Nope. Full-sized airplanes. Also, I'm not sure if the game featured any dogfighting at all. I think it only focused on stunts and maneuvers.
Re: Wine - Old Windows Games Compatibility?
Posted on 2014-08-21, 12:21
I'm just getting tired with having to muster up workarounds and hacks for every single old game I pick up lately to get it to work with Windows 7. Case in point: Ignition at first crashed when started and when I fixed that, there's no CD music. Now take a look at wine compatibility report of that …
Re: TIE Fighter Collectors CD (W95/98) - Which display card to enable Hardware 3D?
Posted on 2014-08-21, 12:09
I'm actually using a Geforce 2 MX on my Windows 98 machine and it works. The thing is, it's not the most comfortable solution as for many games you will need to adjust the acceleration slider in the control panel. But when it works, it works well. Have you tried swapping that FX5200 for another card …

Since it should work, I downloaded the 3dfx patch from another source and now the game starts up. However, there's no CD music. It kinda wants to start at the very beginning, stutters for a second, and then there's nothing. Generally the sound is rather buggy. For example, the sound effects in the …

That's not it. The one I have in mind was even more cheerful, mild, and cartoony. And if that helps, I'm pretty sure the player didn't receive any radio commands.

Well, I'm gonna install ubuntu on my netbook and test a few games and if all goes well I think I will install ubuntu on my main computer as well and hopefully solve a lot of my compatibility problems. Thank you for the input 😀

[solved] Old arcade flying game
Posted on 2014-08-21, 01:48
This is another one of those games I had a demo of from a magazine CD. I remember it was very fun to play but I can't remember the title. It was an arcade-style flying game. You could fly around in biplanes, "regular" planes, and I should imagine some other stuff too since as I recall, when you exit …
Re: A Real Game I've Never Played Before Appeared in my Dreams :o
Posted on 2014-08-21, 01:37
I remember I had something like this happen to me when I was a kid. I had this dream of a PC game in which you fly around in biplanes. The graphics in the dream were vivid, colorful and kinda cartoony. Not long afterwards, when my dad bought a gaming magazine, I promptly inserted the disc of demos …

I was looking through my old CDs tonight and I stumbled upon an installation CD for an old RivaTNT card I used to have installed in my first PC years ago. I don't know why I decided to save the disc but I did. I have no idea whether this is even remotely useful to anyone but since the whole CD is …
[solved] Ignition on Windows 7 x64
Posted on 2014-08-20, 23:52
As is claimed in here: https://www.facebook.com/ignitiongame/posts/128691297201474 Ignition can be run on Windows 7. There's one problem. That method seems to work fine only for the 32 bit version of Windows, not the 64 bit one. I have the exact same problem as the first commenter on the list; The …
Re: Motorhead - no CD music
Posted on 2014-08-20, 22:09
If you're using a nocd crack, try not doing that. I was using a no-cd crack since after installing the 3.0 patch (I'm obsessed with always having the latest version of any software and games), the game would no longer launch and request for a CD. However, during the installation of the patch …

The .reg file didn't do the trick. Good thinking, though. As for the sound settings in the game I only have a choice of direct sound or no sound. Isn't IndirectSound used just to restore surround sound in games?
Re: Anyone have bad luck with Linux?
Posted on 2014-08-20, 20:42
I remember when I first installed a Linux (Ubuntu) on my computer just to see how it works some years ago, I was pretty impressed (at first). The drivers were sorted out for me and a lot of good, useful software came out of the box with the OS. It seemed to me that if I just tweak a few things and …

Yes, the volume is at 100%. Hmm... I'm gonna test the image on my XP machine to see if I can get the music to work there. Although if it does, it's gonna be painful to have to play the game on that computer rather on my main one now that I got it to install and work...

There is an entry for motorhead in the Wow6432Node directory. CdDir is already set to the correct drive. Remember CDDA games often only look for CDDA only on the first CD drive on your system (by letter, not by hardware order) Hmm... in that case it would be prudent to burn the image and put it in …
