I need some help! Unfortunaly a gave my old Voodoo2 card away and now dicovered how bad RB 3D looks with my TNT2 card. I'm now up to grab myself a new Voodoo card. So are there any known problems with RB and Voodoo3 cards?

RBII/3D was meant to run with Glide. When Sierra/Dynamix set to work to salvage the disaster that was RBII, only the Glide people worked with them to bring RBII into the 3D age. I have RB3D installed with all of Beery's patches and add-ons, and I run it with a Voodoo3 3000, and it looks great and runs beautifully.

Aint that the truth. I have a GeForce 256 which does not have glide support. RB3D looks more like RB1D now. Really lousy lookin. I packed the game away in my "stuff to unload at the next garage sale" box. No WW1 flight sim has ever compared.....shame they don't update it.

Ojokoltsa and DC_Cannon_51:

It seems you both have excellent primary video cards. All you need to do now is add a voodoo2 card so you can enable 3Dfx glide.

Glide is still the primary accelerated graphics-rendering mode for games, and is required equipment for any gaming computer. Having a TNT2 or GeForce primary card and a voodoo2 card is the optimum display set-up cause it gives you the most performance and rendering options.

Salut!

Thanks Cat. I do have a Vodoo card in my old computer. I would strip it out and set it up on my new computer, but I have no idea how. Any websites that can help with that?

Well, it's usually a simple action. Just put the voodoo card into any available PCI slot. Plug your monitor into the Voodoo card and connect the short external cable between the voodoo and your primary video card.

When you reboot, windows will automatically detect your new hardware and when it asks for drivers, click [have disk] and put in the driver disk for it to copy.

Then go to the website of the manufacturer of your voodoo card (or from 3dfx.com) and check for any updated drivers and download and install them.

You should be able to get info from the voodoo cards manufacturers website.

I don't any websites specific to installing voodoo cards, off hand.

Hope this helps.

Salut!
