Jane's Longbow Gold

Longbow Gold combines AH-64D Longbow and Longbow Flash Point Korea and spans three CD-ROMs.

Operating Systems

Longbow Gold works without issues in DOS through Windows 95 and Windows 98. DOSBox is required in order to play on Windows 7 after installation. Longbow Gold experiences a minor slow down in DOSBox while running on GNU/Linux.

Working with DOSBox

Each CD needs to be mounted in DOSBox before playing.

[autoexec]
imgmount e "c:\janes\longbow gold\JLBGCD103F_1.iso" "c:\janes\longbow gold\JLBGCD103F_2.iso" "c:\janes\longbow gold\JLBGCD103F_3.iso" -t iso
mount c c:\janes\longbow gold\
c:\
c:\lbwin.exe

DOSBox shortcut

A short cut can be created to skip the manual mounting. Append the previous commands to the bottom of the .conf file. Create a shortcut and enter this to the target box:

"C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.exe" -conf "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.conf" "C:\Janes\lb.exe"

An alternative method would be to install DOSBox in the Longbow Gold folder and to create a separate configuration file and to have this in the target:

"C:\Janes\dosbox.exe" -jlbg.conf "C:\Janes\lb.exe"

V1.04F Patch

The v1.04F patch fixes speech and flight recorder playback problems.

3Dfx Patch

This patch permanently changes Longbow Gold to support 3Dfx. As a result, Longbow Gold can only be run through Windows.
