| | Running the older sims in DOS |
| | This can be tricky or near impossible! Here are a few hints from Dave Whiteside at Rowan Software on getting Dawn Patrol up and running on newer PC's. |
| | Modern PC's have enough DOS to run this (Win98 is based on DOS). |
| | Dawn Patrol works with a TnT2 (though not in accelerated mode) |
| | There is no way we can upgrade these DOS games to work with modern 3D cards - it would require a great lump of effort to get it to fit in the available memory space and DOS does not speak to D3D |
| | However if you want to try and run it you will need to set up a shortcut to run Dawn Patrol. |
| | to do so :- |
| | create a shortcut to control.exe |
| | change all the memory settings to auto |
| | save that |
| | it should now run in 320x200 |
| | you can get it to run at 640x400 with a bit of fiddling |
| | Flying Corps Gold is a better game. |
