EFUTIL entry is updated, managed to run it using the "Wimevdm" tool. https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases The good thing about this tool is that you can not only run 16 bit setups and old executables, there is a winhelp function included, discovered it by coincidence. You can use it...

Interesting in EF2000 there was no message that I can remember, but might be wrong on it. I only remember that the mission ended when you left the area, while I was testing the Autopilot logic in tracking mode with no target.

Sounds like it. Probably they didn't bother to mske a proper upgrade, as they were already too heavily engaged in F-22ADF already.

Yep, I will checkout the UK TACTCOM + GFX to see whether it results into the same US v2.0 conversion. I have already tried swapping the executables between the unaccelerated versions of GE and UK TACTCOM, which interestingly had no impact on the roundles, unlike your test with the W95 versions. The ...

The website I have linked to above contains the GFXPlus.zip containing the tacpat.exe. The site linked to in the opening post contained the tacpatg.exe. The "g" apparently for German. Wouldn't be surprised, if there was no separate patch other than this. I have dowloaded Mernava's UK packa...

The one that I used was for the German version, but it stated German to English v2.0. Hoped that the insignias would remain the same. I might try the standard GFX+ patch, but doubt it will make any difference. Maybe somebody can confirm what happened to the British or any other (non-US) TACTCOM vers...

I have succeeded. Seems the game didn't like the retrospective renaming of the game folder. Changing it back to EF2000 solved the problem. Unfortunately I could have saved myself a lot of time, because applying the GFXplus patch has indeed turned my German EF2000 TACTCOM install into the US EF2000 v...

Yes didn't remember that either, As time passes by and we are getting old.

I've come across this before, and it might be that it's not finding the dat file, so you could try running it from the command line. These are the command line parameters I use: >_ef2000 DID=C:\<your path to did.dat> quick_flag=1 gui Tried running as administrator, but it doesn't work, stating acce...

The error message is "dataset not found" and it talks about inserting the SEF-2000 CD. That's interesting enough. Have tried it with the V2 image and my SEF2000 CD. Interestingly it only happens, if I try to start with the _ef2000.exe. When I use the ef2000.exe it simply skips with no erro...

Not sure when SC came out exactly, but the manual states 1997. So definitely after TACTCOM.

This site seems to have multiple GFXPlus patches: https://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/2913/3DFXManiaCDROM.iso/patches/gfxplus.zip The one I linked to is the one with the latest date. I was able to successfully apply the GFX+ patch for the German EF2000 TACTCOM, but the game now asks for a CD-ROM...

This thread means to collect all available tools and utitilities for the EF2000 game. I might update the opening post with more information, when they become available. Super Revive: REVIVE.zip Tool to edit the active campaign scenario (nuking and repairing bases, changing aircraft types, rotating a...

Have found a link to the G+ patch, it's for the German version of EF2000(TACTCOM). So far I have failed to get it applied though, or at least it first complaints about Operating system blabla, then nevertheless open the installer which offers the choice 3DFX & RENDITION and tells me that it will...

Am just in the process of making a fresh install of EF2000 TACTCOM using DOS Box. I have backed up the original install and am patching to TACTCOM. Can confirm that the 1did.dat is created by the TACTCOM installer. I have found the Graphics+ update and try to run it therafter. I'll report on the res...

Thanks, interesting find. I have all relevant versions installed, maybe placing the German TACTCOM exe into the v2.0 3DFX version has the same effect, albeit I have some doubts about it. Might be worth to also give a try to Italian and Spanish nationality assignments for the scripted missions, as th...

That comment was about the SEF2000. There are a few minor differences between tactcom and SEF2000. SEF2000 doesn't support the Graphics+ update and VFX1, but has the online help library. In SEF2000 the display overlays are also available in the 3D cockpit, not just in the HUD only view. I mean to re...

It was actually a low budget copy I stumbled across in June 2001. Just the CD case with the CD, manuals in PDF format on the CD. Had the hard copy of EF2000 Special Edition (EF2000 + TACTCOM).

Found a quick solution to install SEF2000. https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases Very easy to use in order run 16 bit setups on 64 bit O/S. So here is the exe from my German SEF2000 copy, it's definitely much larger, but based on the file size it seems that the "superw.dat" is probab...

Here is the complete TACTCOM install. I have to checkout whether I can find the _superw.exe on the CD, as I have only the v2.0 Win95 version installed and want to avoid the hazzle of somehow getting SEF2000 installed.
