This guide begins with installation instructions for people who are about to play the game for the first time. To avoid compatibility or memory problems, please take a moment to confirm that your machine matches the system requirements. The basic system requirements are listed on the bottom of the Advanced Tactical Fighters box. A detailed list of system requirements and recommendations are in System Requirements, p. 9 Note: Disk compression of any kind will result in substantially increased load times. Advanced Tactical Fighters has been fully tested with Double Space and Drive Space (the disk compression utilities that shipped with MS-DOS 6.0 and later). We cannot guarantee the compatibility of our games with other disk com- pression utilities. For better performance, use a drive without disk compression.PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES: DOS IMPORTANT: Follow these steps if you do not have Windows *95 installed. Before installing any piece of software, it is critical that your hard drive be in proper working order. Failure to verify this may result in corrupt data. 1. Type ver (Enter) from your C: prompt (C:\>). If you are using DOS version 6.2 or later, it is extremely easy to verify your drive's condition with a few simple commands, If you are using Windows ’95, please see Pre-Installation Procedures: Windows ’95, below. The DOS version you currently have installed will be displayed on the screen. If it says MS-DOS VERSION 6.2 or any version later than that, follow the instructions below. If you are using DOS version 5.0, or are unable to use the commands in Steps 2 and 3, you may need to use other utilities (such as Norton Utilities and Central Point Tools) to check your drive’s condition 2. Type SCANDISK C: (Enter) from your C: prompt. This determines if your drive is in good repair. If any damage is found, you should repair it before continuing. Follow the instructions in your DOS manual 3. Type DEFRAG c: /e Enter) from your C: prompt. This runs a complete defragmentation of your hard drive to ensure all of your data is sorted properly. It also optimizes your system for faster load and access times. PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES: WINDOWS ’95 Before installing any piece of software, it is critical that your hard drive be in prop- er working order. Windows ’95 provides the disk tools SCANDISK and DEFRAG to ensure this is working correctly. Then you should create a shortcut. (You can also create a normal boot disk, but a shortcut is recommended.) 1. First you should run SCANDISK. To activate SCANDISK, left-click on the START button. Move the mouse up and highlight Programs. From Programs a new menu will come up. In that menu select Accessories (usually at the top). Yet another menu will come up — within that menu select System Tools. Finally, high- light ScanDisk and the program will run. Once activated, make sure there is a check mark in the Automatically Fix Errors box and select the hard drive to which you are installing Advanced Tactical Fighters (.e., if you are installing the game on drive C:, make sure C: is highlighted). Once everything is set up correctly click Start to have the program scan the drive and correct any errors. 2. Next, run DEFRAG. In order to activate DEFRAG, go to System Tools (as in previous step). Highlight Disk Defragmenter and the program will run. As with SCANDISK, select the drive to which you are installing Advanced Tactical Fighters and left-click OK. QUICK INSTALL IF YOU’RE USING MS-DOS 1. Turn on your computer. 2. Ifyou're in Windows, close all programs and exit Windows 3. Insert the ATF CD into the CD-ROM drive. 4. Go to your CD-ROM drive (usually D:) and type INSTALL (You need 490K of conventional memory to run the install program.) If you experience trouble, consult Troubleshooting, p. 23. IF YOU’RE USING WINDOWS ‘95 1. Turn on your computer and wait for Windows to load 2. Insert the ATF CD into the CD-ROM drive. 3. If no menu appears, double-click on My Computer and select the CD-ROM Drive. Double-click on the ATF icon. 4. Click INSTALL in the ATF menu. 5.

