Hi Folks

Ben -
The screenie shows the CTRL+Z line 1 info (windspeed kts)
wrapped onto the second band,
as if the card thinks the window is double the actual width .

At a guess it's a res versus VSync/refresh rate issue.

Check your settings on the video card output.

All sorted now Paul. my LCD can run at 75Hz, and thats what I had it set to. For some reason, FSX doesn't like this when windowed and AA is aplication controlled. I've set the monitor back to 60Hz and all is well.

Cheers :thumbsup:

Hi Ben

i can only get the MipBias setting to function when it's with my Video card settings in the FSX.cfg.

does nothing if placed in [Display] section

Like this

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX.0]
Mode=1920x1200x32
MipBias=6
Anisotropic=1
AntiAlias=1

regards
Rick

I suppose the missing linefeed is a typo? If not that is the problem...
