Ok, I recently downloaded a couple of old DOS games and started playing them on my laptop suing the DOSbox emulator. The first game I downloaded was the original Oregon Trail, which runs just fine. The second game I downloaded was an old flight simulator called US Navy Fighters. This game kinda works. I can create custom missions and play quick missions but when I try to start a campaign, I get a message saying that it can't find the CD.
Let me clarify that I DO NOT have the CD for this game anymore. I used to have it years ago but I got rid of it along with my old Windows 95 computer. I had to download this copy off one of the many abandonware sites on the internet.
Anyway, according to Dosbox's help file, you can emulate a virtual CD ROM drive by adding "-t cdrom" to the name of the drive when mounting it.
I did this and I still got the game to load. Once again, I can do quick missions and custom missions. However, this time when I tried to start campaign mode, I got a message telling me that there wasn't enough space on the disk to start a campaign.
I downloaded a second copy of the game from a different website and I am still having the same problem so I know it isn't just damaged files.
Does anybody know what the problem might be and how to fix it?
I found a copy of the game for sale on Ebay but before I go and buy it, I want to see if I can get the copy I already have to work right.
