I have trouble running this game on my voodoo banshee. I believe its because of the opengl drivers.

Does anyone know which drivers must be installed on the Banshee to play this game?


Also, is there another way (other than using the arrow keys) to move your head around the cockpit, eg by using a mouse? I dont have a hat on my joystick.

I need to know these things before I buy this game. Please help me!!!

Well, I have had no trouble with my Banshee, but thaat may change when my computer comes back from teh shop. As for moving in the cockpit....teh keypad is the only way I know of, and since my stick HAS a hat switch, I can tell you taht the Hat moves the target reticule around teh HUD, not your head in teh cockpit

What drivers (exactly what files) do you have installed. Where can I download it? And do those same drivers work with Janes FA-18? I can never seem to get Janes and F2 (demo) to work with the same drivers.

From the 2.03 patch onwards, Flanker 2 allows you to select the mouse to control cockpit/view panning, look in the 'controls' section in the Options screen.

Neptune,

Ozias is correct about using the mouse to pan the views around. I've tried it, even though I've got 3 hat switches on my joystick.
There's a couple of reasons why this might give you problems.
1. If you are flying stick with your right hand, and moving the mouse with your left, then that doesn't leave anything else to work the keyboard keys. And you are going to be working those keyboard keys unless you've got a HOTAS, or Quickshot, etc... Plus, working a mouse left-handed isn't natural for a right-hander, so this requires lots of practice IMHO. If you're flying left-handed and using the mouse with your right, then it will be much easier.
And since your stick doesn't have a hat, it probably doesn't have a bunch of extra buttons to assign to keyboard commands, then you're going to want to assign the shift, alt,and ctrl keys in Flanker to help you work various controls, and if all of your hands are busy with stick and mouse, it's going to be really hard keeping anything under control.
Flanker's radars are mostly manual. You really need a stick with at least one hat to be able to slew the targeting cursor, and the radar scan cone around. If you only have one hat, this can work for views, TDC cursor, and/or radar scan cone, by assigning these functions to the hat by use of the shift, alt, and ctrl keys.
If I didn't have a hat switch, and I really wanted to fly and fight, I'd stay with stick and keyboard. At least this way my hand would already be over on the keyboard and I wouldn't be moving from mouse to keyboard and back.
