I did run dxdiag and DirectX 12 is installed and appears free of issues.
DirectX doesn't help you, FG is a multi-platform system and runs on OpenGL - that's what you need to test being properly supported by your driver.

wkitty42 wrote in Mon Aug 06, 2018 5:58 pm:that's the AI traffic being loaded... let's turn them off, for now... there's a few other things we can also turn off so let's do that as well just to lighten the load... add the following to the launcher's additional settings box, please...
- Code: Select all
--disable-ai-models
--disable-ai-traffic
--disable-fgcom
--disable-random-buildings
--disable-random-objects
--disable-random-vegetation
you might also want to turn off ALS in the launcher, too... then we can work with just the basic renderer IF this is video related... or we can do that with these settings like those above...
- Code: Select all
# ensure ALS is disabled
--prop:/sim/rendering/shaders/skydome=false
# ensure Rembrandt is disabled
--prop:/sim/rendering/rembrandt/enabled=false

i know i'm forgetting something else, too... i cannot remember what it is but it is, IIRC, related to disabling something in video... i've been trying to remember it since we got started on this but...
also, in the launcher, at the very top, the three dots "...", View command line... can you please copy all of that and paste it here... please wrap it in code tags...
