After reading this topic, I just got F-15 working perfectly under Win7 64 with ddwrapper, movies removed and nGlide. I had no need to add the game to Steam.

My computer is an Asus laptop, spec is as follow:
Intel i5-2410M
Windows 7 64bit with DirectX 11.0
4.0 RAM
nVidia GT540M with Optimus (selected to run F-15).

This is amazing, thanks !!

Deleting the F-15 shortcut makes no difference for me in improving the menus. Seems like it must be some kind of buffer refresh or swap thing.

This fixed my menus:

http://www.zeus-software.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=630

I backed up the Training folder, created an empty version, and copied the training missions into Missions. I also backed up the Movies folder and created an empty version of that, just in case.

And unlike LB2 but like WWII Fighters, Janes F-15 works fine with PPJoy and GlovePIE. Bring on the Pedals, rotary trims, and nonlinear axis!

I haven't used it enough since this morning to confirm whether I have a similar issue with that or not. Was fine for a half hour or so at a time in Windows 7 64.

i started to practice a lot ( especially the annoying mavericks and paveways since its never really accurtate and the weapon page is totally uncontrolable when you select manual mode
and when it comes to paveways...its perfect as long as its a ground target but sometimes when i target a ship my bomb miss although the tracking gates are centered on the target
and the 0.67 cant even identify a scud...only shows a little square lol)

anyways...i saw someone called X-ray here that posted the same issue and made a fix EXE but it doesnt help
instead of crashing i have freezing game

I tested the X-ray's fix on XP SP3 and on Win 7 64-bit and it helped in both cases. Maybe your problem is driver related? what GFX card and drivers are you using? And what glide wrapper? Does the crash occur when you use software renderer instead of 3dfx?

Edit: The fix was oriented around not displaying some specific radio chatter or text message that caused the crash IIRC, what language have you set in game? Maybe if you using other than English, switch to it and see if it helps.

Hi guys,
After a long, long pause I decided to revive my old Jane's USAF only to find that in order to run it under W7 or W8 I need the so called "Tacklebery patch". Unfortunately all links I came accross ( here and in gulfknight forum) lead to a dead end. Any idea where I can find a working link to this blessed patch will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the file, just what was needed. Much obliged. Now I'm sort of flying in a time machine - takes me 10+ years back in time. Priceless.

Hi, Liron,

No, I've encountered no such thing. I've just read you had random crashes. Not cool sigh

I've flown long missions without any issues. I've a Seven-Win 8 dual-boot install and Jane's F-15 is running just fine.
In your case, I guess it would be useful to know on which system you're running F-15, seven or win 8 ?

Did F-15 worked fine at first, and by that I mean were you able to fly any mission without crashes ? Or did your troubles begin right away ?

Do you get a crash report when the game stops ? If so, you could send it to me so I can have a look at it (I'm not promising anything 'cause I'm no wizard, but I know my way around some code).

Don't hesitate to contact me, I'll try to help the best I can.

Over and out,

Andromedius.

What i have read is Tackleberry pulled the patches since he's comming out with a new version any day now.
He has already released IAF patch this week.

Hi Falstar, thanks for the heads up. Andromedius has sent me a version of the patch and the game is working, but seems I cant change the screen resolution . I'm trying to set it to 1920*1080 but the actual resolution is definitely not that, looks like the lowest possible, which makes the game practically unplayable. Will be waiting for the new patch, hopefully it'll solve the issue.

Hi, Brani,

Besides 1920x1080, did you try different values ( 1024x768-1280x720-1280x1024, for instance) via the 'preferences' menu, just to make sure your can't apply a different resolution ? Did you force AA via your graphic card's control panel?

I'm only asking because the first time I played USAF again, I felt the same way too, until I realized there were actually differences : the (F1) view for the 2d cockpit appears to be stretched whereas the 3d cockpit (F2) is displayed just fine. But in your case, from what I'm reading that seems quite different.

Fortunately, there's a workaround if you still can't get your game to run at 1920X1080, but it implies some tweaking ( don't worry, it's not that bad... biggrin )

Instructions go as follows :

1/ Browse to Program Files/Jane's Combat Simulations/USAF/PILOTS, open with a text editor (notepad/wordpad) your pilot file (the file should have the same name as the pilot which you use during flight).
Before going any further make a backup copy of this file.

2/ Locate the "preferences" section. There, you should find the following lines :

Record09=Cover LOD|3|0
Record10=Shadows|1|0
Record11=Width of Resolution|1024|1024
Record12=Height of Resolution|768|768
Record13=Depth of Resolution|16|16

Record14=Use Joystick|0|0
Record15=Use Throttle|0|0
Record16=Use Rudder|0|0

Edit record 11-12-13 accordingly to the resolution you want and the depth of the resolution. (32 instead of 16 - 32 standing for 32 bits, obviously.)

You should by then have this:

Record11=Width of Resolution|1920|0
Record12=Height of Resolution|1080|0
Record13=Depth of Resolution|32|0


3/ Go down to the document and delete the following line which looks like this: %sBFY (or beginning with %s and whatever follows...)

4/ Save.

5/ Restart USAF. It will probably stop with an error message saying "incorrect configuration file detected,reinstall USAF". Don't panic !

6/ Exit the game by pressing 'ok', then restart USAF and everything should be fine this time.


I hope this helps.

Over and Out,

Andromedius.

hi andromedious thank you for your reply
im running win 7 home edition 64 bit
the F15 is working properly but eventually it crashes back to desktop saying "F15 has stopped working"
without any information that i can present to you (maybe there is a debugger softwere i can use to check on info ?)
and i just discovered interesting thing when i load one of the single missions ( a specific mission from the list) the game just crashes after 3 seconds
im not sure what casues the problem but i have the same issue even with FALCON 4 BMS (which is not a 15 years old sim:P)
recently i replaced mt graphic card (from GTX 480 to GTX 760) and the guy from lab told me my hard disk is full with errors so im going to format my whole hard disk and install new win 7
so maybe the whole thing is just hard drive errors....anyway ill try it again on fresh hard drive and let you know more ( i even tried the fixed EXE that X-ray made on the forum but with no luck)

Hi, again, Liron,

Hum, sounds too me you're onto something, here. A faulty hard drive could result in crashes, specially when running sims or games. The fact, you've encountered the same troubles with Falcon 4 BMS could be proof enough.

It has also crossed my mind that your issues could be related to some defective memory sticks (RAM).
I had once this problem and the symptoms were quite similar to what you're describing : almost every game I fired up on my system crashed in a matter of minutes. I ran a diagnostic with a free software called MemTest-86 (http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/downloads/3328959/memtest-86-410/) and I discovered the root of my trouble was related to some bad RAM.
This could be an interesting area to investigate, but I don't want to give you bad advice, cause it's always delicate to give proper ones via a forum. Eventually, I'd suggest you do exactly what you mentioned in your previous post :

Get a new hard drive and do a fresh install of Win 7. If you end up with the same issue, that will probably mean the RAM in your system is defective.

But, hopefully, chances are everything will turn out just fine the moment you get a new hard drive.
Once more, don't hesitate to keep me posted,

I wish you success and happy flights with Jane's Usaf ! pilot

Over and Out,

Andromedius.
