Something's wrong with it
Someone already pointed out that the game is CPU-speed sensitive and with dosbox emulation it plays differently than it used to on plain... well, dos box. Also it seems to be way worse performing than it used to. Maybe there is something in the way it was programmed that doesn't play very well with dosbox. But there is also something else I don't recall back from the day - there are several missions where your opponents appear out of nowhere very close to you, sometimes even directly on your tail. In some spots, for example, they always appear some 2-3 kilometers directly in front of you regardless of which direction your airplane is pointing. Every single time as you shoot one pair, the moment the second aircraft of that pair crashes another two airplanes are conjured out of thin air directly in front of you (and facing you of course). Sometimes you can "cheat" that by predicting that and pointing your nose down so they don't spawn since they'd have to spawn underground. But there are also points where you use autopilot and it disengages in a point where you have two airplanes in front of you and two on your tail. Ridiculous. And that's a pitty because I remember that I loved this game back when it came out.
Is this helpful to you?
