Radeon 9500pro + Flight Sim 2004 = Full Screen Flickers/Flashes !!! ...
 

Hello everyone,


I just installed Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (A Century Of Flight) with
Omega Drivers Catalyst 3.7, it works perfectly alright, except in full
screen mode.

If I check "Full Screen" in the view settings, the screen flickers and
flashes everytime I right-click to get the drop-down menu or when the view
changes, for example from the menu to the flight itself, etc...

Otherwise, in non full-screen mode, but with the window maximised, there's
no problem.

Does anyone know how to fix the full screen flickering/flashing issue in
FS2004?

Thanx in advance for your help!

My system is as follows:
=================
MB = Gigabyte GA-8IK1100 (Intel i875P / ICH5 chipset)
CPU = Intel Pentium IV 2.4C (FSB 800)
DDR = A-Data 2*256Mo PC3200 (Winbond BH-5 chips) dual channel
VID = ATI Radeon 9500pro 128Mo (Omega Catalyst 3.7 drivers)
HD = Hitachi/IBM Deskstar 120Go 7200 8Mo
OS = Windows XP Pro SP1 (up to date)
PSU = Fortron 350W ATX FSP350-60PN
SND = onboard Realtek ALC655 audio chip
PCI = none installed

It is a known issue and ATI has solved it. They just haven't released the
fix yet. It's coming.

Isn't this a known issue? Did you download the PDF files with the
documentation for those drivers? It explains all the outstanding
issues, and I thought FS4 was one of them.
