Help!

I really love SF:P1, but I have one problem. For some reason, the terrain directly beneath my aircraft is being rendered in a different shade than the more distant terrain. As the aircraft moves, the 'box' of greyish terrain moves with it. Anyone know what might be causing this? I don't see it in anyone elses screenshots I've seen. I have tried altering the graphics settings, but it doen't have any effect.

 

I have attatched a couple screenshots so you can see what I'm talking about.

1) Right-click on the desktop | Properties | settings

2) What's it say about the graphics card in the 'Display' listing?

 

Telling people about the graphics card and driver will give them a lot more to go on.

Maybe upgrading to directx 9.0b would help.

Is this the one you have?

If it is and you haven't added a new GFX card then I'm guessing it's an issue with the Integrated Intel 845GL chipset.

As usual, I was looking at the problem as being far more complicated than it really was. I downloaded the latest drivers for my system from Intel, and, Voila! Problem solved!

 

Heres a screenshot of my Tiawanese F-86F over the beautiful Taiwan terrain by USAFTML and Wolf257 that I downloaded recently.
