Some aircraft, as the ones cited above, will be very glitchy when playing full screen, they freeze in 640x320 or make the screen start blinking. They stabilize for a while then start to glitch again when I open any menu (e.g. Fuel and payload, map, route manager). I guess that's something about planes made for an older version, although it's just a theory of mine. Please help, I wanna fly the 752 :(

Probably very low powered graphics card running out of resources.

Posting your computer and graphic s card specs might be of help.

Where did you get the 172p ?, we have had same screen size problem with 172P. Try this from https://github.com/c172p-team/c172p-detailed and report if works, please.

We had same problem with 757-200. If I recall correctly we solve it on this fashion.

Navigate to your FG/data/aircraft place. Open 757-200/System file instrumentation.xml with a code/text editor go to the code line 152

You'll find

<!-- Use this to open a commentary tag warping around this code, where there are radar and navigation-display, we opt to comment both, but you can try commenting each one

<radar>
<name>wxradar</name>
<number>0</number>
</radar>
<navigation-display>
<name>nd</name>
<number>0</number>
<symbols include="nav-display.xml"/>
</navigation-display>

--> Close the comment tag, so the code within those tags will be not executed.

Save file, open FG with 757 and try out.


Code: Select all
<!--

  </radar>
 <navigation-display>
   <name>nd</name>
   <number>0</number>
   <symbols include="nav-display.xml"/>
 </navigation-display>
