Has anybody been able to get Rowan's unique flight sim/strategy game, Air Power, to run with VESA support in DosBox? When you install part of the procedure, along with identifying your sound card, etc., is to choose the SVGA driver. Since it did not recognize my driver, it offers you the options to use a "universal" driver or to manually select from a bunch of drivers. None of these options proves fruitful with my card (ATI Radeon 256 megs).

Has anybody gotten this game to work? Thanks.

Your real card is (or should be) irrelevant for DOSBox. I think DOSBox emulates an S3 card. Try that.

Ah, that's the rub. The install program recognize's DosBox's S3 (trio, IIRC), but none of the complimentary drivers it lists support S3. Aargh! 😒

Another wild suggestion: See if you can find a little utility called UNIVBE.EXE and run it before the game installer. UNIVBE (I think) emulates some extra screen modes that just might work with that "universal" driver in the game.

The game MUST HAVE a VESA entry listed in the graphic options. Otherwise, chosing VESA will prove unuseful.

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
