If you have an Nvidia card it'll flash, so you had to turn off the texture ?

All you have to do is load a photolistic scenery that use a skybox.
You must use 2.8 to run photolistic sceneries.
Then re size the bottom/down/#5 image to an incorret size.
Example

If you look in the landscapes section. I made some for you to
down load. You must convert the images to .bmp files.
Use any art software or image converter.

However you must erase the 3D and crash object from the .scn
file...becuase i edit it. Use NOTEPAD.

If not...just download the RATTY scenery from RC-SIM
or go to Harald's site. Just resize the bottom image to
the incorrect size.

You can even check the ROOM scenery (3D) from RC-SIM
or other in doors...just resize the bottom image or
"fieldr "image to the incorrect size. The flashing will stop.
The ground will trun white.

I solved that by placing a panel/object ove it.

It's wierd. Nvidia is projecting the quad panel backwards...
therefore cuasing the flashing.

I'm working on it. I working on a 3D scenery that will not
flash. I got everything to work without flashing , but I'm
need to work out a little problem. i also figure out how to
make the 3D scenery super duper big like flight gear...
for the chase mode.

In the mean time you'll just have to settle for purdy photolistic
scneries.lol

Or you can open the FMS's collet file..if you're brave.
I use note pad...half is in english and half is coded.

The nvidia works fine with other sims..so I'm not going
to mess with it just to run fms in 3D mode.
I can get it to work in purdy mode.lol

Hello smcxx66,
Your workaround procedure to allow FMS to work with Vista + nVidia works on my configuration. More precisely:
. I have used your stadium and resort sceneries (to be found in this forum: viewtopic.php?t=4771)
. I resized the bottom image to an incorrect size (producing a white ground)
. I erase the following lines in the .scn files:

3D_LANDSCAPE 3d

TEXTURE Crash TRANSPARENT (and the 4 following lines)

TEXTURE Crash TRANSPARENT again with the 4 following lines

. I can now use FMS without any flashing

Thank you smcxx66 for this solution

dear all,
i had that filickering thing on my brand new vista laptop with nvidia graphic card so i was able to:

- organize the missing dll
- downlod some of these phantastic sceneries you guys provided
- if neccessary converted them to bmp
- removed 3d, crashing ... info from the scn file

the flashing went away - but now i have flashing bar on top of the screen and around/over the plane - so i even cant see it

any ideas?

thanks and regards
hotaction

I have the flickering problem too.

So do I need version 2.8 to fix this? I don´t know where to download 2.8

I notice its been a while since you posted your solution... Might there be a never/better one now?

Im using a Toshiba Qosmio X300 with vista.
