Hi guys,
Another AFPD quirk,
Have any of you experienced when selecting certain planes to fly they appear totally black like they havent loaded properly,
They do fly but I suspect the stick commands are not always reaching the plane as quickly as they should? [:@]

Which plane is this? Is it a stock plane or a downloaded model?

Also what type of video card are you using? Have you updated the driver for the video card?

I was helping a friend, the other day, with AFPD. He has a 2Ghz P4, 768Mb RAM, and an Nvidia 7600 AGP4 card. We edited a Stock Model, changing the CG and Control Throws. We saved it under another name. After a while, it suddenly changed to pure White. I deleted the folder in the Aircraft directory, Edited the Stock model, again, and saved it. It has not changed color since that incident.

His graphics card outputs to a Acer 22" LCD monitor, from the VGA port, and outputs to a Sony Bravia 46" HDTV via the DVI to HDMI cable and we set the Nvidia Settings to Clone. I do not know if that makes a difference.

By the way, do you get better performance with AFPD if you use a separate graphics card for each display instead of one graphics card driving two displays?

Rich,

I've have the same problem using a Dell 1.86 with 4 Gb ram and a e-G-Force 8500 GT card. Spent hours setting up the plane. Finally got it where I wanted it and the next thing I know it turns white.

Thanks guys,
My video card is Nvidia,
I had to download a new driver to get AFPD to load but is probably still my problem,
May have to get a more powerful card,
Cheers,Paul
