Gunsights turn solid white and text box transparent

[Chortle]

Did a quick search but couldnt find anything (in first page anyway). Was on for some time, maybe 2 hours when the gunsight in 109F4 turned solid white, I respawned and it was ok.

Then about 1 or 2 quick sorties later, had the same problem plus text box was transparent apart from the cursor flashing. Respawned couple of times but that didnt fix it, relogging did.

Win2k, AMD 2.3Ghz, Geforce FX5600 256 Mb, and 512 Ram.

Did you see a message saying something about exceeding your video memory?

How much video memory do you guys have and what is your max texture size set to?

[Chortle]

Didn't see any message, that I'm aware of anyway.

Sitting on runway offline, Ctrl I says 262.1 M available, 65.2 M used and texture size is 512. I haven't altered that setting since the patch where it was selected for each card.

One other thing I've just remembered, I upped resolution from 1024x768 to 1280x1024 at the begining of the session where I experienced the strangeness, not sure if that maybe contributed?

vidmem 125.8m  used 66.3     (this stays pretty constant, as far as I've noticed)

default 512 texture size

1280 x 1024

slider set for max detail
3 mile distance
size set to middle slider

pretty constant 60fps

Had another session today, no problems at all

Same deal here, after about 2 hours of play...

I never saw Vid error message on mine. My gun sight area on P51-D (rectangular computer HUD area) went white right as I spawned on runway to rollout. When I went to hangar, I couldn't see any planes in the selection list (although I could click on it and something would get selected). I exited AH2, came back in and it was all cleared up.

Patch 41
ATI Radeon 9800 XT (256MB Ram)
Omega 2.5.44 drivers
1024x768
85Hz monitor
1024 texture selected

Ctrl-I showed 256MB Vid Mem and 17MB used.

I've had a similiar problem in losing textures lately.  It started off by losing the RPM indicator.  I had that for about a week then all of a sudden it came back.  Here's the kicker though, after the rpms came the texture file for the lower edges of the gunsight went away and is now transparent.
