I made the mistake of choosing 32 bit on a machine with a Voodoo3 card which lost me the video of course.  Now I cannot get back in to alter the video setting back to 16 bit.  I have looked all over for an ini file that might hold the setting, but no luck.  Help.  I hope it is not a re-install.

In the Aces High/Settings directory, there's a file called video.cfg.  It seems to have all of the video settings in it.

Thank's I will try that.  The reason I changed it in the first place is because the graphics were poor and I was unable to read the gauges.  My machine is ok as it uses a 19" monitor and GeForce256 card.  But Helen (Flos) machine uses the Voodoo3 with a 17" monitor.  Any suggestions as to the best settings for that combination.

 Hi Zeb. I think for Voodoo users the hi-res texture file and the highest screen resolution you can manage and keep a decent FPS are your best bets.

Don't forget to download the "HIGH RES PATCH", which makes the gauges readable.
