I purchased a geforce Golden Sample 5900 with 256 Ram. Now, FS shows me a black screen instead of a cockpit. In VC I can fly just normaly and also the outside views are OK. Just the cockpit is gone and that's a bit of a pain in the ass. Any solutions?

Do you have cockpit views on the standard fs9 aircraft?

Nope, that's the problem. I've got no cockpit view at all, only a black space, where the cockpit should be. The instruments are there, cause if I move the cursor over the void, the inscriptions appear and are even clickable. But if you don't see anything, it's not really manageable.

And as I said, every other view is working OK.

Are you using the GeForce detinator drivers? If so... the latest ones? It was an issue that with some drivers, the panel would not display and a blank screen would be shown. I suggest you check out this website to obtain the latest drivers for your 5900:

I have done that. The problem was, that I put my trust in the Gainward drivers, custom made for that card. With the standard Geforce drivers everything's back to normal.
