Check graphics card
Yaghm,
I am pretty sure that this problem would be caused by your graphics card. Because of the 3D graphics capabilities in Flexsim, Flexsim requires a better than average graphics card. We recommend NVIDIA cards. (I use a 7600) If you are not in the market for a new card, you can try playing around with your graphics settings to see if you can get it to work with a lower graphics quality. This is done by going into your START menu/Programs/Flexsim4/Flexsim Graphics Configurator. (Have Flexsim closed) Start with High compatibility mode in the list of common configurations. If Flexsim works well in High Compatibility mode go back into these settings and try bumping stuff up until Flexsim is working with the best you can give it. Brenton Flexsim Support |

You've never mentioned the specifications of your computer and graphics card. If the problem did not go away even after changing your setting in the Flexsim Graphics Configurator to "High Compatibility", then that is very unusual and I would be interested to know what the other specifications of your computer and operating system are. It's very common to have weird graphical glitches like that due to low end graphic card exceptions, but they always go away when high compatibility is chosen (albeit the graphics look crappy at that point due to the lack of any graphic acceleration and such). Are you seeing these problems immediately after opening Flexsim and dragging out your first object, or is it occuring in an existing model because it might be due to exceptions in your model?

Do you see any differences when working in "High Compatibility" mode versus "High Quality" mode?
Have you tried updating your cpu and graphics driver from the Acer website? How about the SIS website? This is most definitely a hardware issue, so you will need to do what you can to upgrade your graphics card and/or graphics driver. Last edited by Cliff King; 03-15-2008 at 09:20 AM. |
