Spectre Buddy! Long time no see!! How the heck are you? We've missed you. Any chance you might have some time for various simming ventures this summer?

Does anyone else got virus / trojan warnings on all the patches downloaded from speichts ?? Just to clarify, the patches (other than the no-CD-exe) are not hosted on my site, but rather include links to the original patches on the EA Games FTP server. Those EA patches are 100% clean. The No-CD-exe gives false virus reports, but now that the ISO method has been proven to work much better, I've decided to no longer promote the No-CD.exe and have removed it's link from my site.

I've finally gotten this to work on my XP system, but I can't seem to get the ISO disk image to work, made disk images which mount as H and I drives but Longbow doesn't see these drives and will not access the ISO images. What other drive letters do you have free? I used F.

Ohmygod ironic. The ISOs I downloaded were bugged. I guess that's fair play for not looking for them.
End result is that the LB2.exe was infected with something. Can I get a replacement .exe to enjoy this classic? The rest of the install seems to be alright.

Kobura - might be ok. IF you have an av program reporting that the longbow executable is a trojan or something similar...a number of us get that. I use my original disks and the official patches, and have to turn off my AV to run Longbow. Not unusual I understand. But of course you have to be the judge of such things on your machine.

Hi Flyboy: Check yur PM.... As for the ACT file, I used the one called PositiveGs-database.zip. I tried using the WAC-LB2.ZIP but the link doesn't seem to be valid any longer (it just took me to a web-site with a black page). Please let me know....

Punisher - thanks for noticing that that file was missing, I'll fix it ASAP.
jaegermeister - you just have to upload the file somewhere then paste the link in here, you can't actually attach files and send them like with e-mail.
EDIT: Link fixed! The file was already uploaded, but it was a simple case of the file extension being uppercase (.ZIP) and the link looking for lowercase (.zip). Damn case-sensitive servers!

Flyboy, I owe you everything. I had a friend look up Longbow2 on Usenet and get me some isos, then discovered just yesterday your 7/Vista fix.
No CPU timing issues No CTD/black screen of lockup death
It's amazing! Also I'm running Comodo's firewall and it works fine, seem to remember that being an issue with someone(s).
I regret to say I'm not as skilled at Advanced Avionics and Advanced Flight Controls as I was when I first played this game about twelve years ago when I was less than ten
But I'm happily learning. I'd be honored to seed the torrent so others can enjoy this game! And someday I hope to fly with others.

I tried to follow install instructions for XP, but every time I try to enter the game I get a CTD with an error of
AppName: lb2.exe AppVer: 2.0.9.0 ModName: wrapdll.dle ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000c896c
Any idea please?

Have Windows XP Pro 3d service pack on a Dual Core with 3Gb RAM with a Nvidia Gforce 9600. Will really like to get some help as the new Apache sim in development made me hungry of rotor flights.
