Gamefreak The missiles are very strong on the hardest difficulty setting, they destroy most ship in one hit. On the medium difficulty setting their damage is lower, while on the easy difficulty setting their damage is the lowest. Just set the difficulty down and you should survive the missile.

Orichifunk I found another version a friend gave me, so now it's up and running pretty much perfectly!

However ..

On one mission I can't help but getting hit by a missile. This kills me every time, and I don't know how I counter it?! Flying around doesn't help much since it's homing. Is there a button I can use? I've tried charging my shields to the max, but that doesn't help either. On X-Wing Alliance I remember there being a flare you could release to "trick" the missile, is there anything like this here?

Please help!

Lucullus Went on Google and searched for Dos commands and found this site:

http://www.computerhope.com/msdos.htm

It has a lot of the most common commands and explanations on it along with examples. It's good to have in case you really want to go so far as to install MSDOS on your computer along with XP

Orichifunk Ahh, I understand now. Thanks for making everything so much clearer!! I'll try that when I get home today!

Anything.
You need a CD of Tie Fighter to stay in the CD drive while you start and play the game. Or if you have instead an ISO file, you need to mount it and to keep it mounted so the installed game on HD can find it. You need to either mount the CD drive where your CD is in in DosBox with the command above, or mount the ISO with Daemon Tools, then mount the virtual drive letter that is assigned by Daemon Tools with DosBox. And you can't play the game off the CD or ISO, you need to install it on your HD first.

Orichifunk Sorry, I'm abit confused now. I thought that by mounting a folder on your C: you could "fool" the computer into believing that the folder is actually a CDROM. And yes, I tried Daemon Tools, I tried adding the folder to an ISO file even, but nothing works. Darn! Please tell me what I'm doing wrong! :crazy:

A. J. Raffles Hmm, have you tried the bloody obvious, i.e. Daemon Tools yet?

Gamefreak Your CD-Rom is on your HD in a folder c:\oldies\tief? :whistle:

Orichifunk So basically, the line:mount C C:/ -t cdrom

woud make the game think it's being run from a CDROM? How about installation, will it install it on C:/ even if it's read from the "CDROM"? (sorry if I'm being unclear. I appriciate all your help!)

Edit: I don't understand, it doesn't work. It still tells me that I must run it from the CDROM. What I do is this:

write
mount D C:/Oldies/Tief [my folder] -t cdrom

(note that the [] part isn't there)

and it still gives me the message when I run the installer. What to do? Can I mess around with the configuration files to change any of this? Please help, I really, really want to play this game ..!
