Guides on emulating older games
Found this on the Web, but couldn't play it on SheepShaver.
"The game features a wider range of aircraft than it did a couple years back and now lists the Sopwith Camel, Fokker Dr1, Albatross Dva, SE5a, Spad VII, Spad XIII, Fokker DVII, Bristol F2B, Halberstadt CLII and the LZ30 Zeppelin among its inventory. Most innovative and impressive is the Zeppelin insomuch as you can actually fly the thing!
Dawn of Aces is a great World War I flight sim that unfortunately seems to have been overlooked by many of those who enjoy flying the faster rides of the World War II era to the present. "
1.) Install the game
2.) Run the update for 2.75
3.) Copy the DOA 1024 cockpits into the "cockpit" folder.
Enjoy the game in 1024 x 768

Played it back in the days, and indeed remember I could play offline against Bots (like in Warbirds 2.77) as mentioned here :

"You can also play offline against AI driven opponents or use its "Head to Head" option to play against a friend via lan, modem or IP address."
But trying now with this one, which seems to be the last version, I can’t get opponents to appear in the game… :/
Hehe, 100% correct. I remember buying 64MB (4 x 16MB sticks) for my IIci, £2021. And 4 x 4MB sticks for my IIsi, £520. Windows PCs at the same time were still maxed out at 1MB.
And I remember the article on Mac crime in MacUser. Crims would break into designers offices, skip past all the PCs, get to the £5000 Macs open them and just steal the £8000 worth of RAM. Wait for the insurance to pay for the replacement RAM and go back and steal it again.
Back in 1995, 32 MB of RAM was approximately $1000. I thought the RAM requirement may be a mistake, but it's true. It's amazing that any game would use this much memory; F/A-18 Hornet 3.0, a highly detailed game, uses half as much.
thank you, i tried to upload screenshots but it didn't worked with safari and firefox for unknown reasons
Great Game!
THX!
Great find, ive! Thanks. Just added screenshots, manual and sys requirements. Also downloaded the .bin files from the external link and put all files together in one .sit file. Very nice flight sim, ran very well on my iMac G3 under OS 9.2.2
