Re: Chuck Yeager's Air Combat: The lost 2-joysticks TSR?

I have a THRUSTMASTER ACM joystick card on the way to me. It has two joystick ports. Perhaps that can do the trick you explained. I don't own a splitter cable unfortunately. As long as the card is wired for a joystick "one" and a joystick "two", I think that will do the trick :) One thing to note: …

P.S. Attached is a ZIP with two utilities that you might find useful. JOYCHECK and JOYTEST. JOYCHECK.EXE is pretty extensive with a nice GUI. JOYTEST.EXE is a crude QBasic program of mine from EONS ago. Note that in this one the "Hat" section only functions correctly if a joystick is wired like a CH …

No, I'm running on real hardware, which is why I'd really like that TSR to surface :) Ahhh... yeah, that could be a problem then. Are you running retro or modern hardware? If you have an actual standard sound card gameport, I think that you could use a splitter cable, and plug your joystick into …

Thanks for the info, but I think I'll stick with my AutoHotkey script. It not only does what the TSR can do, but I can also use all of the buttons on my joystick:) BTW, I just read your issue about the joystick problem with those other games mentioned in the thread that you linked to previously. Are …

P.S. Totally off-topic and doesn't have ANYTHING to do with this message thread, but I'm especially proud of my printable templates for my Saitek Pro Flight Throttle Quadrant and my two left and right Thrustmaster MFD Cougers for Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2 that I've been using for years LOL …

So far no luck contacting the author :( I did stumble on an archived version of his old AOL web page here -> https://web.archive.org/web/20080531010947/http://members.aol.com/hbeggenst/cyac.html , but all of the download links are broken. That being said, I've been working on a AutoHotkey script to …

Been playing Chuck Yeager's Air Combat for DOS

I hadn't fired up Chuck Yeager's Air Combat for DOS in eons, and decided to give it a whirl again. It's been a real blast, and I just remembered a screenshot that I uploaded many years ago to Facebook of a snippet of the manual from the Macintosh version. Apparently the Mac version supported …

A million apologies for necro-ing my post from almost a decade ago, but would anyone know of a download link for the afore mentioned "cyac_2j.com" TSR utility? After all of these years I STILL haven't been able to locate a copy. All of my backups have turned up nothing, even the (partial) backup …

"Star Fleet Deluxe Beta" This is an excellent Windows 9x+remake of the old DOS classic "Star Fleet I: The War Begins!" (circa 1985). Unfortunately the author died before the revamped game was completed and sent off to retail. Even though it's beta, the game looks pretty much complete to me... if you …

DOSBox SVN and "Star Fleet I: The War Begins!"

Posted on 2024-07-27, 10:16

I've seen a lot of discussion around the internet about playing the original "Star Fleet I: The War Begins!" under DOSBox. Unfortunately the current release of DOSBox will corrupt your Sequence Number, Ships Status, Star Fleet Personnel, and Service Records files (SEQ.NUM, SF.PER, SRV.RCD). This is …
