Superflight

What works

• Launching and playing game using 64-bit Wine

What does not

• Anti-aliasing setting of "x4" or greater causes black screen after opening logos
• Sometimes the game window freezes on exit

Workarounds

If you launch the game and the opening logos are shown properly, but you see a black screen afterwards, then the game's anti-aliasing setting must be changed to x2 or OFF.

Using the Wine builtin reg.exe tool, this will be something like (double check these registry paths are correct with the regedit.exe tool):

wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Grizzly Games\SUPERFLIGHT' /v 'video_antialiasing' /t 'REG_DWORD' /d '2' /f

or

wine reg add 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Grizzly Games\SUPERFLIGHT' /v 'video_antialiasing' /t 'REG_DWORD' /d '0' /f

Obviously this must be done whilst you aren't running the game!

What was not tested

• Steam achievements / global high score data integration (executable was run directly with wine, not under Steam)

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU: Intel
• Driver: open source

Additional Comments

Run the game in a 64-bit WINEPREFIX using a command like the following:

WINEDEBUG=-all wine superflight.exe 2>/dev/null

The WINEDEBUG=-all env variable is intended to discard the many fixme: lines, which are output while the game runs.
