bit of a bad question, is it possible to adjust Pioneer to run with older versions of OpenGL? my PC only works with OpenGL 2.1 or so.

Reading on the faq
Quote
2014-11-18 was the last version supporting OpenGL 2

This version should be found there :

https://www.moddb.com/games/pioneer/downloads/pioneer-november-2014-20141128

But in the description it is noted
Quote
New Features
    Update to use OpenGL 3.2 (#3219)
so you may want to either get the version before it :
https://www.moddb.com/games/pioneer/downloads/pioneer-october-2014-mk-ii-20141029

Or try this if you want to use 20141128
Quote
Open your pioneer configuration file, and set: "RendererName=Opengl 2.1". This should allow pioneer to run, provided your hardware supports OpenGL 2.1, which it should if you were able to run Pioneer up until 2014-11-18 when support was dropped
