Hi,
I just Installed fgsetup-1.0.0.exe win32 release version on my Windows 2K
system, and was disappointed to find an old issue with the BPP still set to 16
which on many (if not most) windows system's using an Nvidia card causes the
old bug of a blue screen and very lame response's in fps. In fact the first
time I ran fgfs.exe it gave an exception in the main loop, thankfully I am very
familiar with this bug and after changing the bpp to bpp32 the problem went
away, and it runs well.
Their are many people out there in the real world that don't know how to fix
this issue so I would hope someone please takes a note of this otherwise we
will never learn from past mistakes, perhaps some notes could be displayed
(during the fgsetup-1.0.0.exe setup process) to advise users that if they have
a blue screen how to fix this by adjusting the bpp setttings otherwise it will
only serve to harm flightgears reputation.
Thanks for your attention, Aerotro
