Title: Patch 1 Horizon flashing
Post by: Dennis on October 21, 2003, 01:14:41 PM

I posted about this with the initial release, but haven't seen anyone else mention it, so will post again since I still have the problem.

The anomoly flashes geometric patterns continuously while in cockpit.

Well, yeah, if you turn off the feature where the artifact is occuring, (e.g. the horizon), it will indeed go away.  :rolleyes:

Thanks, Sarge, I must have missed the post(s) where the problem was acknowledged.  Just wanted to make sure HTC was aware of it or if I was the only one getting it.

The new 3.8 Drivers seem to work a lot better for AHII on my system.

Maybe work good for you?
