Vista 64 also, only issue I had was ATI drivers. But simple fix using this very friendly forum.

Sorry I missed that. Can i get a link to DCS max?

When you have loaded into the sim do you alt=tab out and ctrl-alt-del click the processes tab find the DCS.exe right click and set afinity and click all four or both core. This will share the CPU load over the many core of your CPU. Increasing the frame rates as DCS is VERY CPU dependant. Try it and let me know. I have aQ6600 $gb of dominator ram Ati 4870 1gb graphics card and vista 64bit. When i set the afinity to all four cores I get more FPS and a crisper looking game.

Thanks for the confimation will be placing my order soon.

I assume that amazon link is legit can a ED member confirm. Are they waiting to get the pre-sales to a certain level before doing a print run. If ED can post here and confirm its a legitamate amazon sale then you got another 3 pre-orders waiting for me and 2 of my friends.

Update........ Ok I have now have my ATI 9.2 Control center setting to. 8 x AA edge detection filter at 24 samples. 8 x AF Catalist AI = OFF!!! mip map detail = high quality. V sync set to aplication controlled Adaptive AA at high quality. opelGL set to tripple buffering. Also hit Ctrl-Alt-Del when the game is runnning go to processes and right click DCS set afinity to all 4 cores. sim running at 30% cpu load. And as mentioned before turn off VISTA visual themes etc by right clicking the DCS:BS icon and hit compatability check the 2 boxes as stated in my other post. My system is CPU intel q6600 not overclocked. 4GB ram 1Tb hard drive. ATI 4870 1gb Graphics card. 9.2 drivers on board sound. 22" Iiyama prolite monitor running at 1680x1050 VISTA home premiun 64 bit. Looks and runs very smooth hope this info helps ATI users. Hope posting images dosnt break forum rules but just wanted to show and say thanks to DCS, BS dose run and look great on 9.2

Reinstall directx. Thats also why you are getting issues loading the terrain your direct 3d is messed up.

Hi all, My first post so i thought id make it a good one. Been reading through the forum for a fix to the white menu screen and game not loading. Came across this thread and yes I have a ATI 4870 1gb ram running 9.2 drivers on a VISTA home premium 64bit system. So i guess this was the issue. Now i didnt want to use the older 8.12 driver as stated in above post and mod asked for help if any one got it working on ATI 9.2 so hear you go. Yes disable CAT Ai. Set all 3D settings in the control center to application controled. Thats ATI drivers sorted now the thing people are missing. Blackshark by deffault runs in a window on the desktop. VISTA uses a 3D desktop that BS dosnt like. Right click on the BS icon and click the compatability tab. Then select the disable visual themes box and the disable desktop compasition check box. Hit apply. Now when you run the sim a pop up in the bottom right will say something to the effect of turning off visual thems etc etc ignor it and the menu window will appear. Now you can see the menu got to options and tick the run full screen box. Let me know if it works now I can run BS and my other games with out losing 9.2 drivers. Enjoy the sim. Orford. This looks like my wallpaper but i Alt+tab to bring up the CCC and as you can see version 09.2
