Let me know which operating system you have, and I can help you find out. The information is in different places, depending on your version of Windows.

taken that we're talking a windows pc, the easiest way to find out would be to run dxdiag via start -> run -> type "dxdiag" and hit enter (XP) or start -> type "dxdiag" into the searchbox and run the exe that pops up as a result (vista, 7)
it gives a window with pretty much everything performance related, and on the 2nd tab (display) it gives info on both the graphics card itself aswell as the current drivers installed.

There is no "Run" option from the start menu. The closest is "Search programs and files" at the very bottom. My operating system is Windows 7 on a Gateway CPU.

hm maybe I was a little confusing in showing the way... again the related part

[...]start -> type "dxdiag" into the searchbox and run the exe that pops up as a result (vista, 7) [...]

so you click on the start menu icon on the lower left and the whole menu pops up, right above the start menu icon should be a text field in which you type "dxdiag" (without quotes of course) and it should come as a search result... just hit enter and it should start, or click on the search result.

if this doesnt work for whatever reason, hit the combination "windows-key + r " which should give you the oldfashioned run option like it was under XP... same here, type "dxdiag" and hit enter

Right, as GMT pointed out this is where you can type "dxdiag", and on Windows 7 you'll need to double-click dxdiag.exe in the search results. Then, press the third tab to bring up the Display screen (this example is from my laptop):




The left-hand group gives the hardware information... and the right side shows the active software driver.

My laptop has integrated video (not a video card), but it's able to run SC4 in hardware mode due to good memory and CPU power. Point being, SC4 can be done without a video card, but only if other parts of the computer are helping to share the load.

First are the system specifications...


And here are the display specifications...

ok so you're playing on intel integrated chipsets.
so you're suspicion was sort of right, you don't have a graphics card in common sense, but a graphics chip.
with WAY OUTDATED drivers; almost 2 years old, timestamped august 2010
if I am not mistaken, this should be the most recent drivers for your setup:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20601&keyword=%22g45%22&lang=eng
please doublecheck this before installing, I'm not that familiar with intel graphics accelerators, therefore can't say for sure if this is it

EDIT: I recommend you give the automatic detection a try to make sure you get the correct one http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu

[Voltaire]

^^ Updating the drivers is always a good idea, try that first.

Based on those screenshots, the compute power of your hardware isn't the issue... in fact your chipset is the same Intel Series 4 as my laptop. And your CPU and RAM are more than adequate too.

Looking around the threads here, seems there are many folks talking about Windows 7. Among those threads, the most common suggestions for improving how SC4 runs on 64-bit Windows 7:
   - run SC4 under "XP Mode" or "Compatibility Mode"
   - force SC4 to use a single core of the CPU

This thread sounds full of potential solutions to try.

I don't have Windows 7 myself, so unfortunately that's as far as I can help.

Well, I have tried running the update and restarting the computer. Unfortunately, the glitch persists. So I am now going to look at some of Voltaire's suggestions.

EDIT: Running in compatibility mode did not solve the issue either...


How am I able to force SC4 to run on a single core?

Your catalog list is missing the CRJ jets on modular lots that came as part of the ACB VLT Terminals and Jets Series 1 Part 1 release.

After seeing a nice looking Delta CRJ-900 on the pre-fab that wasn't lotted I started looking for what else still wasn't lotted, then realizing according to the catalog there should only be 2 ACTeam CRJ lots, and the 'that can't be right' feeling kicked in.

[Voltaire]

Not sure what you mean, there are a total of 10 CRJ lots in the catalog, mostly from Series 1. The latest two CRJ-900's are also lotted. For example, the CRJ-200 listing (the CRJ-700 and -900 listings follow the same pattern):

Bombardier CRJ-200 v2.0 on modular Lots, August 2007           <<<< lotted release (ACB VLT Terminals & Jets Series 1) dependency re-release, December 2008      <<<< non-lotted re-release of same SC4MODEL's (AC MEGA Props Vol02) J-Air (JAL) Pinnacle (Northwest, silver)     v2.7 dependency release, December 2008           <<<< specialized renders for prefabs (AC MEGA Props Vol04) Air Wisconsin (US Airways, white) ASA (Delta) Chautauqua (Continental) SkyWest (Midwest) Pinnacle (Northwest, 1990s)

Am I missing something or isn't there a diagonal taxiway deadend piece? like the end corner piece for straights, just diagonal?

edit: nvm, one can improvise with 1x1 diagonal fillers

[Voltaire]

If memory serves, it can be built from diagonal large wedges, the same large wedge used to build straight sections, but set back-to-back.

[GMT]

jup just how I solved it...

[nycsc4]

Hey guys, had a quick question for you.

Is there some sort of jetway extender or actual jetway that fits these pieces?

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/198/screenshot20130424at845.png/

I feel like there has to be something out there to solve this!

Thanks!

[Voltaire]

I remember SCAG made a 1x1 piece filling that role, but not sure of which release. The purpose of the extender was to carry jetbridges over airport roads -- perhaps it was in the TMIP set?

[RepublicMaster]

There is a bridge in the ARIP. But some SCAG 777s have longer airbridges that overhang the lot.
