OT: any combat flight simmers here?

Is Europeon Air war d3d compatible...I seem to remember it was a 3dfx only title...Anyone know for sure? dave henrie

Dave this is from the original non patched readme. "3D Accelerator support is provided through both D3D and 3DFX modes" Mitch BTW have you tried IL2?

Yes it is Dave, though the briefings will be messed up, iirc, been awhile. But the gameplay itself is ok.

Btw Dave, if you don't know it already, the game comes in 640/480 by default. However, you can change it to whatever res you want, in it's .ini file.

I know it doesn't answer your question, but if you haven't tried it, check out IL-2 Sturmovik, probably one of the best out there right now.... -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:s59a9.169829$983.253954@rwcrnsc53... > Is Europeon Air war d3d compatible...I seem to remember it was a 3dfx > only title...Anyone know for sure? > > dave henrie > >

Steve, if you like jets at all, the developer recently released a new sim called "Strike Fighters - Project One". I haven't had much time to play it, but it seems to do a nice job of modelling F-4's and really glitchy guided missiles (was re: woops my missile somehow locked onto a friendly). Project One is set in Vietnam-era, and apparently the goal is for it to be a completely extensible sim a'la racing legends.

My fav modern-era jet sim was F-15 (earlier fav: Microprose's F-14 Fleet Defender). Project 1 sounds worth a try. "jason moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Well, the first installment isn't modern, per se. The user controlled planes are the F-100, A-4, F-104, and F-4. Unfortunately it does not currently allow the user to fly the russian planes, altho I believe that is going to be added via a patch. The weapons technology is modelled very well as I said before, guided missiles very rarely if ever hit their targets so most dogfights end up being the typical low altitude turning gun battles. A lot of fun, and developed by the guy who did EAW. Jason On Tue, 27 Aug 2002 00:51:17 GMT, "Steve Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote:

By "modern-era" I meant jets, but to parse it more clearly, it suppose it should have to do with UHF radar and guided missiles. The Phantom neatly straddled the transition...even if they did have to retrofit guns after Randy Cunningham and others complained.
