Pretty certain it was a Direct3D6 game.

It is, but it also supports Glide and OpenGL: http://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/2282 … -back-cover.jpg

To quote from that image:

Graphics: 3-D graphic[sic] accelerator compatible with Glide 3.0, Direct3D, or OpenGL (with full ICD support)

Yes ist Support OpenGL. But the Developer ....... The ww2.exe search the OpenGL32.dll in C:\Windows\System\ not System32 (and SysWow64 < x86 for 64Bit OS). Place the OpenGL32.dll in C:\Windows\System\ and you see in the 3D Setup
- D3d Prmary Device Driver
- 3DFX (is you has nGlide or .....)
- OpenGL

But with Default Sys OpenGl32 it only Show 640x480 16Bit. You can try and edit the ww2.ini.

OMG! My childhood! I need this game, now!

I distinctly remember that there were some graphics issues on Windows XP with some GFX cards. I hope that's not the case on win7.

Edit: Nope. Works just fine on Windows 7 x64 SP1 using both D3D and nGlide.

It's too bad Jane's Combat Sims went under 🙁

Grew up on Longbow myself, but never got to play ww2 fighters until this year.

They also made another ww2 game called attack squadron
