Many say that a wrapper works better than a V5500.
I'm using Glidos "0.07b4". Works best for me. FR's in the 60's on a 256 mB GeForce in 800x600 60 hertz.
Never finished a Campaign unless joining in October '18
One of my other tricks is to re-join the same
Squadron after getting killed, same Pilot name, rank, date etc. I lose my kills and medals but I get too many of those anyway
Another tip - land at the nearest available Friendly drome, this will save some of your Squadies who may not make it back all the way to home drome.

There are also instructions in the retail RB3D manual telling how to resurrect a dead pilot. They talk about going into the save file and monkeying with it somehow. I wasn't able to follow the instructions and get it to work though.

Glidos, or OpenGLide never worked well for me. When I drew close to the ground or to a cloud layer the textures would tear and go crazy. And framerates were not too good either in a fight, especially over a ground object.

But dgVoodoo has been great. FR's average in the forties. And you're right, I actually bought a Voodoo 5500. It is still in my closet. I haven't had any incentive to install it.

I do the same thing, start a new pilot in the same squadron about a week after I die, but with a new name. I always fly as CO, so I figure it would take a few days for him to get to his new assignment. I usually give myself three tries at a mission. If I still can't get through it, I let my pilot die. I've learned a lot about surviving this way.

Toadvine, you can revive a pilot with CM11. Open your campaign, click on Modify Campaign, and select Restore Last Pilot.

S!
