Wrapping this one up! The above document was very helpful to me. Turns out it's all very simple when you know what you're doing! For anyone else who might be stuck with this, you need to copy three files from your SoundBlaster install - 1) SBTALK.BAT, 2) SBTALKER.EXE and 3) REMOVE.EXE. Drop these …

Thank you for the suggestion. I can get a resolution of 640x400 working just fine using the S3 driver so if I want that resolution, I can use the S3 driver. However there are only 3 driver options available for 800x600 resolution, and the vesa compatible driver isn't one of them.

Hi all, For those following along, or those that run into this same problem at some point in the future, I've come across an SGA help file document authored by Mike Barrs and updated by Robert M. MacKay on 9 March 1992, originally hosted on the Compuserve Flight Simulation Forum. I was able to get a …

Hi all, I failed to mention in my previous post that I have had success with applying the Nomissoft 3D Advanced Graphics System (AGS) to Flight Assignment: Airline Transport Pilot Revision E (FA: ATP) at a resolution of 640x400. Of the Graphics Board options in the installer, the two relevant …

Hi all, No resolution yet, but a little progress I think. I tried this in an 86-Box build with MS-DOS 6.22. Within this environment, I think the SGA install was better able to detect a Sound Blaster card, because it wound up copying some files into the FLTSIM4 installation directory. The files it …

Hi all, I've been fooling around with applying the Nomissoft 3D Advanced Graphics System (AGS) to Flight Assignment: Airline Transport Pilot Revision E (FA: ATP) in order to run at a resolution of 800x600. I'm using the svga_S3 video display option (although I have tried fooling around with svga_ati …

Hi all, I just ran a quick test, removing the blaster.drv from my FLTSIM4 folder and trying to run things. Same as before - the digital sounds are working fine (a confirmation that it is using the driver found in the BLASTER folder?) but locks up when any speech is initiated. So no cigar there. :( …

Hi all, I currently have Microsoft Flight Simulator 4 installed, with the Mallard add-on Sound, Graphics and Aircraft (SGA) upgrade running in DosBox 0.74 with the D-Fend reloaded front end. (I also have Aircraft & Scenery Designer, as well as Aircraft & Adventure Factory installed). The Mallard SGA …

ripsaw8080, that's done the trick!! You've made me a very happy man! Out of curiosity, how common is this 'problem' in older games, and will this noarcbit.com program correct this same problem every time? Or has this been coded specifically for the FS5.1 problem? Thanks again! Trent

Hi all, I've come across a frustrating problem trying to activate Performance Boosters within Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.1 (CD-ROM version), running in DoxBox 0.74. Essentially, a number of XXXXCACH folders exist within the FLTSIM5\CACHE directory corresponding to certain scenery areas.The XXXX …
