Author Topic: Jitter (Read 359 times)

Just got my new game system up (the one that will eventually reside in my cockpit). Unfortunatly when my IAS gets to 50 mph or so I get all kinds of jitter in the cockpit graphics, and the clipboard if it's up. Gets to the point where the sight jitters as well.

While this may realistically simulate the vibration of a piston powered aircraft, I find it disconcerting. Any ideas?

P4 2.6G
1.25G RAM
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
Catalyst vid drivers (3.0a I believe...whatever the lastest is)
Win2k Pro

Try selecting "video" from the Aces High main menu and turn on the frame rate limiter at 60 fps.

That might fix it.

Are you running Windows XP?

If yes, are you trying to run Aces High under a "user" account on your system?

I had a similar problem some time ago which turned out to be joystick drivers of all things. Probably not you problem but thought it worth mentioning incase you have changed joysticks as well.

The symptoms were cockpit shake but the outside scenery stayed smooth a bit like you get around compression in some planes.

I see you are running Win 2K Pro.

All I can offer is that Aces High does not like to be run under a user account. The one way around this in a user account is to right click on the exe and select "Run As"......then tell it to run under administration mode.

Hope that helps

I had this problem too ... It was the result of me jerkin' around with the monitor refresh rate settings. I believe that you have yours set too high. Try setting to a lower rate and see what happens.

Interestingly enough, without changing ANYTHING it seems to have gone away. I was up last night with no problems at all...and I hadn't done anything to the machine.

I'm wondering if I should take off the anti-aliasing though. Got in a huge furball around the Knit HQ field and my frame rates were down into the 40s and 50s. Considering how much power the system has that seems low.
