He uses a German Windows 10 and latest Windows Updates. Is there an issue with the German language? Or an issue with an old graphics card and new driver? Please help!

This does indeed look odd, but I don't think the Windows language or indeed the degree to which Windows is updated has something to do with it.

My own graphics card is of the same generation (GTX 960), and I did not have any issues with P3D v. 4 up until and including v. 4.5 HF3, also with the most recent nVidia driver.

However, I can't test it at the moment, because about a week ago I had a severe Windows issue forcing a total re-install of Windows. In a couple of days I should be able to test again with v. 4.5 HF3.

In the mean time, what precise P3D v. 4 is this, and does your friend have any add-ons installed that might affect this?
