- 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".
