Classic British Flight Sim

Hi gents

im now useing a new machine...it's a beast, but is VISTA :@

im having all sorts of problems with it.
one of them is the Iris DSB Freeware Tornado, both F3 and Gr4tonka

first of all the GR4 has auto sweep wings... does anyone know how to disable this?

2ndly and most importantly.... i have added some repaints and repaint packs to both variants, some of the schemes work, and others do nothing, in the aircraft preview box it is just black?

does any one know what the problem could be? i have check the a/c cnfg, it all seems to be in order....

if no one has the answer, does anyone have a fully working set and will allow me to have a copy of their a/c cnfg file please!!

regards in advance

Neil

Hi Neil, The wing sweep is nowt to do with vista, so not sure whats causing that (always assumed it was the way they made it... one of the gauges possibly?)

Re the repaints not showing up... could be your graphic card drivers.... are you on Nvidia or ATI?

:think:

Any chance of a screenie or two to show what you see in game and on the selection screen?

I run it under Vista (The GR4) without problems.

Finally..... are you sure you are not selecting the AI version? Definitely no auto sweep on the 'player' model....

here are some screenies






what version of the gr4 do you use? mine deffo has auto sweep...and i cannot get the repaints to even show in the menu let alone anything else!

the F3 well it says the paint is there but is just a black screen as shown!!!

looks like the NVidia / AA issue in FS9. Is it an Nvidia card?

yeah it is ben!!!


still dont understand why half the paints work and half dont!!!

surely it would be an issue across the board

Hi Neil.... thats the strange thing, it wasn't across the board. DB could tell you better as he suffered with it for ages. I remember when i was using FS9 back in the day, it seemed to just happen on my machine overnight (or so i thought) Think it was to do with the format of the repaints and the way AA was enabled (i.e. on the driver or through FS9) and a version of the NVidia drivers.

OK Ben


im on the case, just making sure my drivers are upto date, see i get a kind of shimmering on my land detail craphics whilst in game, and im not sure how to stop it,,,.....


i guess i just dont know how to set up my FS2004 to get the best out of it!! :roll:

If I turn my AA up too high I lose the aeroplane preview on most not all and on some not all the time.

Never made any sense to me.......but not much ever does

Theres something in my head that in FS9 if you force AA through the graphics card driver software and set it to x4 and set biliner it should work... but don't hold me to that.
