yes FA seems much easier to get working right - i have gotten USNF97 now going nicely with dxwnd - and it seems so far if i just switch on the directx2/vsync and the wait for verticalblank it seems to be working better than using the timing settings - i have though selected cpu slow down in the …

cool - yes i decided also to go back and look at my settings and i was initially using the timing settings to get the frame rate limited and that worked before but no i have tried a setting which works better i think firstly i had to set the render mode to SDL in the directx tab, then set the ddraw …

ctd means crash to desktop regarding the progress - yes you have to look at the thread at dxwnd, there is a fix in there that stops the game crashing when you go to the settings. regarding frame rate, i never had this issue myself but others maybe, however for my own situtation i have put Narzoul's …

Janes F/A-18 is nigh impossible to get working fully right on windows 10 - the best i have come up with is to install it, install its patches and the Team Super Hornet mod and then run it through DXWnd and with some compat settings - the game will start and run but the main menu will seem …

Good News! i raised this also over at the Dxwnd forum as Gho there is extraordinary with his willingness to delve into such games and find if Dxwnd can make them playable - and although the setup menu issue is till present, the game now can run and be played and i am happy about this follow this …

i found the solution to getting the game to run with 3d acceleration again - in the cfg file for the ddwrapper, i had to make sure the fore directdraw emulation is set to '0' also it seems i dont need dxwnd for this now either thankfully - the winxp compatibility setting seems to be sufficient
