Micro$oft flight sim2002 problems

ok when your in the plane all the (water) around you is black and the plane is black but not ever plane is black i am thinking one of the settings is doing this but i have gone over all the settings and still i get the black all my drivers are up to date spec's below adnd when i make a screen shot i will post it

windows98se
ASUS P4S8X-X MOBO
Asus Ti4200 128mb x8 agp video
celeron 2.0ghz running at 2.7ghz
1gig ram----- 1x pc2100 512mb ram, 2x pc3200 256mb dual channel ram
52x32x52x liteon cd-rw
16x dvd-rom sony
40gig hdd

 

He-he! you said $!

No but seriously, if your running dual chan with unmatched pairs and unmatched freq thats just asking for trouble; dual chan won't work with 3 pairs of dimms; and the speed of your ram is the minimum, pc2100, not pc2100 + pc3200.

Having black pixels per say is ussally corruption of the video card driver / overheating problem / or mobo drivers out dated.

 

well heres you a screen shot ever thing is up to date no heat problems and its not the ram i done tried just the dual channel or just the 2 sticks of 512mb
btw i only have 3 slots for ram thats why i just have the 2 sticks of dual channle and one stick of the 512 init of eles

 

That cant be a dual chan mobo then; like I said (stated on prev post) those are the main causes; you can try to properly remove (using driver cleaner 3) and reinstall the drivers for your mobo/sound/video, or you can just negate anything is wrong with your pc. Worse comes to worse it can be your ram on the video card failing.

 

ok i reset the settings on fs2002 i still get black water and the plane looks like a unpainted model

 

use driver cleaner 3 and remove your vid card drivers and download the newest batch off their website. Do you have dx9.0c installed?

 

yes i have 9.0c installed came with the driver i downloaded for my video card and i used driver cleaner3 i am thinking maybe it was just a bad install of fs2002 seeing as i just done it let me reinstall it and give it a try

 

u probably already did this.. but just tp be sure... are there any updates or patches for the sim?

 

nope i did not do that because i guess there is no updates for it because i cant seem to find the main site for it when i click the link for its site on micro$oft's website it sends me to the fs2004 site and theres nothing there for fs2002

btw the reinstall did nothing so thats not it i tried different ram all my software says my video card is good and i think it is good because it is playing bf1942, doom3 and gta:vc just fine no problems so could it be that there is a cap problem between the game and the video card?

 

try the official support...tell them about ur problem and send them a screenshot if u can

 

they could not help me? well i turned down all the detail and now i can see the water but the plane is still white and some of the towers are black i am now thinking it may be a conflic between my video card settings and the settings of the game so i am now going to try and match all the settings up and see if that works if not i will be at a loss about whats going on maybe i should just update to fs2004 or when fs2006 comes out i am almost sure that fs2006 will come out this year

 

There hasnt been anything official for Flight Sim 2k6, and its already half way through the year so i doubt theyve been hiding this project from public eye; specially during E3 and all.
I think you need a new pc before even dreamin' of playing FS 2006

 

well i contacted Nvidia about it and they sent me to the ASUS website to contact them so i sent them an e-mail http://flyawaysimulation.com/modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif tech support was no help this is what they said in the e-mail they sent me
"Dear Sir/Madam:

Test with the latest drivers for both your motherboard and VGA card. You may need to update the application via the Microsoft website.
