I don't have an ef2000.exe, I do have _ef2000.exe but same result as config.exe.

I believe the automatically generated campaign missions use all the info in mission.cfg and should thus be easier to change than did.dat.
Maybe thats what I did 10 years ago...

In truth I'm just doing this out of interest - I wont be playing the game, it was amazing in the late 20th century but things have moved on.
Rather put some time into building good TEs for the Tornado in Free Falcon...

I did a find and replace operation to swap 'NATO' with 'UK' in the 'mission.cfg' file, but after starting/exiting a mission everything had been changed back to 'NATO' again.
Didn't have the time to try anything else.

I've never really played EF2000 in anger since it was F-22 ADF which really got me going with flight sims. So, if I can get EF2000 running smoothly with the Graphics+ version,..and some time....I can maybe see what the fuss was about in 1995.

We played with EF2000 last night and got Multiplayer working with Graphics+ Via DOSBOX-SVN and the DOSBOX built in IPX emulation.

Some control issues within the game itself, (throttle/rudders especially) and in my older version of DOSBOX-SVN it was very choppy. The 640x400 graphics pumped up to a 1680x1050 22" monitor didn't look very good. Game looked very nice in a window sized to the proper resolution, but flying that way was rather unsatisfying.

For me it sort of came under the heading of "Let's see if we can do this" but not necessarily something I might fly on a regular basis.

I guess you (mikew) have been through the same learning curve and gotten the MP working. Dosbox really is an amazing piece of kit! I wish it were that easy to emulate IPX with Windows! Hamachi seems to have gotten progressively WORSE over the years...maybe in an attempt to stop gamers clogging up their servers with the FREE versions so they can support their paying customers with a pseudo-VPN solution.

Back to the topic: I like the RAF Roundels (still present in DOS versions and SEF2000). Was disappointed that they swapped them for USAF markings in V2.0 Windows version.

Thats what we are trying to fix!
If we've swapped them for USAF above, its just to test the process.

Yes, I know.. just adding my voice to the crowd

A major advantage to using the modded dosbox SVN (latest version for best performance) is the vastly improved rendering of the terrain. This is of course using the 3Dfx Graphics+ version. The Windows and plain DOS versions display large pixels for the ground terrain textures. These are gone in the 3Dfx version. But to run this on a modern direct x computer, you do need the modded dosbox. mikew has linked to it, as he indicated earlier.

Recluse, those control issues were gone when Neph hosted. Unclear why, but it cleared up once the full connectivity in the campaign was present. That first time around, it was clear that a number of things were amok, including on my end, the graphics display. Ran fine on all counts later. Apart from Neph and I getting blasted out of the sky at our target by the stinking OPFOR - clearly soemthing is drastically wrong with a sim that permits THAT to happen ;-)

Wow interesting info and findings. Basicaly i use DOS version cos it works flawlesly in dosbox 0.74. Super EF2000 cant reconginse my USB stick well and have speed problems. It runs so fast. None of this problems exist in DOSBOX. I found fixed speed cyxle around 130000 is right for hires mode. Finaly found preinstalled DOS UK EF-2000 + Tatcom so now i have EF2000s with RAF roundels (Yeah as you said all other NATO ones have RAF roundels too, F-15 and so on) I will try some your hex edit findings. Thanks, this masterpiece still deserves some attention.
