It's nice to see another flight simmer here! 😀 Just when I thought I'm alone....

Since we're at it....

Is there any way to auto-land the F-117A with auto pilot, despite Realistic Landing? I found carrier landing is a nightmare, because unlike land-based airbases, the aircraft's landing area is not perfectly aligned with North/South direction. Since Microprose F-117A does not have rudder, I found it next to impossible to line up my aircraft with the carrier's landing area.

And no, Microprose F-117's ILS doesn't help any. 🙁

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....

Gunship 2000 seems to be the game of the month here.

It is, by coindidence. Funny, I've been looking for months in Ebay for a complete copy of Gunship 2000 (manuals, etc). And then jamon51 and Neville started a talk about the game, and voila! One copy suddenly appeared on ebay, with docs and manuals.

Just bought Archimedean Dynasty. I bought it because a) I've seen it mentioned on Vogons, and b) I think it's a voodoo game.

..and c) I get to try and upload my first photo to Vogons. 😉

(The box looks like it's seen better days!) 😵

It is, and when (or if) you successfully run the game on Voodoo5, please share the environment variables.

Actually, I never thought of trying the game on a V5. 😮 I was going to test it out on a voodoo1 card. I think this game was from 1996, and so a V1 would be the most appropriate card I think. Sorry. But if I can get it to work on a V5, I'll be sure to let you know! 😀

Got this recently -

http://www.mobygames.com/game/lara-croft-tomb … ider-collection

(tomb raider collection; 1 thru to 6)

I bought it because I believe that at least one (possibly even two) of the early games have voodoo support. Now I think I'm right in saying (correct me if I'm wrong) that the very first game could only be run on a voodoo1 (or 2?) card if the user selects voodoo as the video choice. (I haven't had a chance to install the software and test the voodoo options.)

I also got -

http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/kings-quest-collection

(king's quest collection; 1 thru to 7)

and I noticed that it uses good ol' DOSBox! 😀

I like compilations such as these two. They are a good cheap easy way to purchase lots of old software.

ahh the good old days when hardware was bundled with actual decent games (Sound Blaster Live 5.1 was the last good one)

My previous graphics card an 8600GTS was bundled with Supreme Commander. I don't play it, but the game got good reviews.

KAN, I doubt that it is possible to run it with a voodoo5. You remember my V2 problems, don't you?
But nevertheless, what about promising a reward for the first one playing the 3dfx version of Archimedean Dynasty on a V5?
(I don't think of money... but something more idealistic... a piece of hardware perhaps?)

Whoa, I have yet to decide which hardware I'm willing to part with! 🤣

What do you mean, which hardware you're willing to part with? If I manage to get AD working on a V5, I want all of your hardware, including your savings, your house, your car, and a percentage of all of your kids' income. 😜 🤣

*hugs his beloved hardware* You 'll have to pry them from my cold, dead hands.

On the brighter side, I don't have kids. 🤣
