Hey guys just got this Glide Wrapper and now playing Lonbow 2 at 1280x960 in WinXP with my 5900 Ultra.

It's awesome. http://home.t-online.de/home/zsack/glide_wrapper/readme.htm

I have also posted a CM3 map for LB2 on my site. See sig

Ebay it Rev.

I am also going to try and see if Longbow FX works since it's supposed to Run in Glide. Now that would be a dream

I am running LB2 at 1280x960 with 6XS FSAA Now. Amazing

No matches found for the UK, one in the US but with no manuals...big problem for something of the complexity LB2 was, will keep a look out.

Hey, Spidey:

Can you give me a link to a site that's got instructions for setting up LB2 in XP? I can't seem to get it to install.

Thanks - JNOV

Don't want to install?

You are talking Longbow2 right? Installs fine for me. Try Win98 compatibility mode on the CD if it doesn't work. Then patch up to 2.09F.

Then get the glide wrapper link in my first post. Just run LB2 (may have to limit your ram to 512).

Go to Helo Sim forum at SimHQ. I have detailed instructios there under Glide Wrapper for LB2 thread.

Screenshots look awesome. I tried this, but when I use the Direct3D option, all I get is the cockpit, no HUD, no head movement, no key functionallity (but the color balance looks good). So I clicked the Glide option, and all is functional, but I have a purpleish cast to everything. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!
