Hello,
I recently traded in my xp machine for one running Windows 8. When I load AF I get the same display problems others have mentioned, weird lines shooting from my HUD and flashing of the landscape.
Scrolling the forums, I see folks have managed to solve the problem, but I haven't been able to figure out how they've done it.
I've tried reloading AF to a different place on my harddrive with no luck. Patching it up to 10.13 didn't help either.
I've tried various permutations of video settings with no lucl. I do know that my onboard graphics card doesn't support antialiasing. Could that be the issue?

I can get BMS to work, but I like AF as I understand the keyboard layout better

My machine is a Gateway with an intel core i5-440 CPU @ 3.1o ghz. Running windows 8.1
It's got an Intel HD Graphics 4600 onboard video chip (which I suspect is the problem, as much as I'd love to blame this on Windows 8).
It seems my drivers are up-to0-date.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Intel HD graphics!! - yes could be that - although would be interesting to know if anyone else has bothered with AF on win8. It did work on win7 with a few tweaks - Don't use HAL T&L in game settings for one.

If BMS works then go with that - seriously

+1 to BMS. No need to "understand the keyboard layout".... in BMS, if you see a switch/knob, you can operate it (well, the ones they modeled, at least!) so less "memorizing of finger acrobatics" and more of simply flying the jet.

Change to "keystrokes" file in UI and your keyboard layout will be almost exactly like AF. You can print the PDF of the keyboard layout from the Docs. folder.
