No Aircraft showing FS 2004

Clean out the old drivers and install new ones.
That may be it.

It was a clean install, no driver was installed before I loaded up.

uninstall fs204 then re-install it. Same as your graphcs card drivers

I don't understand, you have to have drivers for your video card.
Are you just using generic drivers that are on with Windows.

There are drivers loaded for my card, what I should have said was there was no other video driver loaded when I loaded my video driver this last time. Sorry

Try what I said, clean them out and load new ones.
Some of them (drivers) have had this problem before.

Because of a Norton problem, I have done a clean install of Windows XP. I loaded the video driver that came with my EVGA Nvidia 6200 A LE 256mb card. What I realize now is that driver (That came with the card) is not certified, could that be the problem? I haven't been able to fine a driver (Even on Nvidia's site) that is certified for my card. I still don't see aircraft in the "Create a Flight" window and again, if I click "Fly Now" it works fine. Is Flight Simulator picky about Antialiasing & Anisotropic settings, I can go as high as 4 & 16 respectfully. Thanks again for the tips, I know we will figure this out eventually.

Look at the list below, you should see your card listed.

Thanks for the site. I just (About an hour ago) found the 91.93WQ driver and had the same problem. I then set (In my video card settings) my A&A to application control and was able to see my aircraft again, it must be something with that? I will keep tinkering with it and see how high of detail I can reach and still have the planes showing that window. I'll post if there is anything I find that may help others. Thanks again for all the help and I'll get the newer driver from that site and see how that goes. Off to work now, thanks again

Glad you have it working, you certainly worked at it.

Well if I have my A&A on anything but "Application Control" I can't see the aircraft. I might just live with though, I just took a 737 from KNTU to KORF at 1600X1024 32bit with my A&A set to 4x and 16x and wow, How awesome does that look!!! I'll keep messing with it but It won't kill me. LOL I guess I'll have to buy a new computer soon and get MS Flight Sim. X
Well, I think I'll fly a bit and mess with it later.
