Good to hear. I'm very glad that you asked about ddfix, though -- without that and juvat's replies, it would never have occurred to me that it was relevant to FU3!

Enabling anti-aliasing on the graphics card causes the cockpit in Flight Unlimited 3 to become black (see files "AA off.jpg" vs. "AA on.jpg" at (
https://skydrive.liv...BC8A1ADE599!210)) and some of the instruments (e.g. the inside of the Trainer's attitude indicator) disappear.
Specifically regarding the affected instruments, these areas only flicker into appearance when they're changing. So e.g. when the Trainer is in flight, the attitude indicator will be showing, but only because it is constantly flickering because it is constantly changing.
All updated patches for the game are installed. Varying AA from 2X to 16X does not resolve the issue. Geforce drivers tested with the game are v266.58, v285.62, v314.22, v320.00 and v320.18 without success.
I have used Cockpit Designer to deal with the issue of "rectangles" as mentioned above. It removes the problem, but introduces a new one by changing the 3D region such that it is looking upwards (i.e. at a higher angle than normal).
Also, using DDfix causes the game to run only in 800*600, even though ddfix.ini is edited to specify a resolution of 1024*768.
Kindly advise.
Also, let me know if you need to see additional pictures or videos.
Regards,
Omar.

The skydrive link you've posted isn't working. Perhaps you could check it?

I can't help with any of that, I'm afraid. Video card manufacturers sadly have no motivation to retain good support for the likes of FU3. However if no one here can help but you do find any solutions yourself, please do post them here in case they help anyone else?

Flight Unlimited 3 comes with publisher unsupported config file settings. Adding the line "EnablePlayerShadow" to the file flt3.cfg in the main game folder enables the player's aircraft's shadow in the game, which not only adds realism but also helps with landing as well (you can gauge your aircraft's height above the runway using the shadow).
However, the feature randomly produces an anomaly (see file "Flight Unlimited 3 Player Shadow On" at (
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=B386BBC8A1ADE599!210)). The anomaly can randomly appear in any direction (i.e. in the front, right, etc. views)
Could someone kindly advise a solution to this issue?
