It is impossible to load gamefile.
Cause - archive flag in file attrbutes is always ON !
Elite loads only those files which have archive flag == OFF !
I can't change this flag with Norton commander !

Did you try Windows Explorer to change attributes?

Dosbox always has this flag turned on.
No matter the real flag.
official it should be turned on once a file is modified 😀

Little you can do. except by changing the source to turn it off by default.

I still don't get it why Elite is so picky about the A attribute. First time i see something like this.

Well maybe it thinks that it's a proof that it's data files weren't modified.
