Comanche: Maximum Overkill Demo
GETTING THE DEMO TO RUN
This Demo Requires a 386/486 computer.
This Demo Requires 4 Megabytes of Memory. In general, 500K of
conventional memory and 3 Megabytes of XMS memory. This Demo
will not work with EMS emulators such as 386MAX, QEMM386 and
EMM386. These drivers must be removed from your CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files, or you should re-boot from a normal boot disk.
To make a boot disk, place a blank disk in drive a: and type
FORMAT A:/S.
If you have QEMM386 installed, you may temporally disable it by
pressing ALT during boot up. This should allow you to run the demo.
If the Demo runs out of memory, check your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
for SMARTDRV. Try reducing the size of the SMARTDRV disk cache or
removing it entirely. If you are using DOS 5 with HIMEM.SYS, make sure
the CONFIG.SYS file contains DOS=HIGH.
If the Demo will not work, verify that your CONFIG.SYS file
contains the line DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS. The HIMEM.SYS file
comes with both DOS 5 and WINDOWS. If you created a boot disk,
copy HIMEM.SYS to the boot disk, and create a CONFIG.SYS file with
the line DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
ADJUSTING THE DEMO
To change the sound card ports or to select a new music card,
type SETUP from the cdemo directory.
During the flying part of the demo, press "Esc" to access the
demo menu. Use the arrow keys and "Enter" to select menu functions.
From the menu, you can adjust the detail of the terrain to allow the
demo run more smoothly on a slower machine. Low detail is about
80% faster than high detail, but causes the scenery bounce and sparkle.
Turning off small pixels will double the speed of the demo, but may
look chunky. Turning off clouds can speed up the demo by up to 20%.
The speed and image quality can be balanced to taste.
The menus also allow the Sound and Music volumes to be set to taste.
To make changes permanent, select "Save Menu Settings" from the first
pull down menu. To Exit the DEMO type ALT-Q or select "Exit to DOS".
