INSTALLING THE MANUAL
If you install the manual and the game both from Windows
you should encounter no problems, regardless of whether you
have chosen MINIMUM or FULL installation, even if you later
choose to run the game from DOS. However, if you first
install Aces Over Europe from DOS and later install the
manual from Windows, you must be careful to choose the same
size install that you used for the game. The manual is
always run from the CD, so your installation choice will not
affect the operation of the online manual. However,
choosing a different install size when you install the
manual may result in some files being changed and render
Aces Over Europe unplayable. If this should happen, simply
delete the Aces Over Europe files from your hard drive and
reinstall.
ACES OVER EUROPE AND WINDOWS
Aces Over Europe was originally a DOS application, and while
we have provided PIFs and icons to allow you to run under
Windows, some systems will not be able to properly execute
Aces Over Europe from Windows. If you have any problems
running your program under Windows, we highly recommend you
run under DOS. Complete instructions for installing and
running Aces Over Europe under DOS can be found in the
technical support portion of the printed documentation.
MEMORY CONCERNS
Some memory managers may be unable to load both CD ROM drivers
and compression drivers into high memory. Because of this it
may not be possible to free enough conventional memory to run
Aces Over Europe while your CD ROM drive is enabled. It may
be necessary to run Aces Over Europe from a bootdisk that does
not enable your CD ROM drive. Complete instructions are in
the technical support section of the printed documentation.
16 COLOR WINDOWS
We highly recommend that you view the online manual in 256
colors. While the manual supports 16 color systems, the
quality of the artwork will be greatly diminished on these
systems and certain color plates may not be displayed.
Most VGA cards are shipped with appropriate drivers to
support Windows in 256 color mode. Consult your Windows
manual on how to use setup to change video drivers.
THE NEED FOR SPEED
If the frame rate seems too low or the program doesn't
seem to be running smoothly, there are several things to
try. First, if you are running under Windows, try running
Aces Over Europe under DOS, following the instructions found
in the printed documentation. Reducing the detail of the
simulation will also improve frame rate, as will turning
the ground detail "off" during combat. The detail selections
may be called up by pressing F10 at any time from the sim.
Also, smoothness will be increased by sliding the Time Scale
slider slightly to the left. This will slow the overall
time rate of the game slightly, but will decrease the time
that passes between frames and smooth out jumpiness.
NOTEBOOK GAME PORT
AOE supports the Colorado Spectrum Notebook Game Port (NGP).
However, it was found that the initialization code caused
some problems with certain models of Packard Bell and Acer
computers. For this reason AOE is shipped with the NGP
drivers disabled. If you have a NGP and wish to enable
the NGP support, the steps are as follows:
From DOS change directories to your AOE directory.
From the AOE directory, type FIXJOY <ENTER>.
Should this cause problems, or should you want to disable
the NGP for some other reason, support may be removed by
changing to your AOE directory and typing:
FIXJOY U <ENTER>
If you are installing from Windows, you may also do this
by using the RUN command on the FILE menu to run
FIXJOY.BAT after installing AOE in either a MINIMUM or
FULL install.
FOR HELP
Technical help and troubleshooting hints for a variety
of issues are available in the printed documentation
included in this package. Please refer to these hints
should you have any problems installing or running
Aces Over Europe. The address and phone number for additional
technical support, as well as warranty information are
also available in this section.
