CFS2 and Matrox Marvel g400

[stevenscott]

i just got CFS2 and it seems to play good, though at one point while I was flying hard and shooting, the frames came down to a crawl. I have only played for about 1/2 hour and have not done much of anything to develop any real opinions yet. Anyone else?

Help! CFS2 (MS Combat Flight Sim II) and my Marvel G400, I went on a mission and there is severe Tiling! Very bad ! The terrain, Ocean, islands, and everything is totally unrecognizable!! Drivers are the 5.55, and of course, I have the latest video tools 1.54, to go with those drivers, but do not matter for gaming applications. (as far as I know). It is really bad ! Anyone else, any opinions. I do not have my setting cranked all the way up, my game dispaly settings are Tri-linear filerting, mip mapping, anti-alias. More image display settings are at 1024X768X16, Aircraft shadows, Ground screnery shadowing, Detail texturing, High detail virtual cockpit. If I turn some of these off, the tiling still occurs. Will new drivers fix these problems? I have complained to Matrox about having problems starting the flight sim Falcon 4, but it only has problems with the actual starting menu of the game. CFS has real bad problems in the game.
