Atomic Systems

I am not sure what is the exact problem with flicker of my Train Simulator on my monitor? Here is what the program of Microsoft Train Simulator start with upload -- everything is fine like normal but by the time you're in Route and Activity Selection to choose the route and activity then there is a flickering on the monitor screen. After I chose the route and activity -- the flickering goes away. Then everything is normal again except with that part -- a minor problem. Anyway I have PowerColor ATI 9250 with 128MB graphic card in my computer with PIII 800 MHz with 2 x 512MB SDRAM memory in it and at last with the operating system of Windows XP SP-2. Before I forget that my program of Microsoft Train Simulator is updated with ver 1.2.

I am not sure if I need to worry about this or just leave it because it's not a major problem. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

If this flicker is just at like the top edge of the screen or something similar I'd just ignore it, mine does it. I suspect its a graphics card driver issue or something.

Thanks for your message that you posted through this forum. Maybe I should update the driver for my graphic card to see if the flicker go away. Will post this after the update of the driver for my graphic card.

Thank you

Hi
Mine does this sometimes...I think it is a DirectX fault.
However I just close MSTS....and restart again and its fine.
If I continue I seem to loose a good 10 FPS .
My PC only gets Rebooted once in a while....and it often occurs after a soft reboot ( It never gets a Hard ReBoot BTW).
No answers I'm afraid...just some information...hopefully of some use.
PS I'm still on DirectX9a
Cheers

I have the same experience with you had. When I restarted the computer and the flickering did go away. I wonder if we should upgrade or replace the DirectX program to see if that will help us down the road. I am not sure what mine is in the computer. I have to wait till in the morning when I get home from work to check it out. I believe that I have DirectX9a in my computer.

Thank you
