritten and may be causing some compatibility issues for your card. If you saved the original drivers, just copy the video DLLs back into the Fly!II root directory. As a last resort, if you didn't save them, you may have to reinstall Fly!II, set the video drivers aside, install the updates then copy the drivers back in. If you can get the originals from someone without doing this, it may save some headaches.

Randall,Thank You very much the trick worked I changed the value of useEvnlighting in the system.ini from 0 to 1.cheerschris-CA
