Hello all.
Here is my problem. After my old laptop said me goodbye a week ago, I bought a new one. At first, I downloaded all the latest drivers and OS updates. Then, downloaded Orbiter 2006-P1 base package and launched it to see if everything was working well. The scenario was "Cape Canaveral" in the stock Delta Glider folder. Seconds after I faced a nightmare: internal view, 2D panel all messed up and 7fps. Switching to the 3D panel didn't worked: the panel was ok, but I got only 10 fps as peak performance. Swithing to the glass cockpit mode shot down my fps to 2 to 4. I switched to external view: same problem. Noticed also the black sky problem, resolved installing the missing dll.
Tried to disable v-sync and to lower resolution: nothing to do.
Now my question is: it isn't strange that with an old generation 512 Mb card I got up to 50 fps, and with a new 1Gb card I get this mess?
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
I hope someone can help me... I miss Orbiter!
Here are my specs:
Asus K50ID series
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T6670; RAM: 4Gb
GPU: nVidia GeForce GT 320M; VRAM: 1Gb
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
