Crazy Enzo,

I've found that I get in-cockpit best graphics at 800x600. For best overall graphics with 4:3, I have to set both my screen resolution as well as nglide resolution to 1200x800, select 4:3 ratio in the nglide configurator. This leaves the flaps/gear/spoiler indicators in the in-cockpit view a little blurry, but the rest of cockpit is fine, and external graphics are great. Also, this is with anti-aliasing enabled (hardware override).

Any one have any idea why pressing then releasing the shift key immediately toggles me back to in-cockpit view regardless of which view I was initially in?

Hey all,

Can someone please tell me how to enable TEWS with objects appearing as icons? I can only see aircraft, and they are marked with a number with a triangle on top. Thanks!

No idea, sorry.

Are you saying you don't see ground & missile emitters or are you saying that you don't want the simple symbology (caret, square, and diamond)? If the former, are you sure there are any and if the latter that's the Casual mode TEWS. I can't remember if there's an option the settings while in Expert mode or not.

Hi kadiir,

Yes, I meant the latter. I changed my controls to Casual in the settings, but I'm still seeing the expert TEWS?? Is there a different setting to set TEWS?

I tried every method with ddwrapper and glide but UI never were functional but with blind pushing I was able to get into seat. When I added to Steam the game the UI was almost perfect but the 3D world never were loaded.

I never had chance to try this sim... frown

Hi, molnibalage,

A lot of people managed to get Jane's F-15 up and running so chances are you could achieve the same results. Don't give up just yet. I'll try to help the best I can.

Other than running under win 7, what exactly are you specs ? It's important, cause no one has the same setup and it could help figuring out incompatibilities. Can you precisely run me through the method you followed?
Judging by the way you are describing your issue with the in-game 3D, I'll say your trouble could come from older drivers. It would really be helpful to know about the graphic card in your rig.

Regards,

Andromedius.

Try doing these steps -> LINK TO POST

This collection of fixes finally got the game running on my Win7 machine.

Hi, molnibalage,


Your system should handle jane's F-15 without a itch.

Sorry, if I'm being redundant, here, but did you update your graphic's card drivers ? During the trial and error process for fixing the game, most of the game crashes (especially while loading the 3D world) were drivers related.

Here are some other questions/suggestions :

- Do you use nglide? Make sure you don't have two glide-wrapper on your system. Nothing good ever comes from that.

- If you can access it, did you check in the game's options menu that the card driver is set to 3dfx mode ?
I suggest you add again the game via Steam, since you got some success navigating through the UI by doing so, and then check this specific menu (sorry, my menu is in french, but you shouldn't have any problem finding the right options).




- As a last resort, you can also try these ddraw tools from my dropbox public folder(they're safe, no worries) :

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14017931/w7ddpatcher.zip
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14017931/ddwrapper.zip

There's no guarantee it will fix your issues, but it's definitely worth a try. I got good results with w7ddpatcher on fixing some menu's trouble for another game (M1Tank Platoon 2). You got nothing to loose here.

Hope this helps, keep me posted.

Regards,

Andromedius.
