Same as above, problem persists. Also when I use small shadow map in addition to 800x600 window no success (leaving aside the fact that Flightgear running in a window of less than a quarter of my screen isn't really thrilling...) . > You have a laptop right ?

Can't do - this is a SONY VAIO laptop, which means you don't get to set anything relevant in the BIOS unless you start hacking it. :-( Somehow I have the feeling that this isn't a memory problem though. Experimenting with Earthview, I can load a sphere textured with 5 4096x4096 and 11 2048x2048 texture sheets allright without bothering with any smart texture management in addition to a normal Flightgear scenery and it works just fine - going through the numbers, that's quite a lot of raw data to be stored somewhere. My GPU isn't exactly new, but given what cloud and weather I can run and what others get as framerates out of the same scene, it is still rather competitive and probably better than what most people in the forum run (i.e. those who don't invest in a dedicated high-end GPU). Plus, so far with one exception (landmass effect at high quality) pretty much everything so far ran just fine out of the box with very acceptable framerates. So, I have a feeling that Rembrandt might be going to leave a lot of folks with blank screens at this point. I don't want to be negative here, maybe it is a trivial problem, but this isn't really a shader which I don't really need to see, this gives me an unusuable Flightgear.
