FS2004 ATI/Radeon Driver Problem

I can tell you that I'm running a Radeon 9000 on an Athlon 1.2 with 256 meg
ram and I don't have any problems with the panels. I get occasional
re-boots for some reason though. Culprit was temperature at firs but
hardware monitoring shows all temps in the normal range.

Katy:

Can you tell me why my 2D panels disappear when I turn antialiasing on?
I'm
running win98SE with an AMD 1.2ghz processor, 512 mb ram, and a radeon
9000
64mb card.

Thanks for any help.

I have got a bad dose of the Radeon problems mentioned in a lot of
posts,
the "bleeding" text, which although a pain is not the end of the world,
but
the"swimming" scenery on my machine (High end Dell, 512mb, Radeon 9700
pro
128mb) makes FS2004 almost unusable.

Some folks on Radeon drivers have posted that they just have the text
problem, otherwise everything else is fine.

Would be really useful if those that have a reasonably stable FS2004
experience, on Radeon drivers, posted their graphics settings, so
others
could try them, trial and error hasn't helped me.

fyi, Like may others I have posted the problem on ATI support pages,
but
no
response other than a system acknowledgment, makes for excellent
Customer
Service on their part.

To help with the shimmering of texture (especially bad with ATI cards)
try those settings: mipmap to 4 in FS, no anti-aliasing, autogen
scenery to medium. In the drivers properties push anisotropic
filtering to the maximum available, set anti-aliasing to a medium
setting...

I have a Radeon 9000 Pro. The MAXIMUM frame rates I get is 9fps - even
with
all settings at LOW!!!!

This is on a P4 1.7 with 1GB ram!

I'm very ****ed about this. : (


Just for fun I loaded FS2004 on a PIII 600MHz with 768MB's RAM. It has a
Radeon 7500 64MB DDR video card and gets 15fps with most settings in the
medium range :-)

Oh, forgot to add I have a 600mhz Pentium III oc to 806mhz. I still get
24fps when set at min with the Radeon 9000.
