if anisotropic is not possible would it be possible to just always use textures in highest resolution on every distance? can be even without bilinear.
was checking pyl in 4k with disabled bilinear and distant textures have really blocky pixels

notice crate resolution in the scope and outside
notice mechwarrior resolution behind the crate

You can test in anywhere in the game, for example look at the door at the very beginning if you turn around 180 degrees
4k monitor is not needed too.
1600x1200 is enough to see this.

Ok, a quick debug reveals that mipmapping is disabled in this game by default. I mean that it's controlled by the game itself which mipmaplevel is used for a textured polygon.
For example, that door is rendered at 8x8, 32x32 and 128x128 depending on the distance.
So, dgVoodoo cannot do much here. 🙁
It doesn't see the whole mipmap with all levels to force the sampling to the largest one, only the particular one set for the rendering.
For example, when rendered at 8x8 then 8x8 is the largest and only one texture mipmap level.

I've asked Zeus some time ago about this too and he told me that there is no option to disable it. Whenever I wanted to have the filtering removed for a game (e.g. MDK, Requiem: Avenging Angel, Heretic II) I had to ask him how to do it. Usually it required hex editing one of the games exe files.

Should Glide have various texture filtering options like DirectX?

I vote for yes.
