Can someone tell why is this happening. I can't do a flight for the longest of while because the textures would eventually stop loading on my 757. I dried 90% of the drivers out there for my video card but nothing.Please help

Used to happen to me when I ran onboard video, only that almost all my FS textures would dissappear, no only the plane's. Getting a dedicated video card fixed it.

Hmmm...i was so hoping i didn't have to buy a new card. Well i already ordered the ATI Radeon 4670 Ice cool from newegg.com. Not going for the big expensive cards, since i only run fs2004 mainly and i don't put my settings on max.Plus it's waaaaaaay better than the card i have now Nvidia 7600GT.

You mean the graphic card? If so, the card comes with a CD with the appropriate drivers. First you have to install the card into you computer first, which require you to open up you computer and insert the card into the appropriate expansion slot. Then you install the drivers from the CD...simple. Hope that answered your question.

When installing new and upgrade video drivers it is crucial to remove all remnants of past drivers. Even though you use the uninstall there are still bits and pieces that are not removed. Use a driver cleaners, like Driver Cleaner Pro (freeware) to wipe your system clean after uninstalling the video driver. Also, select your video driver carefully. The latest driver upgrade may not be the best for your card. Pays to read the user forums before making an upgrade.

Ya these things happen for many different reasons. you just have to test one thing at a time. But I think I have the solution. Go find you fs9.cfg file. it is a hidden file in your documents folder.. make sure you enable (view hidden folder and files) option. Once you have found it delete it. The reason why I say this is because adding add ons or deleting stuff from fs9 or fsx tends to add in strings that create errors. I have found that this has fixed many peoples issues with the same problem you have. Dont worry.... fs9 and fsx will replace this file with a clean new one as soon as you start the sim up. Everything should work and look fine now! Let us know and good luck!

Hey Josh, thanks for the advice. I did exactly what you said but it didn't help. On approach to Miami the problem came back, i landed and all the goodies and some of the textures on the plane didn't load. Strange thing is when i did a replay on the landing...everything loaded fine. What's causing this?

try uninstalling the paint job and re installing. Also is it a dxt3 or normal?

Well Josh i already tried re-installing the textures. That didn't work. However i did find some, not all of the textures, were 32bit.....most of the external texture of the aircraft was in 32bit format so i converted them to DXT3 using Imagetool. I would try another flight later today. I really hope this solves the problem...may god be with me...lol

Well i did several flights and noticed a reduction in the occurence but it still does happen, especially in demanding sceneries like Imagine Sim KATL. Im guessing my processor is not up for the task no more?
Here is my system specs
Pentium 4 (3.2GHz)
4GB RAM
ATI 4670
300GB Hard Drive
WIN XP Pro
Have this system for a little more than 4yrs. I've done upgrades to the RAM and Video card.
