I tried these drivers out last night on F4. It seemed quite a bit faster on the framerates. I never checked before 41.09, but I tested the framerates last night. I am running the game at 1024x768x16 @ 2xFSAA. In the 2D cockpit: 37+ FPS, in the 3D cockpit: 50+ FPS, and in external view: 200 FPS!!!

I will have to test these out in Janes F-18 and see if things are better.

I tried them out on my 400MhZ P2 w/ 256MB RAM and an nVidia GeForce 3 Ti200 today. Actually gave me an option for Anti-aliasing this time around :) I've got that set at 2x, and it does look and run better, except for the tiles in the cockpit for F4. They don't quite line up, and there's single-pixel lines that line through at certain spots. I think I had this problem before and found a fix somewhere, anyone have any ideas?

Removed, Defragged HD, and reinstalled OFP tonight to try and get rid of my MP connection problem with OFP. I think I fixed the problem, :D My ping times and connections were 100% better.

Upon reinstall, I changed my graphics settings from 1024x768x16 @ 2xFSAA to 1280x1024x16 @ 2xFSAA, Viewdistance = 1235. And OMG!! OFP is absolutely beautiful at that setting! I notice so much more detail now on vehicles, units, etc.. Oh and BTW, not a single framerate slow down with the new drivers, it was very smooth the entire time I played tonight. I think these new drivers are doing wonders for my GF3 now. So far so good!

Sorry K, I have not heard of that problem with F4. Must be an advanced video card setting somewhere? If you turn off FSAA, do you still get the problem?

The problem disappears when I turn off Anti-Aliasing. I'll experiment tonight.
