except if you use a wrapper printscreen works
v3 + above printscreen should work also

ps: here the only thing it puts in the reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Digital Integration\Hind]
"Location"="C:\\DI\\HIND"

Cheers, I'll enter the registry details manually and give it a try later.

I get this when I make a screenie (software) \:\(

Is this due to the 8bit colors in the game?

It crashes when you try software mode?
Strange, with compatible settings it should run fine.
Or did it crash when you tried a screenshot?
It crashed for me, too. You can see the "shadow" of the error report in the centre of my screenie \:\)

I have just picked up Hind on ebay for 5p! lol. Just arrived this morning and I opened the box to find Apache and F-16 in there as well! Bargain.

Anyway, it's the FLF version which already 3DFX ready and I am running using the Zeckensack wrapper but I am getting horrendous FPS. It's really bad around building and vehicles, especially airbases and gets better out where nothing is.

How should I be setting the settings for a decent running game?

Thanks

Seems it the visual range setting. You cannot change this throught the preferences menu only in game by pressing ALT 1-9, 1 being the lowest. I can run it succesfully now at about 7-8.

Thought I would just post this incase anyone else is having this problem running it as 3DFX through a wrapper.
