Descent 3 Howto play Online Descent3 is not death

[ingoreis]

Hi Guys,i play often Descent 3 Online and invite you all to play it too,because we search new Players for the good old Descent 3.
Its a Game from 1999 then it fits good here in Retro Gaming Forum :rolleyes:

Now i start the Howto:

First install your own Copy of Descent3 to c:\games\descent as Full Install

then install the Version 1.4 Patch from here
http://www.descent3....L_1.4_Patch.exe

and the legal no CD Patch from them too
http://www.descent3...._NOCD_Patch.exe

Start the Game once to Setup your Graphics Card and create one Pilot and exit the Game

Now you must download the Descent3 Onlinesoftware from Slyclan named "VORTEX"
http://www.slyclan.d...wnload.php?id=1

When you Klick on D3Server Lists you see Many Servers and can play them free.

(Tip,in Settings set the Keyboard response to 0,then you can react faster)


My favourite Level is Subway Dancer there you can Fly and Fight in a Subway Station and Tunnels with Special Weapons.(here a Video)

Yeah, Microsoft joysticks, joypads and steering wheels were awesome.


I still have my old SideWinder gamepad (but I don't have any computer with a game port) and my Force Feedback 2 (which is great, but you need to add a ring of foam under the hat switch, since its quite loose, to prevent "plastic rattling").


I played with my sidewinder 3d pro to its death (privateer, many wing commander, freespace, descent and many more games), I was quite sad when it stopped working.


I also had their force feedback wheel, but gave it to my father (back then he played collin mc rae rally a lot lol). I guess he got rid of it when he moved.
