Game simply won't work w/ 3dfx glide renderer. Will work, (very poorly, horrible resolution) w/ D3D and software renderers. Locks up at mission launch every time in glide. Any suggestions?
P3-500 MHz
128 MB RAM
Direct x 7.0a
Latest voodoo drivers (1.05.00 July)
Windoze 98 2nd ed.
Game is patched to latest official version (1.5)

The July Voodoo drivers are probably the reason why. I have nearly the same setup and it works on my system. Try going back to a older set of drivers.

Yes, it *is* the newer drivers that are the problem...does anyone have a status update on a possible fix for Glide (including any fix for a V5-5500)?

Thank you, gents.The problem was indeed the July (1.05.00) voodoo drivers. Reverted back to January (1.04.00) drivers and was able to launch game. However,now my first person cockpit view seems to be placed way on the left side of cockpit. Any suggestions? Thanks again.

Hmm... what res are you running in? There is a glide bug that enlarges the screen to the wrong size. Run it in 800x600, not 1024x768

Other than that, what plane is the view shifed in? Or is it all the planes?
