Oops - I'd updated the link in the first post, but not the other one. Should work now.

I lied, I changed the settings.txt back to windowed mode and it still crashes every now and then with the access violation error.. I think it's a problem with something on my system, because for the life of me I can't reproduce this bug today. Saw you entered it into the IGF good luck

@allen - thanks! @rdein - can you post your system specs and the contents of log.txt?
In other news: The American B29 is standing in for the Russian Tu-4, which was a copy of it. In the game I currently have Tu-80s, which were prototypes of an enlarged Tu-4. They never went into production, since the swept-winged Tu-85 was produced instead. My Tu-80 is looking like this: I recently changed the model to make it more blocky, to fit with the other aircraft. Maybe I should go back to octagons rather than hexagons for the engines. It's a real monster when all the turrets are going, and it's an interesting problem to get the AI to do sensible attacks against it. It should happen in at least two stages; first go to the right relative position, while staying out of range (possibly of other bombers as well), and then come in to attack, and then break off.

Is it weird that I see this? It's not supposed to look like that . Thanks for the details. It looks like point sprites are working weirdly for you. I've read there are various problems with the ATI implementation of these. To do round particles, you can just used glPoints, but on my ancient ATI laptop these come out square, and if I smooth them the framerate drops enough to take it below 60fps. So instead I'm using pointsprites and drawing a circular texture on to them. However smoothed glpoints should be nothing to a modern machine. So here's a version that doesn't use pointsprites: http://www.box.net/shared/avjunqfaf8(you can press f to show the framerate, in milliseconds per frame) @rdein and allen - It's possible that point sprites are causing your problems as well. Does this version work better?

Thanks! It sounds like your computer is even older than mine, and it's stopping at a weird place, in the middle of loading an image in SDL (for a heightmap). I don't know what it would take to get it running on your card, sorry.

that version runs just about identical to the original point sprites version.
I opened and closed it many times to get the no point sprites version to crash on startup but it never did. So I think this fixed that little startup crash I kept experiencing.

Yikes, I just tried this myself on a modern ati card, a 5450. On the original demo version the particles don't show at all. On the updated one (not using pointsprites) it looks more or less okay, but the atmosphere particles are square for some reason, the lines are broken up into weird segments instead of being continuously flowing, and something has changed with how the transparency is displayed in the jet exhaust. Oh OpenGL . Also I haven't yet found a satisfactory low-res widescreen resolution setting for the monitor.

Now I don't feel nearly as insecure about my seven year old computer, cause this looks AWESOME on it.

New version with a couple more missions. with Vampires, airships and Yaks. The new version should hopefully fix this wretched problem with pointsprites and lines on some computers. Particles should be round (and the atmosphere should be full of them), aircraft trails should not be in segments, and jet exhaust should be smooth rather than ragged.

Wow, looks very cool, can't wait for a full version. When it spots the enemy I think you should add a voice in there saying "bandit at 3 o' clock" or somethin, but that's just me. Even if that wasn't in there it'd still be hardcore awesome.

the game is great, from how it looks to how it plays and it has airships, so it can only be good. The setting reminds me a bit of Air Power, ok it hasn't that many similarities but that has airships too. But i hate that i have to press p to get out of pause. Either make it escape again or another button that isn't so far away. (Or you could go to pause as long as you press the right mouse button because most of the time if you look around you will be in pause anyway, but perhaps that messes with the gameflow.)

Thanks! Sounds like you're pausing and unpausing more frequently than I do; maybe I'll add R as pause as well. Seems like I'm not going to get around to using R to access other radio commands.
Anyway, I think it's about time to stick a fork in this. I'm planning to smarten up some of the 3d models (dazzle camo on the carrier?), maybe tidy up one or two other things, and call it done.

It looks a little too much like broken texture texture to me.
However, having just looked up dazzle, I have come to the conclusion that it is awesome. Maybe you should make the stripes narrower?

I see what you mean about the broken texture. And I'm not even using textures - I'm just colouring the triangles. Of which there aren't that many, although I shouldn't get stuck up about not splitting some things in two if it would give nicer stripes. I could add another colour.
