after lot's of trials (and errors), i'v finally suceeded in playing LB2 on my machine.

thks for all the help provided here and for the Glide wrapper (i'm using Dg)

can't believe i'm plying this old game now at 1280x1024...





ther's still some problems i must fix,
- crash during the advanced longbow training : is it only me or is it the same for everybody ?
- my HAT doesn't seem to work, i'm using an old 3D sidewinder Pro...
- sometimes, gamma seems to reset to a too much value...

anyway, thks for all ppl around here and everybody who given us the help needed to make this beautiful baby flying again.

I think the advanced longbow training crash might be your set up because I've never had any problems yet with LB2 crashing. I wonder if it's linked to your sidewinder joystick. I remember reading on here that LB2 doesn't like the old sidewinders. I haven't had to alter the in game gamma so I can't help you with that.

I use the MS SIDEWINDER FFB2 USB.
No problems.

LB2 hates Logitech Force Feedback 3Ds, but I have a SW 3D Pro, it works the same as yours, good but no HAT.

I just bought a new Saitek EVO, it has programmable software buttons, you may need to upgrade from the M$ SW if you want to use your HAT properly.
