Disply problems

[Harald_Kraft 1]

Hisince my upgrade to DX9 I sometimes get those grey stripes in the air. They are not everywhere and only in some directions.This screenshot is taken overhead LOIJ.They are not graphics card related. I had them with my old MX400 and i have them with my new FX5900.I tried every display setting and different changes in the FLY.INI and RENDER.INI without effect.any ideas ?ThanksHarald

I dont know the answer Harald, but I get those as well around Geneva and Aosta. My graphics card is an 128meg inno 3d gforce4 mx with agpx8. I had the same problem with my old card too??? I would love to know the answer. *:-* Stevehttp://mysite.freeserve.com/ysomdesign/banner.jpg My Websitehttp://www.wrexhamspace.orghttp://www.cafeshops.com/wrexhamspace

Hello,I had these problems and changed my RENDER.INI for more 256er Texture-Space.Maybe it will solve your problems.Cord

Hi Harald and everybody else,that's interesting, because I had that problem many times before withmay old graphics card, and now with my newer Geforce4 Ti4200 using dx9. So you gave me the idea to try it again today, and here is whatI found and hope that could be of help.I have that problem at Half Moon Bay (HAF) but had it in other locations as well, and I think it can happen any place.First I tried the suggestion of giving more slots to the 256 maxtextures without success. Then I fiddled around with the "scenery options" in Fly. I tried to change all the settings. No success, untilI turned down the 'max visibility' from 30 down. Nothing happened until I reached 25. And NOW the stripes are gone! No problem reducing further, but the moment I came up to 26, they were back again.Well, I don't know why this happens, but maybe someone of the technical gurus might have an idea. So try to reduce your visibilityand see if it solves the problem for you as well. Would be interesting to know. Anyway, I thought I share what I found and maybe it's of some help.Rodger http://rodgerchristmann.com

Hi Steve,pls have a look at mine which I use for a P4,512MB, GeForce FX5600 with 128MB.[Graphics]mipLevelCount=8vertexIndexFormat=0premultiplyColorAndAlpha=0allowAutoMipMapping=0directTextureFlag=0[Textures]maxTextures32=20 maxTextures32_565=20maxTextures64=16maxTextures64_565=64maxTextures128=72maxTextures128_565=200maxTextures256=32maxTextures256_565=84maxTextures512=8maxTextures512_565=0maxTextures1024=1mipMapFlag=896[NonAGP]maxTextures256_565=0[AGP]maxTextures256_565=0The FLY.INI settings aremaxUserVisibility=40distanceHidingRadius=4I think the stripes depend on the capacity of your video card and all settings in the INI

Hi allIn my case, reducing the visibility made it even worse. But increasing the 256 texture slots improved the situation much.Now i have those stripes only between 3 an 7 miles visibility. With more than 7 miles visibility everything is Ok.I think, there are different parameters involved. Is there somewhere a guru who can enlighten me (us)?:-halo greetingsHarald
