Hi,

 

I have the Graphics Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 with the latest HP graphics driver installed.  There does not seem to be any OpenGL compatibility without installing the Intel Graphics Driver (which is not advised where a computer manufacturer has installed its own machine specific driver).

 

My BaseCamp Software (for Garmin) only displays 2D maps because of the lack of support for OpenGL 1.3 and you cannot run the Flightgear Simulator which requires a 3G graphics card with OpenGL.

 

Does anyone know when HP will release an OpenGL compatible driver?

 

Many thanks for any response.

 

Tony.

Right there the Flight Smulator told you all you needed to know. iNtel HD isn't a gaming graphics chipset. It requires a Gaming laptop costing 2000US to do run the simulator that your running and your current laptop is not up to the job to run it.

BTW, Millions of folks have gone back from Win10 to their prior O/S -- something you don't hear about from MS. by WAWood but ALL to TRUE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Those that want HD Gaming should plan to invest in a Gaming Laptop to handle those requirements. Eamples GTA V or Crysis 3.
