fs9 Aircraft Display Issue

[kstlmike]

Hello, my first post here, hope this is the right place.

Have a 2 month old emachine t3656 running Vista/Basic.

Installed my fs9, and when I select an aircraft the screen goes blank for a second.

Then the selected aircraft appears in the rotating display view, but the image of the aircraft seems darkened.

During flights, if I select "Tower" or "Spot" views, the aircraft's display image is always the same in appearance from all angles regardless of the sun's position to the plane.

This occurs regardless if the plane is an fs9 original or an add-on aircraft.

I have tried reinstalling the fs9, but still get the same results.

Any ideas?............thanks, Mike

The first thing I tell people using Vista is switch to the Classic View (theme) and see if it still happens.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