Video Card. VESA-compliant SVGA (640x480). A local bus or PCI video card is required. Hard Drive. You must have a minimum of 31 MB free on your hard drive (29 for MIDI music, 2 for save games) to install and play this game with MIDI music. You must have a minimum of 63 MB (61 for digital music, 2 for save games) to install and play with digital music. CD-ROM Drive. You must have at least a double-speed CD-ROM drive with a transfer rate of 300,000 bytes/second or higher. Mouse. ATF requires a Microsoft or 100% compatible mouse using Microsoft soft- ware driver version 7.0 or higher or 100% compatible software driver. Memory. ATF uses 490K (501,760 bytes) of conventional RAM (base memory) and 6900K (7,065,600 bytes) of either extended memory (XMS) or expanded memory (EMS). You must have a minimum of 8 megabytes of RAM installed in your machine. MEMORY REQUIREMENTS Advanced Tactical Fighters uses conventional RAM (base memory), plus extended memory (XMS) or expanded (EMS) memory. As long as you have at least 490K available conventional memory, and at least 6900K available XMS or EMS memo- ry, the game should run correctly. If you are unsure about any details regarding the different types of memory, consult your DOS manual To find out how much conventional, XMS or EMS memory you have available: From the DOS prompt, type: MEM (Enter). When the memory information is displayed on the screen, look for the following: . LARGEST EXECUTABLE PROGRAM SIZE — This number indicates how much DOS conventional memory is available. You must have at least 501,760 bytes (490K) listed here. You must have the above listing, along with one of the following two listings . TOTAL EXTENDED (XMS) or TOTAL CONTIGUOUS EXTENDED — This is the amount of extended memory in your computer, You must have at least 7,065,600 bytes (6900K) listed here. : BYTES FREE OF EMS OR FREE EXPANDED (EMS) — This is the amount of expanded memory configured for your system. You must have at least 7,065,600 bytes (6900K) listed here. If you have only 8 MB RAM, we recommend using an XMS setup. If you have more than 8 MB RAM, you can use either an EMS or an XMS setup. but XMS is always preferable.CREATING AN MS-DOS BOOT DISK If you use a lot of your computer’s power to do things besides run the game, it may take a little extra work to get any game running. Using Windows frequently, or hook- ing your computer up to a printer, a network, a modem, a fax machine or any sort of useful external device ties up a lot of what the game expects to be able to use. To ensure maximum performance from Advanced Tactical Fighters, it is recom- mended that you create a boot disk that will optimize your computer specifically for installing and/or running the game. If you are experiencing problems installing and/or running ATF or do not have enough free memory, it will help to create a separate boot disk and decrease the number of memory resident programs (TSRs) you have loaded CHECKING OUT THE FOUNDATION If you’ve got a computer that meets the specifications printed on the bottom edge of the box, you should be able to run the game. First, make sure your computer has everything you need. (You only need to do this if you’re using an MS-DOS boot disk instead of running the game through Windows '95.) 1. Type VER t the DOS prompt (C:\>). ‘The line MS-DOS VERSION 6.0 (or any other version as long as it is 5.0 or later) should appear. If it does, so far so good. If it gives a number less than 5, you won't be able to run the game. If you have an earlier version of DOS, you will have to upgrade before you can play Advanced Tactical Fighters a Type MEM This checks to see if you have enough memory. (See Memory Requirements, p. 9, for details) 3. Check that you have a 100% compatible mouse driver. If you aren’t sure, you can find your mouse driver line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT: a. Type TYPE c:\auTorxec.par and look for any line that includes MOUSE (but not SET MOUSE). b. Write the entire line on paper. c. If you can’t find the line, try typing mou: i the DOS prompt. If you get a line saying MICROSOFT (R) MOUSE DRIVER VERSION , your mouse is 100% compatible. 4. Cheek that you have a 100% compatible sound card. (See System Requirements, p. 9, and Required Sound Card Lines, p. 14.) MAKING A BOOT DISK 1 Put a blank disk into your A: drive. When your computer is turned on, it should look for your “startup” files (CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT) first in your A: drive. If those files aren’t there, it will go on to look in your hard drive. (A boot disk in your B: drive won’t do any good at all; the computer will never look there.) 2, Format the disk in your A: drive. Even if the disk in drive A is already formatted, format it again to make sure that your current operating system is copied to it. Do this from your C: prompt: a. Type Format a: /s (Enter The /s is the command that copies over your system files. 3. Copy your CONFIG.SYS onto your boot disk: This moves the raw material onto your boot disk, so that you can modify it without having to type in all the information that is going to stay the same — like your sound drivers. Note: You do not want to change your hard drive’s CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT. a, Switch to the A: drive by typing a: b. Type COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS A: 4. Modify your CONFIG.SYS: Now it’s time to take out or change all the lines that don’t facilitate game play. a. Type EDIT A:\CONFIG.SYS You're going to want at least seven lines. Some you're going to keep as they already appear, and some you can change slightly. (Any line containing or PowerShare should be removed. It will conflict with the game.) If you have used DOS’s MEM MAKER, your lines may start with /L:, followed by several numbers. If so, try to make all lines resemble the ones listed in this section. b. You should already have a line that looks similar to the one below. If it’s not identical, that’s fine. DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS. Some newer systems also have “plug-and-play” peripherals that use a special driver. If yours does, you'll see the following line (make it the first line in your boot disk CONFIG.SYS). If your system doesn’t have plug-and-play capabilities, do not add this line: DEVICE=C:\PLUGPLAY\DRIVERS\DOS\DWCFGMG.SYSbo! IGH If you don't have one this, type it in. Wt loads your DOS commands