Author Topic: Superhornet (DI) Crashman Member Member # 827 posted 12-30-1999 10:38 AM                   Two days ago I bougt DI's F18 Superhornet! I think it isn't so bad and after some time you can really enjoy it but I have a problem with the framerate. It is unplayable in 1024 with cockpit. Without cockpit it's very smooth. Actually I have a Celeron 433 and a Voodoo 3. Should I buy a new Graphiccard (Geforce...) or do I need a new CPU ?

How much memory do you have? Also, run the config and make sure your using your Voodoo drivers.

I'm also using my Voodoo drivers and I have disabled all options under "Details".

Flanker, DI, USAF, and I have heard reports of problems with janes f18 jeez come on already.

John IP: Logged Ozias unregistered posted 01-01-2000 12:54 AM           The programming teams seem to prefer D3D to Glide at the moment, probably because D3D covers a whole range of cards (including 3Dfx) while Glide is 3Dfx specific. That and the fact that D3D seems to support the more advanced facilities of the newer cards, which 3Dfx doesn't support -> texture & lighting/Geforce256. It's just a pity that DX7 seems to be such a pain in the posterior to get running... IP: Logged Crashman Member Member # 827 posted 01-01-2000 10:16 AM                   Today I installed the old DirectX 6.1 driver for my Voodoo3 and Superhornet is much faster. Even in 1024 you can play the game with 15+ fps. With the DirectX 7 driver the fps were usually under 10.

Or were you just guessing? Blaze Posts: 1556 | From: | Registered: Sep 1999  |  IP: Logged
