Support,


After over a 10 year hiatus I am attempting to return to AH.  Any spare 97 AH Con t-shirts for sale? 

Kidding aside having a hard time getting the video settings correct and getting the sim to run.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  I've gotten the game to load but the resolutions are all wrong and the image is terrible.

dxdiag attached.  I've searched the forums and I am not finding anything current to assist in the setup for newer nVidia cards.
short video of issue attached.

The Fugitive and Animl have some help pages you can access on the Signature line.

I am currently using PowerSpec Gaming setup from Micro Center here in Dallas. I'm running an Intel Core i7 with an Nvidia 4070ti. Works great with the game, I also use it with VR. No special setting on my part, everything is just like it was out of the box. So far my system can get up to 273 fps in game.

Welcome back to the game, been some changes since  you were last here, lots of new maps. Hitech is doing some updates on various areas of the game. Who knows, we might even see some new planes or gv's down the road.

Welcome back, yes updates to the game are rolling

I'm running Nvidia 3060ti, game runs like melted butter, you should be fine.

Unless I misread something, DX shows you have Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics - onboard (integrated) GPU
If so AND using Nvidia 3080ti, is that Intel Iris GPU disabled in BIOS?
If using both cards see if you can disable the onboard GPU in the BIOS, avoid conflict.

IMO best place to start is make sure resolutions matches through and through.
It has the impression it's not, and maybe likely the difference is in game Video Settings.

Nvidia > Display Resolution > Change Resolution  and see what it's set at.

Windows 11 > Settings > Display > look for Display Resolution make sure it matches the above

Go to your monitor settings and check to make sure it matches too.

Open game, on front screen is Video Settings make sure it also matches Nvidia resolution

Some of these settings are automated, but just confirm.

Looks to me like you have the game resolution set wrong. Your Nvidia popup even points you to it.

Start the game, click on "Video Settings".

When that opens click on the "Nvidia 3060ti" in the top box. This will tell the game to use this video card to run.

Next in the drop down box below that find the resolution your desktop is set to, or something close, and select that for the game resolution. Yours is 3840x2160

The game should tell you the game needs to restart, click out and restart the game.

DOuble check the other setting Animl mentioned and do check his site for more technical info.

Welcome back !  <S>

All,


Appreciate the help!  I tried all things and am not able to get there.  I got closer but the game will not accept the video settings I apply to the video card.  It will restart then reset the display back to 640x480 for the nvidia card.  The intel card which appears is not used.   No matter what resolution I set the display to in video settings and sync with the card and windows it defaults back to 640x480.

I am giving up on making the Alienware Laptop work. New Ryzen 7  9800X3D / 5080 / 64 Mem Cleared customs here in Thailand yesterday and my TM TPR Pedals arrived yesterday to go with my TM HOTAS Warthog.  I am just delayed not dissuaded!

Thank you again all!   "I shall return!"  Soon!

Its odd that your laptop has that kind of resolution. Are you using a monitor with the laptop?

I play on an Alienware Aurora R7 it’s a desktop, but you should be OK. I feel like whatever you’re using should be fine. Obviously, there’s more technical people in here than me, but I bet you could work this out with ChatGPT and the crew in here.

Appreciate the insight.  I use the Laptop for other purposes and I am sure it can be solved but honestly the new CPU arrives in the coming days and the effort will be best spent there.

Try setting the in game resolutions at 2560 × 1440 or 1920x1080. The 4K might be throwing it off.
