Ha, yeah maybe.

The shimmering has been resolved, its just I don't have the graphics for the welcome screens. All else seems ok.

Right, done that and no change on the welcome page front. Shimmering graphics seems to have gone though.

Hi, I am noticing that the world outside the helo is shimmering. What can cause this effect and how can I eradicate it? I am using the following: Vista 32 bit Home premium Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13Ghz x 2 ATI Radeon X1550 2 Gig DDR 2 18 x Dvd Writer I have disabled the Catalyst AI as the sim wouldn't run at all with this option on. I have rolled back the driver as well, as when I am on the welcome screen it is blank, apart from the buttons, there are no headers and no image of the helo. All suggestions welcome and thanks for your help. IAN :thumbup:

Thanks again for the info. I have installed Catalyst 8.12, and no change. Any other ideas at all??? Thanks

Thank you for that, most useful. On the start up screen/ menu, there should be an image of the helicopter with a circle of buttons with headers. I do not have the headers or image, just a circle of buttons. Any ideas what has happened here? I have up graded to the 1.0.1c by the way, although it was doing this before I upgraded as well. Thanks

I found the tick box, what a relief. This seems quite complex. The accelerated start up sequence is enough. Is this written down somewhere? Thanks for your advice so far. Ian

I am using a Radeon X1550 HD 772i. Old I know, its on my list of things to replace. I am in the sim now after I turned off the catalyst AI, now it seems fine apart from the fact I am in a window! How do I get to display full screen? This is important, I find it hard to enjoy in a window. I would gladly give you a DXDiag if I knew how, care to share? Thanks Ian

Hi all,:thumbup: I have just finished the install onto my machine, Ii have registered via the multiplayer shortcut as the starter exe won't do anything other than say - starter.exe has stopped working. What should I do to correct this is my question?:helpsmilie: My system: Vista home premium 32 bit 2gb RAM ATI Radeon 256mb Intel 2 core duo E6420 2 x 2.13 Ghz 1) Error running Config/autoexec.cfg: cannot open Config/autoexec.cfg: No such file or directory 11/01/2010 11:14 V808201900 World::LoadPlugins: Loaded plugin module CockpitBase.dll 2) 11/01/2010 11:14 3) 2010.01.11 11:14:35:790 Try to create device.
