Default Flight Sim Jerky Video

Using MS Flight Simularot 2004.

Just switched LED monitors from a 17" 1024x2048 to a 20" 1050x1400. I'm
using an ASUS A8N-VM CSM with an Athlon 64 3800+ and 2gb PC3200 CAS2
memory. I'm using the on-board video chipset.

When using the "SPOT" view, the panning is now very jerky. I suspect that
the video chipset can't keep up with the panning.

Any suggestions?


Nope. Other than you need to go back and figure out what the actual specs
of your equipment are.

There's no such thing as an "LED" monitor (maybe you meant LCD?), and there
are no LCD monitors that have 1024x2048 resolution (a 2:1 aspect ratio). It
is also customary to list resolutions with width first, whereas you appear
to be listing the height first.

Using a video adapter on the motherboard, you're lucky you can run a flight
simulator in any sort of acceptable fashion at all. If I had to guess, I'd
say that one or the other or both resolutions you state are incorrect, and
that you *actually* went from a lower resolution to a higher one, and that's
resulted in decreased performance, including frame rate stutter.
