Malcolm Corbett 913242 Posted April 28, 2007 at 09:39 PM Posted April 28, 2007 at 09:39 PM Hi. has anyone had problems with the views on FS9 with Vista. Just got a new PC with Vista and installed FS9. When I change views the sound file changes but the view doesn't. The only view I can change is top-down! System is Vista Home Premium, GE Force 7600 GT graphics etc. I've downloaded the latest Nvidea drivers. ANy suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Karn 850752 Posted April 28, 2007 at 11:26 PM Posted April 28, 2007 at 11:26 PM Yep, right click the shortcut to FS9.exe and select Properties > Compatibility > under Settings check "Disable desktop composition". In Vista with Aero enabled, the desktop is fighting FS9 for control of the videocard. Using the instructions above will solve the battle.

Thanks Mark Cheers, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want or need to turn off Aero, except for the FS9 incompatibility, so your suggestion is just what I was looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
