Can a mod sticky this topic?
We referr to this topic all the time

I have no problem with getting stuck.

Can we get the Admin to turn this into a sticky thread?

Hi all. Decided yesterday to see if could get some of my old favorites to work, and thanks to some help I found in this forum I was able to do so.

LB2 is working and it's great to be flying this old classic once again.


The black cockpit mentioned above for the Kiowa, I'm getting it in the Apache. Turning FSAA off cures it. I'm using zeck's wrapper with a 9700 Pro, Cat 5.9 and XP Pro. Any suggestions for using FSAA without the black 'pit?


While I was at it I decided to see how F-15 runs these days. No problem so far!

Hate to burst your bubble, but both sims start crashing after few missions. In XP Longbow 2 worked fine for 3-4 mission, then after quitting the mission it always crashed.

F-15 crashes early in the campaigns. It's a XP bug. There are no good ways of getting around that. Some people modify the missions themselves, but I didn't want to get on that road.

Thanks, I see how you got your handle. You may be right, but I'm not giving up so easily.

Anyone have any tips for my black cockpit issue?

i had an issue because i did not have both the global and the glide windows set for "32bit".
the global window defaulted at 16 bit and caused apache cockpit problems. good luck and regards

Good input Inspector

I wonder if thats whats wrong with the WinME install that Im helping someone with.

No offense, but some extensive troubleshooting may solve that issue.
My last LB2-marathon lasted 7 hours (around 10-12 missions) and did'nt crash once.
All I'm saying is that LB2 is stable enough for me, which is more than I can say for newer games like LOMAC (Yes, I know that was a bad example hehe that unstable PITA).

@DBond:
I recommend you try DGVoodoo 1.40+
Everyone, it seems this is a new re-release. I'm going to see if it has fixed the jumping shadows when I get back home tomorrow (going to a IBM server-update-course/party with free drinks now).
DGvoodoo site is located here .

Thanks, I'll try the DGV wrapper and see how it goes. If I configure that wrapper, will it override the other wrapper I've set up, or will the other need to be reinstalled?

Don't want to jinx myself, but I flew 7 straight campaign missions last night with no trouble.
