Janes Longbow 2 Win7 64bit

Oct 2013 Update - several people have asked for help getting this to work, so here goes: If you don't have one already, install a Glide wrapper. I recommend this one myself...
Configure Glide wrapper as you wish (set high res and gamma correction at least) Download this file, and run it as required. This is your one-stop ready-to-go LB2 installation...
Follow the instructions about adding the registry keys, and set LB2.exe to WinXP SVC Pack 2 comp mode. WARNING: Some virus checkers will immediately kill LB2.exe as a virus. This is very much not the case. Despite thousands of emails telling them otherwise, Norton, McAfee, Microsoft and others still haven't added the file to a safe list. You may well have to allow the file within your own virus checker. Run lb2cfg.exe and select 3DFX as preferred display option. Run LB2.exe and job's done! It will ask for your disk 1 or 2 depending on what map you choose to use first, provide the disk and away you go. Yep, it you don't have a copy of the original disks, this install won't work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another mission here:    • Janes Longbow 2 Win7 64bit - Recon/Strike   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A recon mission from Janes Longbow 2 on a Windows 7 64-bit PC, with loads of RAM and 4 core processor. I use nGlide for the 3DFX wrapper, and use Fraps full version to record. Interestingly as a pleasant aside, it limits the speed very nicely so I don't need to piss around with CPU throttles and rubbish like that. I set to it to record at 25FPS and, well, see for yourself... Rockets hit targets, Hellfire TOF is in seconds rather than milliseconds (watch the heads-down countdown), and best of all the Rotor RPM Low "bug" is avoided totally. This particular install is courtesy of Flyboy at SimHQ, see this thread here for more details:
This sim is old (1997), but in my humble opinion, still the best combat helo sim out there (except maybe Black Shark). How much would I love a Longbow 3...? You there Mr Hollis!? Enjoy...!
