Hello again warthog77,

I decided not to include pics on my MILNET website as it kind of pays homage to the old military websites that I used to visit where there was a lot of information but not many (if any) pics. I'm talking about the days in the '90s when information was more important than eye candy!

Yes I do know about the 'Helicopter History Site', and thinking of that, where are my screenshots you were going to send me of those German sims in DOSBox for my 'History Of Helicopter Simulations' website? Did you get my e-mail that I sent a while ago asking for them?

The LB2 English Speech files can be found here (61.7Mb). To use, simply extract the files in the ZIP to your LB2 directory and overwrite the old files. Backup the old files before, if you wish to keep them for another time.

Some advice on the Target Hold mode in Comanche Gold... It will hold the EXACT position of targets, so if they move from where you first locked onto them Hellfire's will miss. Also, this mode will only store targets that have already been seen by line-of-sight - so in other words, you have to have seen them (and potentially they saw you) before you can store them. So yes, it's good for armored convoys ONLY if they are NOT moving! And I don't know what game you're playing, but there are NO troops in CG!

Perhaps start a new thread for these later posts, as not pertaining to DI/Hind much any longer?
(Reason - I am keenly interested in any successful procedure to get Hind - and Apache - to run in 3Dfx mode on nvidia modern drivers and graphics card. And lately, even run in non 3dfx mode!)

hi flyboy,

ok - your information on your MILNET is very good and pictures can be find easily in the www :-)
..but it would be very nice to see AIRWOLF with some Maverick's ;-)

..sorry I have not received your email :-( i will try to make some shots but i think this game has some..problems with Dosbox.. BUT i will manage it and give you more information, i swear!

Thanks for the LB2-Speechpack


...yes you are right.. AArrgh.. okay the Apache TADS can not store targets, too- only the Longbow (FCR) can do this, right?


(Tr)Ooops..no comment.. BUT the voxels look like troops..sometimes...

Hi there,

I started simming with Apache Longbow and later Hind and really wanted to give Apache a spin again as soon as I read this thread about Dosbox. Unfortunately, I have a problem:

When I start Apache and enable sound, the sim crashes as soon as I try to start a mission/quickstart/etc. The error reported is:

FATAL *** PRECONDITION (size > 0) && (size <= SOUND_MEMORY_SIZE) \apache\source\sound\sndsetup.c 413 @ 35.76

So I played around a bit with sound settings but I couldn't get it to work. So I digged around in the game folder and found the debug.log file. In there, I found the real reason why stuff is not working:

Cannot open : Load File sound\STOP.RAW 109858d8 0 (\apache\source\sound\sound.c:267) (\library\os\file.c:616) @ 0.37
Cannot open : Load File sound\EXPLOS.RAW 109858d8 0 (\apache\source\sound\sound.c:267) (\library\os\file.c:616) @ 0.37
Cannot open : Load File sound\EXPLOS2.RAW 109858d8 0 (\apache\source\sound\sound.c:267) (\library\os\file.c:616) @ 0.37
...

132 lines complaining about missing sound files... So: I don't have a sound directory in my installation... Should I? Could anyone with a working installation please check and maybe send me the sound files? Thanks in advance!

selle, I don't have a solution for your problem, BUT Apache and Hind both seels at gog.com very cheap and working perfectly on any modern PC, maybe you should give it a try.

Thanks for the help so far here and via private message. I used a version downloaded from myabandonware and it was missing some content. Instead of continuing to fiddle around with it, I decided to go and buy the GOG version, which seems to be complete
