Thanks for the offer Pescador, much appreciated. Also, thank you too for your service. Just hit my 20 years, so time to think about what i want to do when I grow up now, a bit daunting.

No problem Matt. Good to hear from another Vet that's been to Panama. Stay safe and congrats on your 20 years. It takes a very special person to do 20 years.

Bought FD when it first came out and got FD Gold soon after. I still fly it occasionally under DOSBOX on Wxp. Best F14 sim ever made with great A/B modeled cockpit. Great campaigns also!

If anyone still flying this sim is looking for additional missions, I have Bosnia, Iraq, Vietnam, etc. 60+ total I would be glad to send.

Also have the Player's Guide to Fleet Defender by Robin G. Kim and the F14DECOD utility which lets you open all campaign missions and save them as single missions in the mission builder. Great utility! I used it to help me re-do the three North Cape campaigns in Janes F18.

Email me at: lee61156@aol.com and tell me which of these items you want me to send.

Please don't post a request on this thread. I will only respond to an email.

Major Dragon. How were you able to fix the sound problem using DosBox? I also run XP but was unable to run FD correctly with the sound being the major issue. Do you think FD Gold would be easier to run than the regular FD on XP SP2 Home Edition? Thanks for chiming in. I really appreciate it. I might have to give FD another try using DosBox.

I have my FD game sound configured for SB Pro Later address 220, IRQ 7 DMA 1

My DOSBOX is configured as follows:

sbtype=sb16
sbbase=220
irq=7
dma=1
hdma=5
sbmixer=true
oplmode=auto
oplemu=default
oplrate=22050

Works fine.
