Have you tried to back track you say"DX-t" I haven't come a cross it yet in the game and as far as I know I haven't got DX-T on my pc and sh3 works well, have you concidered deleting it? (back up you files before you do anything)

yeah it is a litlle unstable i only changed my sound card and i started to crash back to desktop mid game all i did was turn off the music and its fine, just going back to what you said bout silent service on the c64 i used to have that and spent many an hour on it, it was the best sim game out at that time for the c64 brings back some good memories

I reinstalled old Nvidia drivers for the 5500, I think version 61.77, where everythink works right and I can see the sun glare and proper black smoke.

I tried Omega and the new Nvidia drivers, and I think that's where the problem was .... so far no more crashes (too much tweaking gets one in trouble).

I need a new machine ....

Speaking of the C64, I also liked Kennedy Approach, the air traffic controller sim .... what a blast!

D/l a c64 emulator, some of the games, and play to your heart's content on your PC. I do.

I remember Kennedy Approach.

Kennedy Approach was fun, as you had to manage all take-offs, all inbound flights, plus through traffic, with occasional "May Day May Day" emergency landings, and thunderstorms ..... all in 3D space with DIGITIZED SPEECH on a C64 !!!!!!!!

You had to maintain vertical separation of aircraft and horizontal separation, plus all aircraft had to leave your screen at the proper handoff altitude, I think 4000 ft. You were promoted or fired, depending upon flight delays (inbound and outbound) and any serious conflicts .... OR CRASHES !

It was Microprose software.

I also had c64 Gunship .... I hated when the HIND chopper showed up! YIKES!

I did download one of the C64 emulators once, and did find the image for Kennedy Approach ....it was a little buggy but worked.

lmao yeah gunship i loved that like you say when the hind turned up it was like "arrrgghhh", only prob with it was when i finished a mission i had the option to play the same mission again or go back to main menu, i used to choose main menu but all it would do then is start loading again then the tape ran out, was this the same for you by any chance?
