Hi, (resurrecting an old thread here instead of creating a new one) I have downloaded an abandonware version of the game, and also a patch (on a separate site) I have no idea to know what version my game is, no readme file, nothing in-game that tells me what version I'm running. The patch consists …

You guys are extremely dedicated. At first I thought most of the experts would ignore this game due to its age and unpopularity. Many thanks!! 😀 Works fine now (on cycles=auto). Don't try this patch along with cycles=max, it will hang at the main menu! 😎

I tried renaming the yeager.cfg file - no change. It then created a new one. if I don't use the BLASTER option, the game won't even use adlib music and will use PC speaker music. At least with Blaster, the game uses adlib to play the music and make the plane engine and weapon noises. I upgraded to …

I have installed 0.73 It's a royal pain to convert each and every one of my 0.72 config files for each of my games to 0.73 And I still can't get Yeager's air combat to have speech in 0.73 About the setting "output"... what's the difference between surface and overlay?

MisteRL, I just hexedit the offsets you recommended, works great now! 1000 cycles seem to be the best (runs more than fast enough, and you get ample time to read messages) The game is much more playable now! 😀 How did you discover those offsets?
