Since I have DX7 TNT2 (i don't reinstall win98 no chance) i cannot use LGB. I would like to try the F4DX file but I fear my framerates will drop... Does anyone have experience with that fix??? I'd better use MK84 than **** -framerates

Kgeorge, I tried it and I can see no visible framerate loss. I still get the DevCreateSurface error however. I have PIII 600EB, 128Mb, GeForce 256, Win 98, 1.08 patch.

What PC you running?

Just dowloaded it last night after reading this thread. IT'S FABULOUS !!
About the framerate I don't know, didn't notice any huge differences.
But it's wonderful to be able to use LGB's in campaign again while running DX7a. Need it to support my brand new GeeForce and Saitek X36 USB.
It literally is a rebirth for F4 for me, no longer restricted to BARCAPS only.

I endorse it vigourously.
