Got FMS 8.3 Beta up in Vista... No Flashing

[jlemoine@comcast.net]

I'm running a Nvidia 8600GTS video card with the latest Nvidia Vista drivers. Yes, I got flashing but was able to solve it by going under the FMS graphics menu and UNCHECK texturing. Is it perfect yet, no! but it is usable until FMS catches up.

I've been doing that for months. With vista 32 and Nvdia go6150 on my laptop
I've actaully installed virtaul pc into home vista and it works.
using XP pro sp2. However i'm having a problem wtth my usb
device with XP..but that's a XP issue. if anyone knows how to
solve that..I would aprricitate if you tell me how to get usb
into device manager of XP. I can't fly too good using the
keyboard.lol

FMS works okay in vista without texture.

For some reason FMS/vista/nvdia won't texture
FMS/XP/nvdia works find

i was using an old PC with only intel III and 3dx , only a 256 memory
FMS was working perfectly in that. The only problem i had was
the black box around the object but i notice, if I trun off the maping
in the graphic option, the black box gose away.
but my pc crash becuase of an old mother borad.

I'm also just using a game pad at the moment, plug it into the usb
it works fine..You can just take the spring out of the thorttle so
it dosn't go back to center. You can also set the gain of the gamepad
itself then calbrate it in fms

i had to take out a little clicking deal from my throttle when I
used my air plane TX for my heli

i'm planing on just using smartpropo becuase my LT dosn't have
all those other com ports...it has a mic jack, I can plug into tho.
Have plenty of extra new TX laying around that purchase just to use
the servos, RX,and battery when i add planes to my fleet.lol

The put the d3drm.dll file into the system32 folder

click on computer, then window, then look for the system32 folder

then just drag and drop the d3drm.dll into that folder.

i made a copy of the d3drm.dll from my XP, but I think there's
plenty of places on the web you can get it. Just google I guess.

once you get that going , you'll see the flashing screen. maybe not..
it depends..on the graphic card you have , i think
Just click the GRAPHIC tab, then trun off the texture and smooth
texture.

to load more model the path is computer/program files/fms/modle

to run virtual PC.

download virtaul PC 2007 from MS. Install it.
you have to make sure you assign a folder for it.
just follow the instructions.
you have to set tha ram memory...slide the bar accordingly.
then it'll ask you to set the harddrive virtaul folder size.
I leave that at default becuase it'll ask you again.
You don't have to set it at 16 gig. You can drop it down to 10 or less.
Then i just install xp
