**snake_man** · 07-13-2002, 08:03 PM

I seem to be having a problem with reflective textures in FS2002 Im running Athlon 1800XP 1.6ghz 512mb DDR PC2700ram Ge Force 4 64mb DDR MX420 with WinXP. I have every thing in the display settings set to the max and im geting a nice 40fps but im not geting any reflective textures on the water or on aircraft.I downloaded the latest drivers from the Nvidia web site but still no joy any one have any ideas on how to fix this thanks

As I said every thing is checked in the Display Options

I just removed my GF4 MX420 PCI 64MB card for the same reason. Antialiasing didn't work, either. Reinstalled my GF2MX400 64MB AGP card, because it is faster, and reflections and antialiasing workon it. Have a new GF4 Ti4200 128MB AGP card on layaway at Wally Worlds to be picked up next week. Hope I will not be disappointed with it.

You should love your 4200.

Is there a considerable difference between a GF2 Ti 64MB and the 4200 as far as FS is concerned?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jul-13-02 AT 11:46PM (EDT)[/font][p]Hi,

Be sure your in your graphics option :

For Aircraft
-Multi Texturing is Enabled.
-Aircraft Reflection is Enabled

For Water
-Multi Texturing is Enabled.
-Terrain Texture Details is Enabled
-Details & Reflection or only Details Enabled (Slider)
-Water Animation appears below 900 feet.

If you desable ONLY ONE option of these, you will NOT have Water Animation.

Thanks

don't search anymore
with all gf4MX you don't have reflective textures ,chrome effects ,water effects and mesh around airports look blurry
You have to change your card
sorry
