Mounted the image with Daemon, then mounted it as a cd "D" drive in dosbox - ran Tico bat in dosbox. All went well. Can proceed to second mission as time permits. Kind of interesting alternate, simpler world of "Harpoon" that you could dip into without the full complexity and heavy lifting of "Harpoon."

The missile launch videos never showed for every instance. Just every 2 or 3, even back when I played it in Win 98. So that's not an issue.

Can't wait `til I get time to try all this out myself. Thanks for puttin' the time in, guys!

While I admire Harpoon and JFC for their strategic content, I've always been a first person/simulator kind myself. Harpoon is hard for me to relish, though I enjoy the challenge. JFC is closer with the prettier meshes and so forth. But I'd rather be a pilot, squad member, or CO of the USS Bunker Hill.

Funny thing on the Third Person Fleet Commander vs. First Person role: When I first played JFC, I would curse the stupidity of the F/A-18 pilots I would send out to attack ships for always getting shot down before delivering their payloads.

Then when I started flying Janes F/A-18, and I *WAS* that F/A-18 pilot, I had a lot more sympathy for the impossible task I had set them!

Have a window of fun time tonight. Going to give this a shot, now that I've gotten LOMAC pretty much working on the new PC.

Finally had time to sit down and make it work! And it not only works great, I'm getting screenies with the dosbox/mgrab combo. Wow. So glad to have this running again. Completing Mission 5 now (I had backed up my whole game from my old computer).

Yippee-Kay-yay-ker-Splash!

Good grief. Looks like Iran's throwing its whole air force at me.

Looks like I've taken out their entire air force.

There's the Joshan. She must be upgraded. She's knockin' my Harpoons down pretty good. I'll have to swarm her from 3 diff ships n directions.

HOLY CRAP. The Arleigh Burke is sinking!

Wonder if this is the end of the campaign...?

OK, go tot the end of the mission. Took 3+ hours to complete. Wow. Came out victorious though I lost a DDG, but it must have only been a flesh wound cuz it shows up in the next mission. Hmmm. Will post screenies soon as I can.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Thanks Fritz! Interesting reading. Will watch for your next. Glad it is working properly.

I can't get it to launch.. but have a few ideas. Thanks for the post!

SaashimiSim- try the above Dos Box variations- they work perfectly for me.

I Almost got my screenies posted last night, but son ha dother ideas. Will keep trying!

As promised, here are some screenies of this sim. This entry is mostly action shots.

And here are some ship interior "virtual" shots...
