Conclusion.
Graphics for my geforce 2 TI, did suffer a lot when flying over trees and grass towards fields and also at higher alts towards fields and over grass lands. Bump maping has a large part to play with frame rates for myself for the geforce 2 card. Though turning on Bump maping, I never get bellow 32 fps, when flying the P51D. This ennds the Benchmark test on flying the P51s and ac over Areas.

Description:
After selecting about 2 or even 1 ride. Then selecting another air craft from the hanger. Then spawning on the runway NE normaly, rendering issues of the skin of the air craft occure. This also happens with ground textures and building textures. Though this is when the memory and avialable memory in aces high decrease and the amout of memory used increases.
Solution to fix Glitch
Dont really know, but seems like some memory management and also other parts when alt tabing in and out of aces high, there seems to be a memory leak somewere.

I think the texture error is somehow related to which field you're at. I can get the 109 to appear fine and yet at another field it has most of it's skin missing.
The muzzle flashes appear to be the actual skin files on some of the aircraft - you can actually see a piccy of a plane!

Bug Report
F1Bomber 001
On my FE when I put the clipboard in the upper right hand corner as you say it works until I expand the map, then the contrast is lost again. I can drag the clipboard down and get the contrast back when the lower half of the clipboard is off the screen.

I have about 20 more bug reports, but am alittle bit un-easy about posting them, because of the same things that they basicaly come under.
Textures
Missing objects
Missing Skins
Missing CV
Strange firing effects
Textures warping
Ground textures
ect..
ect..
Was hoping if skuzzy would come in, and say a word or two. The areas that he would mostly want me to place my efforts. Also if these have been known, and are not required at this time of the beta testing.

F1Bomber, you are using a very old nvidia driver set. Have u tried with newest ones?

Guys, check the sticky, They are looking for 4 things right now,not a high level debugging. Save yourselves some greif and give them what they ask for please.

;) So what's your definition of "major rendering errors"?
I won't pretend to know myself or think everyone else sees what I see on my FE and F1Bomber is no different so ease up a bit.

F1Bomber - I have the same vid card running 30.82 drivers and I'm gerating the exact errors you've described.
System
XP
Geforece 2Ti 64MB
Intel MB
P4 2.4 intell
256mb RAM
Running 1024X768, some of these problems go away when I lower to 800X600

MotorOil could you try the following steps.
Go into aces high, click offline, click preferences, Graphics, Click resoultion and click 640*480 then restart the client.
Click Aces high 2, go into offline mode again, click spitfire, click NE then alt tab out, then alt tab back in.
On my machine this will kill the aces high 2 with an illigal operation or it would not go back into it.
I run my desktop on 1024 * 768

I'll try it tonight if I think about it. I'm running my desktop at 1024X768 also.
