i have exactly the same problem. it only shimmers, like the programe doesn't make use of the graphic card at all. in the settings menu i have the ability to choose between some graphic adjusments, but it dosen't say what. the rows are all blank, except for the resolution choices of which don't change anything regarding the shimmering.
i'm running the latest edition booth on my graphic card and directx driver. but it won't work. nothing wrong with the controls and sound though.
please help me, i really need to learn the basics of flying before i fly my first plane (2-channel sailplane). since i built it myself it would be awful to crash immediatly.
