Crash,

What is your system configuration (most importantly, what model video card and drivers).

I have been running G2 on a 600Mhz Dell Dimension for over a year and a half with no problems. I just spent serious scratch on a new Dell Dimension 8250 with the Radeon 9700 Pro card and I'm getting the behavior you describe. That is, the sky has no texture (just flat blue) and there's a gap where it meets the far scenery. The graphics settings in G2 seem to have no affect.

The Realflight website mentions problem with the Radeon card, but they don't have good instructions on how to fix it. They just say, go the to the ATI site and download "alternate" drivers. Whatever that means. I've written to ATI (because I can't get the new drivers to install, get iKernel.exe can't load error) and GreatPlanes to get them to specify specific drivers that will work.
