SAME THING FOR SUBCOMMAND AND OTHER GAMES AS WELL

Hey chaparro.

The main problem is your GPU Fleet Command doesn't like Nvida graphic card. :down::cry:

There are a few thing you can do thought. :up:

1. Install DirectX 9.
2. Adjust Window 7 for Best performance.
3. Turn off all background software.
4. Use the Glide wrapper files.
5. Set the Nvida driver to best performance.
6. Don't have the Task Manger running went the game is playing.

Let me know if you need any more help. :salute:

Disable Aero if that's even possibile.
As a last resort install XP in dual boot for those games that don't work in windows 7.

Hy, mate :salute:, i will try this setting as soon as i can
and i will let you know if they work, thank you for your time
i apreciated. :03:

Ok, i have try everything and nothing works, the game screen still shakes and it keeps bleeping and its driving me crazy.
Maybe i need a lover comp, or just throw the game away.
Dont know what else to do.

I have the same problem with subcommand, but i keep reading that some people can play the game, WHAT DO THEY DO? Im i doing something wrong?
:damn::damn::damn:

I have try all your recommendation and install the game with the patch or the installer and still nothing, any other sugestion before i
jump overboard?

THANK YOU FOR THE HELP.

How do i install XP if i have win 7 already install, see im new to this comp
thing, do i have to erase win 7, first or i can install it on top?:hmmm:

Are you using SCS's version of Fleet Command or the older Jane's?

Fleet command still a real mess
 

Im using the old janes game and i have try everything you all mates sugest and nothing seems to work for me, im doom:damn::damn::damn:,
so it seems that everything is lost for me, no more air in my ballast tank, maybe im just have to let it rest, and look for new horizons, dont know what else to try, if you mates have any more sugestions they are most welcome, before im really doom.
i will try a few more tricks and see what happens.
Thank you all for your time and help :salute::salute::salute:.

I also have the old version of FC. I also have tried every step in all the info I have got.

I also tried to purchased the SCS version(2008) but i can't find it in any online store or in my local computer shop.

My friend gave my a good advice-Buy an extern HDD install my old XP-Pro on it and I should be able to play all my old games that I can't play anymore, on my new computer(Vista)

FC
SHIII
DC(on my first Vista, I could)

Fleet command problem resolved.
 

Ok i finaly got the game to run, without the flickering, it doesnt run smothly but it runs and no major problem,
this is what i did:
first i close all the programs in the back ground.
then i install the game using the FLEET COMMAND INSTALLER PATCH then
i use a program call DGVOODO 1.40 PLUS, this program create a virtue 3dfx like a voodo 2 and use the glide 2.34 as a video card, unzip the files inside the FLEET COMMAND FOLDER, once that is done open the interface located in the same folder you unzipped is call DGVOODO SETUP, click and you will see the interface that looks just like the voodo card and you can tweek the seting to your hearts contend, but i sugest to leave it the way it is, unless you have problems.
then i made a shortcut and use compatibility with WINDOWS XP SERVICE PACK 3, then i disable VISUAL THEMES AND DESKTOP COMPOSITIONS, in the same tab you are once inside the simulator in grapghics set up your video card to use the glide 2 video and you are set to go, any question let me know,
good luck.
you can download FLEET COMMAND INSTALLER AT SUBSIM.COM IN THE DOWNLOAD SECTION AND THE DGVOODO 1.40, SEARCH IN GOOGLE.

Hey juniorjj84.

To stop the game running slow just press Ctrl+v to toggle radar coverage,
this will make the game run nice and smooth on all Gpu's. :salute:

Hey mapuc.

Try my friends online store,

http://yhst-12000246778232.stores.yahoo.net/nacopa.html

http://yhst-12000246778232.stores.ya...etcommand.html

the chap that runs this store is very helpful, oh by the way if you buy the game from here let them know I sent you there. :salute:

You can do this no probs, but if your new to this stuff I wouldn't recommend doing it,
but I can give you a web link that explains how to do it. :salute:

Ok give me the link, cause i have an extra hard drive sitting around doing nothing so lets give it a good use, and how do i install another xp or win 98 to that hard drive and make it run, or boot from it?
any help is always welcome.
thanks in advance to all of you for your help.

Hey juniorjj84.

Here is the link, but be warn you must backup any that is important just in case it
messes up on you. :damn: :arrgh!::damn::arrgh!:

Or if you can afford too :hmmm: get a laptop or desktop with a GMA Gpu.

This is the best modern graphic card to play Fleet Command on, if you would like a example of what to buy let me know. :salute:
