"I can only use 1024x768 for now"
I assume you know this already, but just in case. I had to set the res to 1024x768 in the game otherwise it would crash, but you can set the resolution you want iam73's exe to run at by editing the dd32b.ini provided. I set it to my native res of 1920x1080, and it runs great.

The meatball and tower appear to be offset from their anchor points when the views are panned around. Im able to see through some of the 3d objects on the carrier too.   ---------------------------------------------- Here's a Debug from the "Second Fly" CTD. It's a bit long, but I hope it helps.

Edit In: Replied to your message on TSH...forgot you were on there. I saw your folder on the FTP a couple days ago when I was reading through Simo's stuff. Now that I've done some testing with dropping bombs, shooting missiles, etc; I went ahead and created a 3D profile for my nVidia card. The 32-bit rendering is doing it's job, other than what I have mentioned before. BUT....I cannot fly any of the single missions without CTD. I can choose any of the missions; the screen loads with the map, pilots, and mission description. Within a few seconds, the Vista "Thinking Circle" appears and CTD. Training, Instant, and Campaign missions work though. ---------------------------------- On newer 3D cards from the GeForce4 series and up the HUD begins to take on anti-aliasing. Notice the "Negative Dashed Pitch Ladder" is still missing, along withg AA Missile Symbology.

Hi guys, Sorry for the late response, I'm on a business trip since Monday, back in a few days... Ok, one thing for sure, NVIDIA is not liking my hack. Another thing, It's not looking well either as all I have is an old GeForce3 card in a box, I might try to install it in an old P4 box I have, actually its not a box as I'm missing a case for it, so I would need to find an extra case... I'll see if I can find something. More to come soon, but as I said in the initial post, with a new baby at home and this job taking a lot of my time, I have less spare time than I have projects to work on

"More to come soon, but as I said in the initial post, with a new baby at home and this job taking a lot of my time, I have less spare time than I have projects to work on" And you're 73? You should be taking it easy at your time of life.  I have been doing some more "testing", and apart from the carrier stuff, everything has been fine. Missions of any type (including instant action) have all run as I would expect, and I have not had a single crash (apart from the second mission thing, but that's no big deal to me). I also tried DXTweaker again and I do not get the carrier meatball and tower issues with that (I don't suppose that provides any clues?). Thanks again for all your efforts, this is making this game (and my all-time favourite sim) playable again.

Just flew the 1st campaign mission again on my laptop (if you recall with Radeon graphics), and the carrier looks fine, AND on my return I came back to 3 planes parked on the deck. I'll be trying to do a mission every day or two from this point, and will only post comments if I hit any more issues.

Take your time! For the most part, you have the solution. The next step is to make sure your float point conversion is absolutely correct after converting it to Hex and changing the hex in the exe. I remember experimenting with the HUD symbology, and I was able to reposition them using floating point values. I too have a 8 month old, so I feel your pain.  Congratulations too!

Unfortunately on my GTS450 it doesn't work. Tried every resolution in graphics option screen, even changed the res in the ini file to not my monitor native (lower res of course), and every single time I have CTD after clicking on Fly (doesn't matter if Instant, Training, Single...). Also tried different compatibility modes on the exe (my OS - XP SP3), still the same issue. What's strange is that the vanilla install with the 1.01F update works pretty well, last time I tried to fly (few years back - different rig) I had problems with graphics, slowdowns with AA mode etc. Now it works just as it should.  Oh, iam73 keep up the good work and congratulations on the new member of your family - hope you will have some time to work on this mod  .
