I'll look into the Base Mods CD, may still be lurking somewheres.Damn that game. If I get time this weekend I'll try WW2 Fighters on XP and post the results. Everything seems to run OK with my GF3 so may have to be content with that. Thanks KT7aGuy! I was under the impression that V2 SLI was solid with pretty much all period correct games but guess that's not the case.
Also, there's a thread here about running the game on modern systems: If you want it and are unable to find a download of it anywhere, let me know and I'll upload it somewhere so you can get it. I can't find it online anymore, but I still have a copy of it. I never tried running it under WinXP, but I assume it should work OK.Īges ago, a community effort compiled a "Base Mods CD" of all the various add-ons, patches, mods, etc, for WW2 Fighters. Janes WW2 Fighters was always a bit flaky to me, but it works well enough. Disable your SLI mode and it should run OK. It runs perfectly on my Voodoo 1, 2, 3, and 5 cards and also my GF4 Ti4600s, all under Win98SE.Īlso note that European Air War has problems running in GLIDE in SLI mode.
Also, it uses 8-bit palletized textures and fog table, so you don't want to use a video card newer than a GeForce FX. While you can get it to run under XP with unofficial patches, nothing is guaranteed. It and Red Baron 3D are the primary reasons I keep my old Win98SE systems going. (This game is what got me interested in classical music.) Reply 10 of 48, by Kreshna Aryaguna NurzamanĮuropean Air War is happiest on a Win9x system. (Think of it as a predecessor to Crimson Skies.) (Graphics look like crap unless you can get SVGA mode working.) (Fantastic dynamic campaign with strategy elements.) (Dynamic campaign can be glitchy, but it's fantastic.)įor a really obscure retro flight sim experience: (Hard to choose which of the many excellent unofficial mods to run. (Steam has it, but I'm waiting for a GOG release.) (Ridiculously high levels of realism and stratospheric learning curve.) Rowan's Battle of Britain and/or Battle of Britain II (High learning curve at max realism, but it can be turned down.) (No dynamic campaign, but unofficial options exist.) (Works best with NVIDIA FX series or older graphics cards.)
It's probably best to decide on one and then ask specifically what you need to do to get it running at its best.įor WW2 flight sims I recommend in order of preference with common concerns: Some of them are now obscure and difficult to find. All of them also have unofficial community fan updates/mods that greatly improve and expand their features.
