With wine 9.0 on ubuntu 24.04 LTS, the 1999 flight sim Mig Alley 3D view displays only with virtual desktop on, and even then the 3D screen displays on a small part of the screen and frame rate is very low. I notice that although I set WINEARCH=win32, no "Program Files (x86)" directory is created in the wine bottle. Could it be that this old game requires wine32, yet ubuntu 24.04LTS is using 64 bit wine despite the WINEARCH=win32 command? I installed wine, and also wine32 via
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt install -y wine32
Thanks!
P.S.
Mig Alley works fine on ubuntu 22.04 LTS with wine 6.0; an installation is available here: https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-for-engineers
Mig Alley also runs fine on Windows 10, with WinXPSP2 compatibility, so long as the DDrawCompat dll
https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat
is placed in the Mig Alley directory. Adding this dll to an ubuntu winebottle seems to have no effect
