But interesting is the adobe files in the mission builder version. Its containing a lot of info regarding WW1 aviation and history, if they included them.

Dart Just upgraded from intern SimHQ Lifer Registered: 09/02/01 Posts: 12436 Loc: Alabaster, AL USA	He's referring to the Glide wrappers I mentioned, not the sim, Colonel! RB3D used Glide for 3D acceleration, which of course went the way of the Voodoo Card Dodo Bird. Call it a betamax moment for the developers when they selected it instead of OpenGL. The problem is that for a fully XP/Vista compatable version I'd think that they should have included a wrapper to convert the Glide stuff to OpenGL. One of the reasons RB3D isn't on my hard drive right now is the seeming inability for me as a person to get any of them to work or, shortly after getting it to work finding out that somehow I've corrupted my drivers and now the only thing that does play on my computer without crash is RB3D! But I'm glad to see old girl back on the market. _________________________ The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

Dart, did you check this? http://www.wingsofhonour.com/redbaron3d/...ooglideemulator Even if you knew dgvoodoo wrapper before, this one is improved (the beta2). It is based on DX9, it works with new graphic cards, and that version is specially tuned for no-graphic-corruption in RB3D, which means it can use more video ram so it's fast. _________________________ ------------------------------------- RB3D tools: http://hosted.filefront.com/GabiLaser -------------------------------------

Unsavory, to say the least. _________________________ The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.
