I actaully somewhat sovled the flashing screen on nvida driver, vista,
FMS combo.
What you do is increase the images .bmp files in the scnerise to 2048x2048. Then click the window...big window or little window.
This will increase a photolistic scenery to 80 mb..pretty close to
how the G3 scneries files size are.
My laptop however only has a Ge go 6150 which only have 128 mb gpu
and not really gear up for gaming. The screen rate is slow and the
vedio breaks up. if you have a more powerful driver that might
solve it. maybe something with 256 or greater.
Bascailly this perticular laptop or driver is not gear for gaming and it has
slow frame rate with other graphic intense stuff also. Runing Vista
as an OS dosn't help becuase Vista is a memory hog to begin with
anyway.
I have problems with XP home edition. For some reason I get an
error and it won't let me load the 2.8 version but the 2.7 version
is not a problem.
I also have an older laptop with XP PRO on it. FMS 2.8 runs perfect on that. No clictch of any kind. I'm not sure exactly what graphic cards it
has on it, but i can set the .bmp files at 1024x1024 and it runs
smooth.
