Cat 3.9 + 9500pro + X-Plane 7.10 OpenGL corruption !!!

[markOpolis]

Hello everyone,

since I have installed Omega Drivers 2496c (official Catalyst 3.9),
I have noticed display corruption while playing X-Plane 7.1

Only the plane and the tracks are dipslayed. No scenery, nothing else.
Outside the tracks floating in the air, I can see the sea and other
non-related objects.

Anyone experiencing the same? Any idea on how to fix it???...

Thanx in advance for your help!

Mark.


PS: on the other hand, with Catalyst 3.9, MS Flight Sim 2004 now runs
perfectly without any of the flickerings introduced with Cat3.8.


My computer is as follows:

VID = ATI Radeon 9500pro 128Mo (Omega Catalyst 3.9 drivers)
HD = Hitachi/IBM Deskstar 120Go 7200 8Mo
PSU = Fortron 350W ATX FSP350-60PN
SND = onboard Realtek ALC655 audio chip
PCI = none installed
OS = Windows XP Pro SP1 (up to date)
NET = AOL 8.0
MDM = Thomson Speed Touch 330 ADSL (300.7.0.2 driver)
AVR = Norton Internet Security 2003 Pro (up to date)

Hmm...3.9 fixed the problems with Flight Sim 2004, but I guess created
problems with XPlane. If you are using XP, just roll the driver back to the
previous one that worked.

It's a crap shoot with any version of X-Plane. I have X-Plane 5.66 and
in my experience X-Plane quite often has problems with vido drivers
from any manufacturer. I upgraded from GF4 Ti4200 to 9800pro and
X-Plane had major issues. I will never buy another copy of X-Plane
again because it is clearly the work of an amateur.
