Restored Gunship! resource.

Hi all! I own the Steam version, but cannot make it work properly, it runs slow as hell, any idea?

Also IIRC It was possible to fly Cobras at one time, anyone remember how?

For better Gunship! performance gunship_HiD_v1.exe with dgvoodo2.

For AH-1 GS:TOS mod

BTW Stratos,
I remember seeing you often on Helo/GS forum on SimHQ.

Have you heard from guys like Fng2K, Psyklik, KB, or WB?

I have not and that makes me a little sad as it would be really fun to relive GS! again with those old champs!

Unfortunately no, haven't heard anything for a looooong time.
Where can I get the gunship_HiD_v1.exe??

Polak2 · 01-18-23, 09:37 PM

I do not have that but I can look in the "attic".

However, if you cannot make it smooth on Steam exe with dgvoodoo2 then gunship_HiD_v1.exe may make the situation even worse because _HiD means that distance LODs are disabled here and you should see farther down. But performance could suffer.

I think I need to check carefully how that voodoo program works and see why it doesn't work properly on my install.

Just follow dgVoodoo2 Quick Guide.

The newly reborn Microprose is remastering a bunch of the old titles, including the B-17 titles. Their new titles are very good. I especially like, "Regiments". I'd definitely recommend it.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll decide to remaster, "Gunship!" and, "M1 Tank Platoon II" for us. I spent a lot of time with those titles back when they were current. Perhaps, "Silent Service" will get remastered as well.
