Default gun bug

I'm trying to point game by dropping my speed and loitering but the gun always eventually bugs up and the graphics go haywire.

Oh well, always top out around 1000 points and am lucky to make it back with the graphics corruption.

Hi. I've been bugged since I found this game on the net as I remembered playing it with adlib sounds... and it seems that there were differente versionsof them and I had the 1990 one, 435.05 . Of course the floppies of this game are absolutely lost (yes, I threw out games out to the trash back then) and I can't find this updated version. Anywhere.

Help.

And thanks!

Are you sure it's not F-117A Stealth Fighter 2.0--which is almost more like a remake than a sequel?

No! I know both games pretty well (actually, back them I dreamt about f117, that game that is like f19, but with even more colours!)

There are even youtubes about what I talked about:

There is a blog that mention this last update

http://floppygame.blogspot.co.uk/201...3504-1989.html

And mobygames has some screenshots specific to this later versions

I only know MPS released a free update to change the appearance of the plane to that of F-117A after it was declassified.

(hello, I recovered my username)

I really don't know that, but I found a workaround to activate the adlib sound in F-19, that makes it a much more comfortable game: take the ASOUND.EXE from F15 Strike Eagle II, and run the game typing

f19 /aa

Tadaa. Adlib sound. Cacophonic adlib sound, but adlib after all.

Adding more info:

As I obsessed with this, I asked in other "abandonware" forums. In one of them one guy had three different versions of F-19. I copypaste the differences between each version, taken from the readme:

F-19 Stealth Fighter
Version 435.04, 5/16/89
Copyright (c) MicroProse Software, 1988. All rights reserved.


Changes for Version 4
---------------------


The promotion sequence has been corrected and now agrees with the manual.

The lockup on certain clones, particularly Lazers, has been fixed.

The divide overflow problem on certain clones/joystick cards has been fixed.

Mobile SAMs are now treated as SAMs (as documented) and not as bunkers.

A low altitude pull-up warning has been added to Realistic flight.

Missions with carrier landings and takeoffs work.

The autopilot problem associated with wide-angle views has been corrected.

CGA cockpit color usage has been improved.

The AdLib sound board is now supported.

Tandy sounds have been improved.

The Carlsbad bridge under the mountain has been fixed.

The Alt-H control for the Pitch Ladder has been added.

-----------

F-19 Stealth Fighter
Version 435.02, 11/10/88
Copyright (c) MicroProse Software, 1988. All rights reserved.

1) Please note the following color changes to
the CGA 4-color Satellite/Radar Map.

CGA 4-color only
----------------
Flickering White Dot Your Aircraft
Black Dot Mission Objective on ground
Blinking Blue/Black Dot Mission Objective in air
Blinking Blue/Red Dot Other aircraft
Black Dot Ground Radar
Blinking White Dot Enemy missile
Dotted Line Pulse Radar
Solid Line Doppler Radar
White Dot Take Off and Landing locations


2) F-19 now supports the PC-compatible sound/game board produced by
Innovation. If you have this board, copy the file BSOUND.EXE from Disk B
to your copy of Disk A. If your copy of the A disk is a 360K 5 1/4" floppy,
then you must erase both ISOUND.EXE (the standard IBM sounds) and
TSOUND.EXE (the Tandy sounds) to make room for BSOUND.EXE. Finally,
whenever you load F-19, load it with "F19 /AB", which invokes the BSOUND
file.

Information about the board is available from Innovation, 1325 Juniper St.
Cleveland, WI. 53015 (414) 693-3416.
