Thanks. I did reset the Refresh to 60 Hz to match my LCD, but I will play with the other settings.

Thanks, Lepus - in my haste to SEE the glory of 3Dfx Hind, I overlooked that tricky invisible dialog response you reminded about. Will try that this evening. Thanks again.

Now, if we could just get Hamachi to work with Hind, we'd have another retro two seater co-op MP respectable chopper sim!

Thanks for the patch.

Here is my contribution to community - no-cd for version from Lepus patch:

http://rapidshare.com/files/99904460/hind95nocd.rar.html

If someone will have a problem with the error "GLASS.CMP is missing", find this file in any *.WZ folder and copy to all over.

I finally got my Cougar + CHPRO pedals running with HIND. I think I had to pick one of the joystick selections that included a throttle. FLIGHTSTICK PRO worked for me, but other options might as well.

Lepus, would it be possible to upload your patch to a more permanent site (FileFront?)? It seems your Mediafire download link no longer works... and I REALLY wanted to try this :/ Does anyone else still have it? New link? Help please! Thanks \:\)

Hind runs well in XP, but I have not gotten the 3dFX version to work well. Some others have, but I only get it in a tiny window using a wrapper.

I have the HIND CD, but also found an abandonware DL that seems to work. We are pretty sure we can get Multiplayer going using HAMACHI and the HIND LAN option. First attempts failed, but we subsequently tweaked Hamachi to work with other games, and HIND should work.

Running the DOS version inside DOSBOX and using DOSBOX to emulate Serial/Modem or IPX over TCP/IP should also work. We have gotten this working with the old DOS F15 SE III and Falcon 3.

Thanks Recluse, I also have Hind working fairly well under XP, however this was not my question. I simply wanted to try Lepus' custom 3DFx patch for myself to see how well it works for me. I had good results with other games like Fleet Command, Longbow etc. using glide wrappers so I don't see why I couldn't get Hind to work with voodoo gfx also. So, can you please upload it somewhere (if you still have it) and provide a new link as this was my original request? Thanks once again in advance \:\)

OK. Sorry for the confusion.

Try this:

http://drop.io/hind3dfx2008

Password is "lepus" (without the quotes).

I am pretty sure this was his file. The name was HIND_3DFX_PATCH_2008.zip

I also included x-ray's NOCD patch.

Good luck!
