Hi, This is my retro flight sim channel https://www.youtube.com/@darkenedroom There are some showcase playlists to show off optimised emulation settings for particular games (very subjective I know) and links on the vids to various blog posts which can be found on my website here: https://www.tales- …

I've recently been looking for version 1.x of the classic Mac flight sim F/A-18 Hornet. There are a lot of different versions that have been released. It's easy enough the find the classic version (confusing enough listed as v1.1.2 in the game itself) and F/A-18 Hornet 2.0 can be thought of as both …

Again, only sort of related, there an A-10 v1.52b2 patch, part of the readme says: This patch file will update your current version of A-10 Tank Killer to include a new joystick driver which corrects joystick problems, primarily those associated with using a fast computer (i.e. 386/33) with a game …

Not directly related, I can't speak for the rest of them or Red Baron, but I do know a bit about A-10. There's been a least 1 joystick patch for a version prior to v1.5 (last version, additional campaigns) and maybe prior to v1.4. IIRC the joystick patch was just a joystick patch it wasn't given a …

Currently playing some old classic mac retro flight sims F/A-18 Hornet Classic and the follow up version F/A-18 Hornet 2.0, managed to get Classic running under the SheepShaver emulator and Hornet 2.0 under Qemu (m68k). Have them working with my hotas setup and been sticking some vids up on youtube. …

There is a windows port of WC1 and WC2, they were included as part of the 'Kilrathi Saga' collection, which IIRC also included WC3. At one point I believe the Kilrathi Saga was included on a magazine cover disk, way, way back in the past, so if you google 'Kilrathi Saga' you should be able to find …

If you want the optimum falcon experience then it has to be the amiga version and emulation. Had a quick look at WinUAE and in theory it should be possible to use a hotas, although I haven't tried it yet.

If your looking for a hotas combo rather than just a joystick then the Saitek X45 still has Win XP drivers and software available, it's usb and there are even posts on other forums where people have managed to get it working under Win 10 as well with certain games. Mine is second hand but I've had …

I ran a very similar setup back in the day and I think I ended up moving from win98 to win9se and finally to winme and it was always rock solid, never had an issue with winme. It's been years and this is all from memory so might not be 100% right, but I think I had: P2 450 with a 440BX motherboard …

Can't speak specifically to Win98 but I had similar issues trying to play CD audio from my games disks ripped to BIN/CUE on Win10 which I've recently managed to solve. In my limited experience it seems the BIN/CUE has to be on the first CD drive in order to get the cd audio to play. In Win10 you can …

I notice your running on a crt, and you've said you've fiddled with the video settings, but you don't say which ones, but have you tried adjusting the monitor brightness? I know it seems a bit obvious but I've had my fair share of those sort of face palm moments, so just to make sure you've …
