Any of you guys installed Direct X 8.1 as prompted by the sim installer?
I choose to remain with good old Direct X 8.0a and the sim seems to work
fine (in Open GL).

Here's an excerpt from the readme file:
"* NOTE: The OpenGL renderer is unsupported and may not work on all
cards and/or system configurations. Leaving the game's "Show
Intro/Exit Sequences" option enabled may help eliminate some
initialization problems on subsequent game launches. If you continue
to experience problems using the OpenGL renderer it is recommended that
you instead use the game's default Direct3D renderer. "

Which one is faster? OpenGL was better with N4. Is that still the case?

I have a P3 550 w/128M RAM, and a Viper 770 32MB video
card. (I am in the process of upgrading to a 1.2G Celeron
from powerleap.com, and another 128M of RAM.)
I was wondering if N4 has DirectX 7.1 on it.
Was that the previous DirectX release before 8?
Has anyone ever gone back from DirectX 8.1
to DirectX 7.1? If so how did you do it?
That release seemed very stable on my system.
Thanks

lower fps with a more
Not necessarily. A more efficient graphics engine can make a big difference
to frame rate, more detailed or not.
