Re: How to run BAO Tower?

BTW, side question about mounted hard disk images in DOSBox: For the hell of it I ran Scandisk, and it reported lost clusters in the mounted/booted hard disk image. Note that I didn't let Scandisk fix them, but is it safe/recommended to let Scandisk fix errors that it finds in a hard disk image? …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

Yes, it's definitely one of a kind (just like Tracon/Tracon II/ATC for DOS and Windows) :) Wesson International really made some nice software products, and back in the day all of the above mentioned sims (including Tower) were used for real-world controller training. Yeah, Tower could connect to …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

MANY MANY thanks for all of the help, hail-to-the-ryzen! :) I FINALLY got it to work, WOOHOO!!!! :) :) :) :) Based on the file list that you posted, apparently my problem was the drivers that I had downloaded. I stumbled upon the attached file of drivers, and they work! I mounted the hard disk image …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

Many thanks for the help! :) I actually was able to transfer the files after I posted my previous message, similar to how you described. Mounting a local directory as a drive letter, imgmount-ing the hard disk image, and then starting DOSBox WITHOUT booting that hard disk image. Like that I was able …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

MANY thanks for all of the info, hail-to-the-ryzen! :) I'm thinking that my issue might be the SB16 driver for Windows. I'm trying to install the SB2 driver, but the hard disk image doesn't have all of the original installation files for W31. Is there a way to mount a local hard drive directory as a …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

P.S. A quick side note (a strange thing): Tower actually has the exact same issues when trying to run it under Windows 10 that I described in my post above with the screenshots (two posts above)... the "Error reading airport information" error message, and then a CTD when trying to start a scenario. …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

(Update) I tried a bootable hard disk image for DOSBox of Tower. It includes a pre-installed version of MS-DOS v6.22, Windows 3.1 (with an S3 854 SVGA video driver installed, and W31 SB16 sound card drivers), and Tower. Tower actually starts and runs when ran like this, in a bootable hard disk image …

Re: How to run BAO Tower?

If it's known to work in enhanced-mode Win3 with Win32s (which only supports a subset of the Win32 API) then try the cputype=486_slow or cputype=pentium_slow setting in DOSBox, and maybe memsize=31 if it's from the late 90's. Many thanks for the help, but it still does the same thing. I already had …

Re: Flight Simulator 2000 Instrument Panels Issue

in Windows
Just an update: I noticed that I only experienced the problem while in fullscreen mode. If you put FS2000 in fullscreen windowed mode, the instrument panel and 3D view looked just fine. The problem with this is who the heck wants to see a WinDoZE titlebar while flying LOL?! I experimented with …

SHARE.EXE in Windows 3.11 WFWG under DOSBox

I'm trying to run a program for Microsoft Flight Simulator 5, the ATC Workshop that comes with the FS5 addon Flight Shop. ATC workshop allows you to create flight "adventures" for FS5 that are totally air traffic controlled. When I run the utility (FSFSADV.EXE) in Windows 3.11 under DOSBox I get an …

Flight Simulator 2000 Instrument Panels Issue

in Windows
I'm running Windows 10 and Flight Simulator 2000 (Professional Edition, if that matters). A problem that I'm having is that the top edge of the instrument panel is BEHIND the main 3D view window. I can resize the instrument panel, or the main 3D view window, but of course that looks really bad. (See …
