I'm running FSX but it's only the WOP planes
In regard to posting up screenshots, do i need to upload them onto a webpage or server or something,before posting it here?(it would be good if i could just take them off my harddrive.) |
Ok, since you're running FSX, the folder I was referring to "Flight Simulator Files" will have a slightly different name but serves exactly the same purpose as the one in FS9. Have you deleted it yet and tried out my suggestions?
Note: In case you have saved flights which you don't want to lose, just Cut & Paste that folder to your desktop or any other place where the sim can't fint it at startup instead of deleting it.
The sim will still create a new folder and at a later stage you can go to that old folder and pick out those saved flights you didn't want to lose and place them into the new folder. Of course there's a chance that you'll restore the flight which caused all the trouble in the first place and you're back to square one. It's not worth the trouble... your call.
I think you can take your screenies direct off your HDD with Flashgot and other utilities but I've never learned how to do this. I find it's easy to accidentally delete or move an image on the HDD which means that the post you made with your pic in it will be messed up.
Most of us use PhotoBucket  http://photobucket.com/ -- you can open a free account, that's all you need for our purpose. One of the advantages of uploading the images you want to post to PhotoBucket first is that you're not likely to 'accidentally' delete images from that account and your posts remain intact.

Sorry warlord I've never seen that before. I've got the same Spit, though it's the FS9 version and my OS is XP.
I think you mentioned that you got the P-47 as well... does it do the same thing? If it does, try the default Cessna and see what happens.
You could also try the Corsair I raved on about the other day:
http://flyawaysimulation.com/postt31625.html ...just read my last post.
I'm suggesting these different aircraft because the Spit and the P-47 are obviously from the same source, the Cessna is a default a/c and the Corsair is a 3rd party freeware a/c.
If all of the above a/c eat up your trees, we'll know at least that the problem is NOT caused by any a/c.
That is good and bad news, bad because I haven't got a clue what causes it. I suspect that the problem has to do with either one of any upgrades such as SP1 or SP2 or an add-on ie. Acceleration... or Vista if that's your OS -- oooor a combination of the above.
I won't mention current drivers for your GFX card as I think you're savvy enough to keep an eye on that without being reminded.

Well this is the p40b which also was in WOP, and no issues.
Also tried the defalt cessna, and your fsx corsair, also no issues.
So, its down to the spitty.
Well I'm still on XP, don't have acceleration, so that leaves sp1+2.
