XP Pro 8.5 gittering display, Throttle wont idle revs high

[blumr2]

Hi Guys, I have manageed to get 8.5 installed onto XP Pro with no errors and runs the older models quite well. On the later models some of the will run but the screen freezes up and then others the idle will not come down and stays reving high.

I have and old hand built metal metal controller from RCFS that works in JoyStick mode and on 2.7 works very well and calibates correctly, Only when on 8.5 does the throttle playup and if you then go to take off there is no throttle response.

Thanks in advance if anyone has had similar errors and found a way around.

Cheers

If your controller acts as a joystick, test it with
Select Joy 1 or 2 in menu, press the 'joystick' button. To go back, press 'freeze'.

Thank You Phil, Ill give that a try, i gather my screen issue will be Direct X or driver related.

Also i note a lot of people seem to have problems with nVidia cards ?? Guess what mine is. Might try the Virtual PC and Vista setup test on the Laptop.
