Subject: [Flightgear-users] No graphics after motherboard swap - Win98


Hi all,

Having obtained a new [for me] motherboard recently (HP VL400 733MHz), I found that I 
had to completely re-install windows for it to recognise the on-board soundcard. On 
completion of this, I installed my Herules 3D graphics card and DirectX 8  <--- could 
this be a problem?

After installing flightgear 0.9.3 (which worked fine on the old system, with the above 
graphics card), I select the default runway and plane and keyboard input. The 
flightgear display window pops up and I can hear the audio, but there are no graphics 
to be seen in the window - it's transparent enabling the windows beneath to be seen. 
The keyboard inputs work OK as I have hear the revs increasing and I'm pretty sure 
that I managed to take-off blind ;-)

There is an error in the ms-dos box, which says something like unable to find 
objects.txt (or something like this - I didn't make a note last night as it was very 
late -1am), so I guess that this is related. I cannot find this file, yet the same 
package was used on my original install, which was OK.

I realise that the above is all rather sketchy - I'm used after a few suggestions 
before I get home tonight to fix the issues.

Many thanks,
Mark
