Some downloads work and others don't... What are the different designers doing... I download a Cessna Cardinal... it works... I download a Cessna 414 it works but with no paint.. This happens with file after file... I have 8 gig Ram... 1T Hard Drive... etc...
If I unclick Direct x all files work and then stop working... UGH...

This should answer your question.

The only way around it is to lower or shut off some of the non essential slides.
Some aircraft are very graphic intensive and for that card to render them and have good ground graphics is too difficult.
It chooses to render the ground and not the aircraft.
Some will work, others not.
Not much you can do with an integrated card unless you have an empty slot on the motherboard for a new card to take over and do away with the integrated one.
If it's a Dell the chances are slim.

Well it looks like I need a better graphics card.. but I just don't understand why some developers planes work and others don't.. The piaggio is a huge file and it works fine with my graphics card.. There has to be something unique about some of the other creators files... Just my feeling....

Different programs are used to make an aircraft.
Some are more graphic intensive than other.
The stronger the card the easier time it has rendering it on your Sim.

You have to have an empty slot that can accept a new video card that will take over the integrated card.

Check the inside of your computer to see if you have one.
If you've never opened the computer before, don't touch anything, static electricity from your hand can burn out the computer.

But sometimes a file doesn't contain the code you need or it's getting corrupted.  And they like things a certain way.  It would be unusual but has happened.
