no 3D acceleration?

[jettesides420]

My PC can handle 3D acceleration, yet there is no way to accept it? Its there, as an option, but its greyed out and i cant say "yes". lol.

I don't think so. This game and F-22 Raptor was the latest Games for Voodo (3DFX) Grap. I bought me 1997 the First Riva TNT Card, Elsa Erazor :) and hate Voddo all Time, i see i cant Play 3d with TNT Card i delete the Game :)

[[A-c-A] CODY]

No, it must be an Nvidia Riva TNT 2. See above what i think about 3 DFX ^^ but for 99% of old Games your Matrox is fine, you dosent have a VOODO Card. Play the Game in Software mode, is not much difference and the Game makes fun.

Here a Post from 1998 "Matrox has a fairly new GL driver called Turbo GL for the G-400 & it ROCKS!"

So you can enjoy a lot of old games, i wich i had an old PC with an Matrox, old Games rocks^^

You can emulate with this glide wrapper - and also jacks up the resolution as high as you like. Works fine for me at 1920x1080.

after n glide i can enable 3D at options, but now i get error before actual graphics should show up. Please help if you can.

Now it works with 3D. I dont know what did resolve the issue. Maybe just restart. I works with nglide. I got resolution to 1680x1050

I recommend dgvoodoo for all 3 novalogic flight sims. nglide works too but is much less configurable. Just extract all files into the root directory and copy glide2x.dll and ddraw.dll into the root directory. Run the setup and you can force AA and any resolution you want. You will need to choose voodoo as the graphic card to emulate and voodoo2 has more RAM and forces the z buffer at 1024x768 which I get missing control tower and planes on the runway.

If you choose voodoo and 4mb texture memory you will get 1024 without the z buffer and looks great. Same setup for all 3 of the flight sims. Comanche 4 doesnt use glide. It uses DX8 and doesnt need a wrapper.

Ty, Sounds great.

Do you mean root as f16 root folder? I screw up maybe. I first ran dgwoodoo setup at my download folder. Then I Moved it from my download folder to F16 root folder. Then I copied all glide dll files and DDrav.dll to root. In game, 3d enabled and then I see only black and little only little bit of that fighter model.

I went to F16.ini and changed somethind 3dhwglide.dll to glide2x.dll. Then in game options there were not 3d option. In game there was just sowtware graphs

Sorry to zombify this discussion. While the dgvoodoo and nglide are good workarounds, I still have the 3d acceleration patches from novalogic, and I still could find those patches available at the official site. Maybe Novalogic could backport the patches to equalize the game version in and out of Steam. The patches install on Steam but then install DRM that ask for a proper CD to play.

What I wish the most for F16 and F22 is to get possibility to set longer draw distance. I did read the manual and found out how fun it was to lock manually a ground target using fighter's ground vise looking camera. The only downside was a very short draw radius. When you see and lock the target there is not much time till you have to drop bomps. I wish someone could find the right value from game active memory. I have tried to fork it out with cheating engine but no luck. By that way In Armored fist 2 I found my tanks loading time value and I frozed it when it was loaded so then I got semiautomatic tankgun. Ammo values are the most easy to find out at freeze. It was fun... Also I found a support helicopter grounded and I shot it with mg a little bit to found its health value. I frozed it and then called it to the middle dozen of T80s. It took hits all the time but it never fell. One at a time the Apache knocked all T80s. Just for fun. I have beaten the game without any twinkering.

That's what you do with Mig-29 as well. nGlide works with all of 'em. www.ambestsquad.com
