The first time I tried this game, I think that the designers are trying to kill the player by making the missions so complex and the aircraft so realistic to fly. I regret that I bought this product! I uninstalled the program but retained the disks and manuals Early last year I read a book 'Gulf Air War: Debrief' that, among others, described the missions flown by British Tornado Aircrews. Only after reading the book that I begun realizing that the game really is an immense product. I reinstalled the game (fortunately the disks aren't damaged) and I still enjoyed the product until now. In February I heard that Tornado is re-released in CD format, with a new Theater of Operations: Desert Storm. I think this must be a great re-release. How unfortunate, because I haven't got any CD-ROM drive in my system. Can anybody who own this version tell me wether this new release is good (the gameplay, I mean)? From the mails I read in this Hitech Digest, it seem that this new release has so many problems (technically, not the gameplay). Thanks, Iwan Setyawan, obelix@hme.ee.itb.ac.id ------------------------------- From: Jack Morrison Subject: Help with Gunship 2000? I have the original GS2000 and have been trying to run it on my new P90. I got the v6 patch, which adds rudder pedal control and (supposedly) Sound blaster support - so it should fix one of the two things I really dislike about this game: the way the simulation freezes during digitized sound output. Unfortunately, I can't get *any* sound to work now (except sometimes during the opening screens), whether I choose SB or Adlib in setup. Before patching, the sound was ok. Any suggestions? I have a PAS-16 doing SB emulation (I've tried IRQ 5 and 7). (What's the other thing I dislike, you ask? The very first training mission sends you to attack ground targets that are all over you before you're within range to fire back. The training missions in Comanche were much better for gradually introducing weapons and tactics.) --- "How am I typing?
