One of the new features added to the December 2019 version of AnKor's Shades is the ability to run in Windows Mode without adding it to the command line when starting the game. The entry in d3d8.ini...

Ahhh, the things we learn the hard way. I've had Spitfire_MkIXc_BS273 installed in ETO since late 2017, and had flow it in game a number of times. I recently turned off unlimited ammo, and suddenly...

Be aware that the Alpha layer trick to make objects invisible is not entirely compatible with AnKor's shaders. If the m3d has it's drawing mode set to take advantage of a reflection map texture then...

*** Always make a back-up copy of the m3d before you start!...

For those of you wanting to modify the color of the canopy glass posts #51, and #58 above describe how to recognize the section (diffuse color) of the m3d file that you would need to edit.
