=== Shrinked view with light blue background === | |||
If you have your view port reduced to the bottom left corner, and the rest of the window is blue, you probably have an ATI card that needs a specific workaround, available since v2.10 of FlightGear. For most cards that need it, it is enabled automatically, but some are still not known, So please use the ''Help > About'' dialog to report the needed information on your graphics card. Meanwhile, you can solve the problem by manually enabling the hack: use | |||
--prop:/sim/ati-viewport-hack=1 | |||
from command line or set it as a property in [[FGRun]], or add the following line to the <sim></sim> section of your <tt>[[$FG_ROOT]]/preferences.xml</tt>: | |||
<ati-viewport-hack>true</ati-viewport-hack> | |||
=== Black/unreadable panel instruments === | |||
If you have this problem but the world and other models (buildings, AI planes...) look ok, it is very possible that you enabled [[Project Rembrandt|Rembrandt]] and the aircraft you're using does not support it yet. You can renounce to Rembrandt, or the aircraft, or contact the aircraft developer and report the issue, but first better posting a screenshot and asking on the forum if anybody else has the same issue with that aircraft. | |||

The free ATI drivers are subject of intensive improvement, but can still be problematic (see the pictures). Try disabling 'Use Point Sprites for Runway Lights'. (remember to close from the menu to save the setting). If the menu is unreadable, you can disable that feature in the config files [[$FG_HOME]]/autosave.xml and/or [[$FG_ROOT]]/preferences.xml: | The free ATI drivers are subject of intensive improvement, but can still be problematic (see the pictures).
