I just rebuilt my system and want to stay with the default DirectX 7 for the moment to fly Jane's F15. For some reason with my Geforce card the sim looks almost perfect compared to 3DFX when using this version. So I reinstalled BOB and typically using DirectX 8.X, would patch, set maxframe to 40, use the default card setting and be off and running. Now I'm back in stutter hell. The only variable is the version of DirectX can any verify this may be the cause?

Thanks,
riccisj

What version of Bob? Recent BDG versions require DX81.

With which version of DX do you have the stutter?

A wrong DX version might mean that videos do not run, but should IMHO not lead to stutter.

Make sure you have the min frametime correct. Remove the bdg.txt to make sure it starts with defaults. If that does not help, set WK_LANDSCAPE to 1. Is it stuttering constantly or is it more like a severe hiccup from time to time?

Thanks for the replies. I am running BDG 095 with the 1.2 Artwork Mod. I will try and delete the bdg.txt, check the timing, and then check that WK_LANDSCAPE is set to 1. If this doesn't work I'll just put the battle on hold for 30 days while I fly hightech jets \:\) . Been meaning to get into MigAlley as well which is running fine. That should take care of my Rowan dogfighting fix!

Thanks for you help
