I have both Dawn Patrol and Dawn Patrol: Head to Head. Actually, the reason I purchased the latter is for the manual, since I have lost the box and the manual of the former, before even got any chance to play it seriously.

Anyway, in the game there is a mission named 'The Allies Respond', where you are supposed to protect friendly bombers from Fokker monoplanes.

Well, I have played the mission multiple times, successfully destroyed all enemy fighters, but I always failed the mission, because the bombers just didn't do their job to bomb the ground target, so I eventually took matters into my own hands by destroying the ground target myself.

Turned out the ground target was a truck convoy, as shown on the picture above. Destroying the convoy isn't really that hard. In fact, it only took me two passes.

So, what's the problem, them? The problem is that you need to see the map (as shown above) by pressing M, to find the ground target, which is market by a red square on the map. And in Dawn Patrol: Head to Head, the M key just does not work, so there is no way in hell to finish the damn mission in Dawn Patrol: Head to Head.

However, the M key works on the plain Dawn Patrol, that I eventually revert to it and eschew the Head to Head version, just to finish the mission.

I'm using DOSBOX .074 (the conf file is attached below). I haven't got the chance to play it on a real DOS PC. I just wonder though, have anyone experienced it too?

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
