European Air War

Great, some assembly required on Win 11

Classic WW2 flight sim action, however I could not get nglide to work, and the slow performance of directx was not an option. I always received a black screen when exiting a flight which had to be ended with task manager. No amount of messing with the nglide settings fixed it and all resolutions were tried. I finally had to resort to a different glide wrapper, dgVoodoo2. It was easy to setup and now everything runs flawlessly at 60fps in a variety of missions. I own the disc and followed the manual install method out of curiosity, and got nglide working that way. Even then nglide was just OK but not nearly as fast as dgvoodoo2 in my experience. I'm no stranger to messing with old games to get them to run well, and I'm sticking with this version because of the fixes to movies etc, but I think it should have ran better out of the box.
