Hi,
I have just installed the Nvidia 9800+ graphics card (supplier PNY) and with latest (now its latest but one ! see below) driver 182.5 installed, both MCFS3 and also Battle of Britain Wings of Victory ll exhibit incorrect mapping of skin tiles. In MCFS3 I could see instrument panel skins in the sky, the ground had fields with aircraft skins on them, some fields were pure white, back at base the 109E was all over light blue and trees had light blue squares. Similar effects in BoB2 with sky having square panels featuring artwork that was for explosions, aircraft skin took on the field skin, fields featured aircraft skins, instrument panel became brickwork etc.
Flying IL2 Forgotten Battles all was well. BoB2 and MCFS3 are Direct3D whilst IL2 is OpenGL.
Users report the previous driver 182.08 as ok.
Has anyone the 9800 or 9800+ and how is it for you with the latest driver ? What driver are you with ?
What flight sim are you with. It will be also interesting to know if it has or had issues with others than the two mentioned above.
Is there anything I should alter settings wise to fix this or is truly driver related as it seems to be ?
update...there is a latest driver just out I am told. It is not said to be a designed fix for BoB2 and MCFS3 but to try it
Do you find this fixes the problem if you have one that is ?
I shall try and engineer a time slot, back up the PC and try it.
