My new specs..

ProcessorsAMD 64 4200+ X2 Dual Core Procesors
Operating System- Windows XP Media Center
Ram- 1gig
Graphics- Nvidia 6800 GS Overclocked
Hardrive- 202 Gigs left
FS 2004 installed
350 watts of system power
Graphics Driver- ForceWare 81.98

Why are my textures doing this.. It also messes up the textures on terminal buildings and taxings and runways.
I'm also having problems with Vox ATC.. But I am emailing the guy about that..
If you need any info I'll give it to you.. I think the problem is the Forceware driver for my 6800.

first of all, 350 watts for that system is waaay below what You should have.

and well, You could try older drivers...

Hey Guffair :D

Probably your gfx drivers..... Well, sorry I can't be of more help, but I wanted to "wave" at you and tell you to hurry up and get that "rig" straightened out so I can slam you in the s/s forum! :lol:

It's not "waaay below", it's almost the limit. The Geforce 6200 needs a power supply of at least 250W, while the 6800 needs about 350W, so I think you're fine. Try using older drivers that previously worked.

EDIT: Just checked your attachment... Maybe you should either try reinstalling the scenery and textures or just FS2004 itself.

yeah, he has the 6800 BUT he is also running a 64 4200+ dual-core processor, needs lots of power.

I really don't think that it is the watts.. I can run battlefield 2 at almost 70fps..
It only happens some of the time..
I'll try an older driver and see what happens

Here is a pic that i have posted in the forum...

Yeah. Go to www.nvidia.com At the menu you can download drivers. Just select your video card model, download it, and install it.

Well, the more recent the driver, the better, in most cases. Remember to backup your current driver, in case some games have conflicts with the new ones.
