Has anyone seen this before. I just built a brand new system with a Radeon HD4890. No problems in any other games. I haven't tried any advanced settings in the card interface yet. Just wondering if there's a specific solution first.

Forgive me as I don't have a working falcon PC computer right at the moment, in the Falcon Screen uncheck the 3 checkboxes in the Graphics setup. I think it's 3d Mapping, AA and AF. See if the problems goes away. I had a similiar issue (runway & taxi-ways corruption) and I uncheck the 3d mapping (can't remember the actual name).

Thanks Panther, I'll try that. I was also wondering this evening if Hi-Tiles might have something to do with it. If you're suggestions don't help I may try un-installing Hi-Tiles. I never had this problem with Nvidia cards. Just switched to Radeon and tried the latest driver but no joy.

Nope, no joy, good suggestion though. I also uninstalled Hi-Tiles but nothing there either. I posted on the Radeon forum and maybe they'll know what's up. Thanks for the info though!

Striker, you know how totally and entirely sincerely I say this, and with a pure heart: you need to get a new computer.

WinkNGrin

(or try reinstalling AF after completely nuking it and its registry entries, assuming you already first tried "dumbing down" all your graphic card settings outside the sim first, adding fancier settings one at a time. If you have not gone into your card settings at all yet, you may be suprised at what settings it defaulted to)

Try disabling Catalyst AI in CCC.

Thanks Eugene, yeah, that was going to be my next step. I have a complete backup of all the F4AF stuff so bombing it and reinstalling it isn't an issue. I was hoping there would be some setting that would fix it though and yes, I did try dumbing down all the settings in the Radeon control panel.

Vip, yeah, disabling Catalyst AI didn't have any effect. I still have the same problem.

Fixed!

It turned out to be a corrupt or incompatible driver package. I was running 8.5x which came with the original disc. I had tried a newer driver package from the ATI website but it made the problem worse. I finally ended up going to ASUS website and downloading a known good(8.60) driver and uninstalled and cleaned out the old files and did a reinstall and it works fine now.
