Hi, Lion, Well, that's rather odd... Does it occur with every .mmp file? I just checked the mission Builder and I have zero issue loading any mission. Did you try with this mission : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14017931/First_Night.rar? (you don't need to use the loadout .ldt file that comes with it). If you're interested, here's the DBox link to a zip archive (it's a small file indeed) including all the mission files in my 'Missions' Folder (of course tested virus-free). Unzip it, replace your own missions (make a backup before)with my files, then see if the crash still occurs : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14017931/J-F15Mission.rarI also suppose you're running the game with Nglide at 1920X1080 (with 4:3 aspect ratio selected in the Nglide Configurator)? I checked if there was a problem with FRAPS being activated at the same time but everything runs fine. Sadly, I'm at a loss here. Anyone else having this issue ? Over and Out, Andromedius.

@ Lion
The crash could be wrapper related or something totally different. I tried with another glide emulator, Zeckensack's glide wrapper, and didn't have issue with the mission builder. Don't know about the other one, dgVoodoo, though... Out of curiosity, as you're not running Nglide, which glide wrapper do you use? That could help narrow down the issue...

The only splash screen I get appears to be the default JF-15 one. And I'm using Aqrit's ddwrapper. I tossed in nglide in there to see if anything changed with the sim or mission builder, but nada.

make sure you enable the option for the 3dfx splash screen using the nGlide configurator. C:\Windows\System32\nglide_config.exe

OK, after a veerrrry long time I was ready to give F-15 another chance. In the past years I suffered from the famous menu bug as a lot of you. To my own astonishment, I simply installed F-15 from CD, applied the 1.17 patch ... and wonder what? without any further doing, it WORKS! No Steam, no ALT-Tab. It simply works. I'm running this on a Windows 8.1 64bit and an nVidia card.

Well, that's great news !!! I'm gonna have a new PC running on Windows 8 so I'll try Jane's F-15 and USAF on it. When it comes to compatibility issues with old games, one can never know. It's really the strangest thing. And a little reminder for those of you who are still running on win 7 64 bits : you don't need to use Steam to launch the game but be sure to create a shorcut from the F15.exe located in the main folder of the game (don't use the one generated by the install process). Oh, and I almost forgot : Happy Holidays to everyone !!!  Over and Out, Andromedius.

Hi, Liron.
I've tried to get Jane's IAF to work on seven and so far was able to launch the game successfully but sadly I experienced the same 'menu issue' than the one with Jane's USAF, except there's currently no fix for it.
Though it is possible to play, you unfortunately have zero access to the graphic options and you end up flying at a very low resolution (blurry visuals, faded textures and whatnot...). So for now, it's a no go but IAF engine being very close to Jane's USAF, it is possible that someone will succeed in fixing this issue. Who knows?
Regarding EF2000, I've sent you a PM. Just check your mailbox.
Over and Out,
Andromedius.

Hi, Andre, Thanks for your input and the nice words. It's really great to see people getting back to these sims ! As for your troubles with USAF, I'm gonna ask something obvious - and forgive me for doing so, but are your geforce drivers up-to-date? There have been reports of the game crashing when drivers weren't updated. Regarding your GT320 there shouldn't be any issue whatsoever, that's why I'm asking about your drivers. And did you install nglide? ( http://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide) : it emulates rather nicely a 3dfx card and there's no risk at all. It could help detecting the video card using this workaround... Other than that, for the time being, I have no clue. But don't hesitate to post, someone else will surely provide a solution. People are usually great and friendly on these boards. Over and Out, Andromedius.
