Test Drive 4 with 3DFX

Hello,

I've just bought TD4 and I have to say I am greatly disapointed. I have
believed all the good comments seen on Internet and I must conclude that
the product is not so great:

- The 3DFX mode does not work without any error message, just a black
screen. But the sim continue to run in the background.
- There is no***pit mode just like those console games.

I have a P90 with 32Mb and a diamond Monster 3D which works great with
Flight Simulator 98. But I know that with TD4, the Monster 3D is driven
with Open GL and not Direct 3D.

If someone can help...

Have you got the latest GL drivers? I had to download them, 'cause I
had the same problems you did.. After installing the new set, it
worked fine.. I was still disappointed, though..
