hello all,
just bought an Esky heli that came with this software. the software installs, and seems to work, but the graphics render streaks and is blocky. i changed the resolution which helps a little but not enough. compatibility mode didnt work at all, which i expected, but tried it anyway. i downloaded the 8.5 alpha version and tried it after uninstalling the box version and it is the same deal. when i look in the file tab under graphics, it only recognizes "primary display driver" but not my invidia gforce 9400 GT card? not sure why, unless the sim simply is not compatible with with modern graphics cards?
i am pretty sure the controller is working from what little i have been able to see so far, as it offers calibration and setup options for my transmitter with the softdog attached to USB, so i am not concerned there.
if i can get the graphics resolved that would be great. if not, it was worth trying before having to spend big bucks out on commercial flightsim software.
my pc specs are as follows...
