Thanks Liono for the pointer. But I must add, that 48Mb only refers to the American English version, ie., for those using keyboards in American configuration. For English keyboards, you must use the International version, which is over 60Mb.

Have downloaded and installed the 60Mb+ drivers, all I can say after running fs9, is fantastic. The fps has shot up to around the 60fps mark, and that's running the ATR fps gobbler. Previously was lucky to see much more than 15fps.

A completely different front end to the nVidia console, and has built in settings for the most popular games, fs9 is one of them. And I'm unable to play with it now till next Tuesday, Bah! Holidays interfere with simming.

Just wondering now, not in such a hurry for my hardware upgrade.

Thanks for the pointer to the download Liono, 'triffic!

Cheers.........

I hadn't bothered downloading them until now - last time I downloaded their new drivers, they caused problems so I rolled back my drivers to my old ones.

If these ones have improved - I'll download them right now!

So I should be downloading the 91.28_forceware_winxp2k_international.exe file then?

Thanks Wink

I've downloaded both versions of the drivers, english and international, and neither of them will load up Wall Bashing

I've uninstalled version 84.21, rebooted the machine, but it just wont have it, I get as far as this............

and thats it, the screen just freezes on the above, even after 30 minutes.
I've reinstalled version 84.21. Rolling Eyes

Call me a brick but i never upadte Graphics Drivers.I did it once some months ago just for experiment and i didnt notice anything better and from the other side my splashscreen was flashing when FS starts.I stay to the drivers i get wih my card.

Of course this is only my point and opinion. Exclamation

I did install them, yes. The only message that did appear was that it said that my graphics card (Geforce 5200) hadn't been software tested by Microsoft which may cause graphical instability but I haven't noticed any major problems.

The only detrimental thing I've noticed is that on the FS9 "Create A Flight" screen, it doesn't come up with the picture of the chosen aircraft now. It hasn't provided any noticeable benefits so I might roll back my drivers later on Rolling Eyes

Thanks for your reply Jon Wink

I must admit that, I've never noticed any difference when I've updated, I'll stick with version 84.21

It's amazing, the different results users have when installing drivers.

I must state that in the case of Graphics, there is a strict requirement/protocol

You must remove/uninstall previous driver(s), then reboot. When Windows then says it has found new hardware, just cancel that whatever, ignore it!

Yes! You will then be running in what looks like 'Safe Mode', but once installed, you can then adjust settings, very easily using the updated nVidia Control Panel.

Then before installing you must stop all Anti-Virus programs from running, after this you should get a troublefree install.

I'm using XP Home, with nVidia 6600GTX + 256Mbs graphics mem. on card, and the results for me are very good. My previous driver was version 84.21
