Ground looks like snow
« on: March 16, 2000, 11:30:00 PM »
I installed a new video driver to correct my FR problem and now have a new problem. After take off at about 400ft or so, the ground turns white as snow or fog. I cant see anything on the ground above 400ft. Is there a gamma slide or something that I need to adjust. I can live with 15 FPS but I gotta be able to see what Im hitting on the ground. I cant even see fields once above 400ft.

Im also having the same problem as JGRO. It wont detect my video card either. It doesnt give me any other options than the primary display driver.

I think I see the problem.  Your card only has 4 Megs of RAM.  This means that only 2 Megs are going to textures.  Usually, 1/2 of your RAM goes to textures.  With only 4 Megs, AH might be overloading your card.  Consider getting a TNT2 or Savage 4 Pro.

I have an ATI card using the Rage Pro chip as well.  Take a look at the known issues for the newest driver (5-28-99) release date.  Janes WWII fighters has an issue with snowy, white graphics as well.  You are having a driver problem, either wait for a new version, or get a different (i.e. older) driver.  Judging from the list of problems with that driver, it is TERRIBLE to put it mildly.  The version I have installed on my card doesn't have white graphics, but it does perform terribly, because it tries to render the prop.  My solution, buy a viper 770.   I ABSOLUTELY can't stand this card.

FYI: My card is an 8mb Expert@work, but they use the exact same drivers.  Here's the link to the page in question for the version you have: http://support.ati.com/drivers/3drage_pro.html

Are you using the optional high-res textures?

I too am having ATI Rage Pro difficulty.  I posted some time back.  Diamond says it is the DirectX7.0 problem.  Alas, I ended up formatting my HD to no avail. I installed the newest ATI Rage Driver-  http://support.atitech.ca/drivers/3drage_pro.html  ,  which fixed AW3, but now both AW3 and AH are fried!  I have the Monster3DII installed as well.  And I did use their new drivers. The video issue is here and in AW3 as well.  Wish I had a fix for you all.  Sadly, my ATI 4Meg card is built in, and money is an issue, since my monitor went out.
