I have a GeForce 4 MX, and I know its capable of displaying reflective textures, as it can do so in Unreal Tournament 2004. So why not in Fs2002? Is there a way of fixing this?

Check your display settings, there is a checkbox there fro reflections, you should turn it on.

Thanks for the suggestion, but i've already done that. I hear that many other people have the same problem as me.

I hate to trot out the same old tired questions, but what version of directx do you have? Do you have the latest drivers for the card? etc. etc. etc.

Take Groundsquirrel's ad-vice.

Also, some planes don't have the capability for reflections...depends on the maker. Don't look for anything that isn't there to begin with.

Post back if you haven't solved the problem k?

Thanks for the tips but yes, it still doesn't work. I tried it on a Beechcraft King Air 350 by Chuk Dome which does have reflections. Its really odd...

I have been haveing a simular problem with my GeForce 4 Mx 440 SE could I do this for FS 2004 too?

hi Paul,

FS2004 uses a different format - where with the ID it also uses the actual driver dll name.

First thing you need to do is find out what driver file your card is using - right-click desktop -> display properties -> Settings -> Advanced. I have a tab there "GeForce FX5600" - in there I can see my Display driver file is called nv4_disp.dll.

Once you know what the filename is, find your card from the list I have added on the previous post. Lets try with the NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440SE with AGP8X settings.

you need to add the following section
