Essential improvements
Needs an 8086 or 8088 CPU
This game needs an 8086 or 8088 CPU. It will not run properly on later model processors. If you run it on a later model CPU, the cockpit view out of the window will be completely garbled. This is because the game relies on a peculiarity of the 8086/8088 IDIV instruction, which got subtly changed in later model processors.
Use DOSBox-X[citation needed] |
---|
Unlike regular DOSBox, DOSBox-X supports the 8086 CPU type and works with this game. Be sure to set "cputype=8086" |
Black and white only
CGA composite[citation needed] |
---|
This game when run with CGA RGBI (or when using an EGA or VGA adapter) will only run in black and white. To run the game in colour, it is necessary to use the composite CGA output. When using DOSBox, this can be accomplished by setting "machine=cga". |
