Falcon 3.0 System Requirements

From Dennis D. Timmins JR., 2000

I could never get Falcon 3.0 to run in windows... Or Aces of the Pacific for that matter. Luckily, when I installed Windows98 (my computer came with DOS and Windows 3.1), I kept my old Dos 6.22 installed. I then created a boot disk so I could get the memory just right to run Falcon..

In my Autoexec.bat, I have the following lines:

@ECHO OFF

SET GALAXY=A220 I5 D1 K10 P530 T6

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4

PROMPT $P$G

PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\DOS;C:\

SET SOUND=C:\SOUND16A

SET DIRCMD=/O

SET TEMP=C:\

In my Config.sys, I have these lines:

DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS

DOS=HIGH,UMB

DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM MIN=0 D=64

FILES=30

BUFFERS=20

STACKS=9,256

FCBS=1,0

DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.SYS

I hope that helps you get it running! And I've bookmarked your site..

2024: The sim is now available on STEAM and GOG.
