Ok, who's afraid of me and my B-17?  Have I killed too many ACKs or capped too many of your bases? ;-)

Seriously, Upgraded to the latest version.  Even rebooted.  When I fire up the program, my cursor changes to an hour glass, the screen starts to load (seems to fire up 3d) and then exits me to the desktop.  No error message or anything.  Im running a AMD K62-400 and Voodoo3 3000 AGP if this helps.

Please email me at webmaster@checksix.net if anyone has any idea whats going on....or am I the only one experiencing this problem?  I am curent with the Voodoo3 drivers, and before the update, everything worked fine.

I would double-check to make sure you don't have 16 bit color selected.  Just delete your video.cfg from your settings directory and run it again.  If that's not it, did you have any problems when you installed it?  You might want to check your file size against the download.

Actually, I deleted the video.cfg and tried over.  I even re-downloaded the complete program (8+mb) and still no joy.  I am using 16 bit color as using 32 in the past caused a lockup.

I guess my issue is that everything worked fine before.  My other DirectX and Glide games are working fine (I had to resort to them since I was unable to fly my B-17....this smells like a Knight Ploy to keep my effective bombraids away! LOL).

Ill try 32 again, but recall Voodoo3 cant do 32bit.  24 yes.
