FREE TNTsim3DTM
3D Simulator for Microsoft Windows with DirectX or OpenGL
TNTsim3D for Windows is a FREE standalone program
that lets you fly over 3D terrains with keyboard or joystick controls. Use
the professional TNTmips software to prepare Landscape Files (.sim) for
TNTsim3D from objects in your TNT Project Files (.rvc). The TNTmips data
preparation step (Support / TNTsim3D Landscape Builder) creates a terrain
object and a texture object which are specially optimized for real-time
interactive 3D simulation. The terrain and texture objects are bundled
together in a Landscape File (.sim).
Before running TNTsim3D, be sure you have installed the
most recent version of DirectX or OpenGL for your version of Microsoft
Windows. Both DirectX and OpenGL enable the fast 3D rendering that TNTsim3D
uses.
Microsoft DirectX 9.0c or newer)

OpenGL
1.2 or newer

Microsoft DirectX is an advanced suite of multimedia APIs (application
programming interfaces) built into Microsoft Windows operating systems.
DirectX provides a standard development platform for Windows-based PCs by
enabling software developers to access specialized hardware features
without having to write hardware-specific code. DirectX was first
introduced in 1995 and is a recognized standard for multimedia application
development on the Windows platform.
DirectX
supports the TNTsim3D optional joystick interface.

OpenGL
is the premier environment for developing portable, interactive 2D and 3D
graphics applications. Since its introduction in 1992, OpenGL has become
the industry's most widely used and supported 2D and 3D graphics
application programming interface (API), bringing thousands of
applications to a wide variety of computer platforms. OpenGL fosters
innovation and speeds application development by incorporating a broad set
of rendering, texture mapping, special effects, and other powerful
visualization functions. Developers can leverage the power of OpenGL
across all popular desktop and workstation platforms, ensuring wide
application deployment.

You may also encounter problems
unless you have the most recent drivers for your video display board.
(Visit the manufacturer's web site and download the most recent drivers.)
You can launch TNTsim3D from its
desktop icon or double-click on any .sim file.
