From what I understand that RenderWare 3 has support for OpenGL, Direct3D,
and Glide. I've seen posts where people say they want to switch totally to
OpenGL (or another API), but what about an option? A lot like games with
multiple multiple APIs function the same way. Unreal, for instance, has
support for 3dfx Glide, Microsoft Direct3D, OpenGL, and some others.

Roland has mentioned at Tech Talk that he would like to add OGL support. I think it would probably work best as an option, yes. This would also allow AW to run on those computers without DX7 (or whatever is needed to run 3.0-up)

I'm relatively certain the intention is to add OpenGL support as an
option... I don't think there was ever any consideration of changing to
OpenGL and removing Direct3D. At least, there shouldn't be... that would be
totally absurd. Aside from increasing the number of well-supported cards,
OpenGL should (assuming it's implemented correctly) provide a significant
boost in performance on most 3D cards (I'm not just talking a few FPS... if
used correctly, the differences between OpenGL and D3D can be quite
dramatic).
