Thanks Eugene,
already found an entry latter that day in the combat sims forum. The SG is included into the latest TAW 2 install. Just installed it a few days ago, but didn't have a look at it.

'Wee' Mac, I've only just realised that EF2000 has built in support for the VFX1 headset and now see what you are getting at. If one knew what one was doing, it should be easy to implement TrackIR as the VFX1 SDK is available.
Knowing what to do is the stumbling block though.

Scorpion, glad to hear that. I should have realized it is there! Sorry.

No problem Eugene. I had a look at the SG and it's nicely written and may help here or there, though there aren't many news at all for me, but I just love that sim.

I pulled out my EF2000 CD.I was able to run this on Vista but now that I have Windows 7 X64 it won't even install the Windows 95 version.Its says its not compatible when I run setup.Any solutions?I'd hate to have to use the DOS version.

I haven't tried SEF on my Vista64 PC, but the general tactic with these DiD sims is to install the game on a compatible PC and then copy across the resulting directory to the 64 bit machine.

Thanks,

I'll install it on my Pent 4 laptop with xp on it.I pulled out a ton of my old manuals over the weekend.EF2000(the thick manual)Janes F-15,F-18,and the big EECH manual,the TAW manual in the binder.I'm so glad to still have these.They are priceless.Got an urge to reinstall some good classics.

Hi! I've just bought a boxed copy of EF2000 Evolution + Tactcom. It's the European DOS Version. My quesion is, would it be possible to install over this version the Graphics+ patch and the SC, or it will only work with v2.0? <- In this case, is it abandonware? If so, where could I find it?

Regards!

Go ahead and try it! I don't think it will work though, but the patching will let you know that.

IIRC, isn't Graphics+ the accelerated Voodoo and Rendition versions? By the way the Windows version, Super EF2000, isn't graphics accelerated either. It is about the same in appearance as the dos non accelerated version you have.

In any case, among other versions, EF2000 v2.0 installs the full Tactcom/Graphics+ package as either Voodoo or Rendition compatible. In other words you don't patch any of the included versions on the v 2.0 disc.

The Graphics+ patch was supposed to be a free addon to Tactcom:

There's a link to what's claimed to be the Graphics + patch here:

OK - should have checked first. Yes, you should be good to go, patching your version. Here is the MigMan entry on the Graphics + patch:

Hope this clears up things.

Well not really

I thing the best I can do is to follow the instruction and see if it works. The version I've bought is EF2000 Evolution and, according to MigMan, it should allow to be patched with the Graphic+. Unfortunately they will send me the box to my parents' house so I'm still two or three weeks to get it. I hope in the meanwhile a new version of the DosBox with voodoo1 support will be out!

Regards!!

Unsure what now is not clear? You have the judgment from Migman and from mikew regarding your question.
If you have new questions about your hardware, that's a new issue.

Ey Eugene! English is not my mother tongue, so sorry if I looked unpolite or rude - I was only kidding, I meant that the way to make it work looks really complicated so even having clear that Graphic+ should work with my version, there is still a long way to go. Sorry for the misleading. I apreciate a lot all the work that you especifically among others have made in this fabolous simulator and it's only I don't feel with the same skills to follow your steps.

Regards!

No worries, no problem - your English is very good. I simply wasn't sure what might still be of question for you.
Yes - although the patching is no problem, the only reason you would do it is because either:
1. You have access to a Voodoo 1 or a supported Rendition card
or
2. You are going to try the modded DOS box new option for getting the Graphics+ Voodoo implementation to work. Actually, it is not hard at all if you use mikew's link to a recent modded dos box version that works for this mode. I say "not hard" assuming you have used dos box before. If not, yes, that is a little complicated seeming in the beginning but a very useful tool for older games/sims, and well worth the little amount of learning necessary for dos box use. You can get a lot of help right here, and you could search this forum's earlier posts and other threads for instructions. Or just ask. People here are happy to help.
