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.

I'll directly upload the installed game. Yes in this version the iron cross is the default one for NATO. Same with my German SEF2000.

So it's merely a position on a texture file that is being defined. Probably a kind of X/Y position. I have the German TactCom shall I upload it to have a reference?

Is it known where the roundle files are located? A possibly simplier solution would be to simply swap the files, so the player may select the roundle before starting the game and it's managed through swapping the files in and out.

Thanks, have no clue about the Python scripts though.

Maybe SEF2000 has still a lot of unused files which were removed from v2.0, who knows.

Maybe adding the option to the Front End UI to choose the roundles to be used.

I have a few things in mind concerning the avionics and weapons, but most of it is probably not feasible.

Interesting that SEF2000 has even more files than v2.0. What program do you use to extract the dat files?

Are the displays rendered to different 3D coordinates, or are they wobbling out of sync? I.e. displays move right, while cockpit structure moves left?
