It will probably work without problems in situations where there is only single-user access to files . File corruption can occur in multi-user situations because the guards to prevent it are absent.

One thing that I hadn't tried yet though, I'll have to give that a test as well: ATC Workshop comes with a database import utility to import new airports and navigation aids data into the database... that would also be written to the FSFSDB.MDB and FSFSLOCK.MDA files I'm sure. I've done a bit for …

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 will only work if you boot real DOS in DOSBox, it does not work in the internal emulation of DOS. In the Win3.x guide in the guides section of the forum you can find FAKESHAR.COM which may satisfy the application's check for SHARE.EXE, but as its name implies it does not actually provide …

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 …

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 …

Thanks for the info, folks 😀 Yeah, I had a hunch that they created video for their commercial, but wasn't sure. An yes, that "Halley's Comet" game looks quite similar.
