Problem with TH2GO can you help?

I have just updated my system with a TH2GO. Works great.

However when I try to open FSInn I loose all graphics and end up with a black screen that won't refresh.

I have tried updating the drivers for my nVidia 8800GTS and also for the TH2GO with no sucess.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

Are there any suggestions as to how I can resolve my problem?

I have tried reducing the screen resolution with no luck.

Try turning off anti-aliasing on the windows video card setup and see if that corrects it.

That's a tough one.

 

I have both 8800 GTS and 3H2Go.... and only had that problem way back in the day.

I would make sure you have done a correct un-install and correct reinstall of the 8800GTS drivers (I am using 175.19).

 

Make sure you are using the current (Beta for a while now...year or so) of FSInn 1.3 and CoPilot 1.7

 

Knock those two options out and come back...

I have tried all those options. With no luck.

Someone put me onto a Windows Vista Ultimate miltiple screen hot fix how ever it seems I already have that running on my system.

I have tried running the screen resolution the same as the game resolution but that didn't work either.

At this stage I seem to be stuck with the problem and will have to keep searching the net.

Jeff, are the black portions of the screen stemming from the small FSInn windows or has the entire screen gone black.

If it's just the stemming from the windows of FSInn - it's the video driver. Be sure to use clean sweep in safe mode etc. when updating drivers in the event you didn't. A lot of people over look the importance of a correct uninstall of the previous driver (thus nothing really changes).

 

You may already know this - I am just checking.

I just experienced a fatal error on FSX. I uninstalled FSX and all [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ociated software then re-installed one at a time. Everything worked fine even GameSpy and VatSim. I went to lunch came back to fly and all turned bad again.

I noticed that in the display settings of FSX when I first installed it all the screen resolutions were available including 32/16 bit etc (this was when everything was working fine) now I only have screen resolutions available at 32bit and the resolution that I run my monitors at with the TH2GO (5040x1050x32) this is not available in the selection list. The highest I can select is 3840x1024x32.

I think this is where my problem lies.

I have FSX with the acceleration pack installed as well as Copilot and FSInn.

Which 3H2Go do you have?

 

My can only run a 3840x1024 (which is what I run at). They are just not releasing a version that will do a widescreen - you must have it.

 

How about a firmware ware update http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/support/gxm/windows/th2go/digital/howto1/

 

I see it can be done

How about this - have you run the "optimaztion" wizard of the matrox for FSX? This adds the resolutions to your FSX.cfg.

I have discovered the problem. Wooo Hooo.

Under the display settings of FSX there is an option to Preview Direct X10. If I uncheck this box all operates correctly (VatSim & GameSpy etc) as soon as I recheck that box I loose everything. But you don't loose it until you shut down FSX then restart it again.

 

As for the resolution someone sent me an e-mail on a latest update for the TH2GO and it allowed the wide screen resolutions. I will post it as soon as I find it.
