I was updating my in game profile. I have IR5 and read that I could use the POV1 keystrokes. Starting game, wierd white, red, orange colors flahing in instrument panel and cockpit, some commands were not rcognized, and engine started and then stopped itself. It has been running very well and I am really enjoying it. I guess I need to uninstall and start over. Should I contact Steam for a new DL? Many thanks, in advance, John

Check your conf.ini file. If you run a dx10 or dx11 card, make sure this line has 1 at the end:

Render=D3D10_1

Hmm, are you really sure about this Jaws? Maybe it works on ATI cards but when I set it to "Render=D3D10_1" instead of "Render=D3D10_0" which is the "official" setting for DX10 my game runs in DirectX 9 instead of 10 (on my Nvidia GTX 580 card - checking which render is running via the LCD applet for Fraps). I guess that option is not valid (at least not for Nvidia) and the game then defaults to the lowest default setting beeing Dx9?

My average FPS on maximum "very high" settings while starting the Hurricane mission over Dover is around 35 with Render=D3D10_1 (resulting in Dx9) and around 75 with the Render=D3D10_0 (resulting in Dx10). I also get visual artifacts in Dx9 and it looks worse (naturally).

Had that last night after installing. Had mode set to faux windowed to make it easier to alt/tab out. After setting it to full screen it looked right. Hope this helps someone.

Thanks a million JG52Krupi.
I just re-installed my O.S. to get FSX on the SSD. I thought
I had broken something. I checked the F.A.Q. but did not see this tip.
