Hello! I am hoping someone will have a solution for the problem that I am having. Flight Simulator X was working fine until I installed the SU-27 model from alphasim. Now whenever I launch it, the game takes up only two thirds horizontally of the screen. The one third of the screen at the bottom becomes black and the screen is squished into the top two thirds. This is in both virtual cockpit and the camera outside the plane (both in full screen and windowed mode). However in the mode where the hud is 2D, it works fine. I have tried updating to the latest drivers for my video card, playing with resolutions, graphic settings and such.

the weirdest part is that now this happens with every plane.

My computer specs are:

Intel Pentium D 2.86GHZ
2 gigs of ram
geforce 6200se (borrows video memory from ram)

Help?

Have you checked your Screen Resolution?

Welcome to Flyaway FireX 🍻

The SU-27 from AlphaSim is FS2004(FS9) only. Some FS9 aircraft work in FSX but some don't. Remove the plane to see if everything returns to normal.

Thank you for your help! Removing the su-27 seemed to have fixed the problem. Is there any way though to make it work with FSX?

I don't know, they changed some things in FSX that are not compatible with FS9.
