except if you use a wrapper printscreen works v3 + above printscreen should work also ps: here the only thing it puts in the reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Digital Integration\Hind] "Location"="C:\\DI\\HIND"

It crashes when you try software mode? Strange, with compatible settings it should run fine. Or did it crash when you tried a screenshot? It crashed for me, too. You can see the "shadow" of the error report in the centre of my screenie

I have just picked up Hind on ebay for 5p! lol. Just arrived this morning and I opened the box to find Apache and F-16 in there as well! Bargain.
Anyway, it's the FLF version which already 3DFX ready and I am running using the Zeckensack wrapper but I am getting horrendous FPS. It's really bad around building and vehicles, especially airbases and gets better out where nothing is.
How should I be setting the settings for a decent running game?
Thanks

Seems it the visual range setting. You cannot change this throught the preferences menu only in game by pressing ALT 1-9, 1 being the lowest. I can run it succesfully now at about 7-8.
Thought I would just post this incase anyone else is having this problem running it as 3DFX through a wrapper.

Yes Statos, I know why. You need to move your installation to:
C:\DI\HIND
and the patcher will find it, same thing happened to me!!

Very late BUMP (closest icon to a BMP ) So, anyone have any combination of Glide Wrappers that work for HIND??? It runs fine in Software Mode but no go in 3dFx. I got a new old copy of the Hind FrontLine Fighters CD which has the software and 3dfx versions. Recluse

Yeah, I think that, sadly, this is the case. Nothing I tried with any wrapper gave me anything but a Black Screen. I even tried it on my old machine with a Voodoo 5 5500 and got the same black screen..but at least I got the spinning 3dfX logo first We also tried a Multiplayer connection using HAMACHI to emulate an IPX LAN, but the game never recognized the network. Not sure if it was a Hamachi issue, an IPX issue or just a game issue that needs further tweaking. I couldn't get the game to recognize the network even with the IPX bound to the main network card, so I suspect it is the Network parameters (Frame type, etc..) that may need tweaking to get HIND to recognize it. Any experiences in this regard would also be helpful. Recluse