into high memory, where they won't compete with the game for room d. FILES=40 If you don't have this one, type it in. If it says something other than 40, change it 10 40. This line sets how many files the game can have open at the same time. The more complex and busy the game, the more things will be happening simultaneously, and therefore the more files will need to be open BUFFERS=40) If you dont have this one, type it in, If it says something other than 40, change it to 40. This line allows the game to make a “holding poo!” for information. Sometimes the game throws more information at your computer than your computer can deal with immediately — this sets how much infor- mation can be put “on hold.” SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\Dos_ /P If you don't have this one, type it in. This line is just a note reminding your computer to look in your hard drive’s DOS directory to find the system commands. DEVICE=C:\call the information about your sound card driver, if any> You want to keep the sound card driver line from your original CONFIG.SYS. This is another important line to keep, because if you don’t mention your sound card driver in your CONFIG.SYS, not only will your game not have sound, but it just won't play for very long, You can spot the sound card driver because it will mention your sound card (for example, if you have a Sound Blaster 16, look for “SB16”). If you can’t find this line, don’t worry about it — unless your game won't play. See Required Sound Card Lines, p. 14, for common sound card lines. i DEVICE=C:\ You want to keep the CD-ROM driver line from your original CONFIG.SYS This is an important line to keep, because it gets your CD-ROM working. Because you already know it works, you'll want to keep this line. It will usually be a line containing the driver name (example: SBCD.SYS) followed by the device name of your CD-ROM (example: /D:MSCD001). The presence of the /D: indicates a CD-ROM driver line. Exit and save your file by typing (Alt [F), then (X), then (¥] 12 Copy your AUTOEXEC.BAT onto your boot disk: (This is similar to the process that you used in Step 3.) Go to the A: drive by typing a: Enier) Type COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT A: (Enter). Modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT: Type EDIT A:\AUTOEXE! You will need the following lines. One or two are going to depend on what your original AUTOEXEC.BAT reads. PROMPT $PSG This is the line that tells your computer to list what subdirectory you're in, and to put the “>” at the end. PATH=C:\DOS- This line tells your computer how to find your DOS commands. Don’t worry if you have other things after “DOS”; they can remain in the line This line tells the computer to look into the correct drive for Advanced Tactical Fighters. If you installed to a different drive, use that letter. This loads your mouse, so you have the option of using it if you want to. Keep it just the way it appears in your original AUTOEXEC.BAT. The word “mouse” appearing in the line is what you're looking for. f You should keep this line from your original AUTOEXEC.BAT, except for two items: delete the /é, /s and /L parameters and change /M:## to /M:15. For example, C:\DOs\MSCDEX.EXE /E /M:5./p:Mscb001 would change to: C:Apos\MSCDEX.EXE /M: 15 /p:mscp001 g. You want 1o keep the sound card driver lines in your original See Required Sound AUTOEXEC.BAT. rd Lines, p. 14, for common sound card lines. 13CD\ANES\ATE h. This tells your computer to go to the directory where Advanced Tactical Fighters is located (if you did not use the default directory, replace “ATF” with the correct directory). ATF i. This starts the game. j. Exit and save this file by typing (ARIF), 7. Use your new boot disk by turning your computer off, waiting ten seconds, inserting your new boot disk in your A: drive and turning the computer back on. The boot disk should run and automatically take you into Advanced Tactical Fighters. (To return to your original setup, simply remove the disk from your A: drive and restart your computer.) Note: If your boot disk doesn't work, contact ORIGIN/EA Product Support, p. 27. INSTALLING VESA-COMPATIBLE DRIVERS Advanced Tactical Fighters requires a 100% VESA-compatible SVGA driver to operate in SVGA 640x480x256-color mode. Some video cards have the nec driver within the hardware BIOS. Customers with these cards need not load any other drivers. Other cards, how ident program (TSR) to be loaded prior to the application being loaded. (The ATI Mach 32, for instance, requires VVESA.COM to enable VESA compatibility.) You must load this driver prior to running ATF. ry May require a memory- If you cannot find a VESA-compatible video driver on your system, contact the card manufacturer. CHANGING SOUND CARD CONFIGURATION If you ever add a sound card (or change from one sound card to another), you must reconfigure the sound card configuration for Advanced Tactical Fighters. To change the sound driver, select CONFIGURE SOUND HARDWA\I om the PREF menu and choose a new driver. (Doing so won’t harm your saved games.) Required Sound Card Lines The following lines are the default lines for these sound your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. The sp. tories lines for your card may vary slightly, so you should use the ones that current- ly exist in your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. If you load the SET BLASTER= environment variable, you must ensure that it is correctly set to match your sound card settings. If you have the wrong settings, you may experience lock- up.

Note: Never turn off your computer while in a shortcut. This can often cause pro- gram loops (i.e., the computer continually reboots) and other complications. To quit a shortcut, return to Windows "95 and then exit via the Shut Down option. CREATING AN ATF SHORTCUT Before you start creating a shortcut, make sure that the Advanced Tactical Fighters CD is in your CD-ROM drive. 0. & as» Sf MM Start Windows 95. Place your mouse cursor on an empty part of your desktop, then right-click Highlight New. Left-click Shortcut from the menu. Tn the blank command line, type c:\JANES\ATF\ATE.BAT.

If you receive an error message, or the machine returns to Windows, double-check the lines CONFIG.SYS FOR MS-DOS MODE and AUTOEXEC.BAT FOR MS-DOS MODE windows in the Advanced Program Settings screen. (To look at these win- dows, right-click on the Shortcut icon, then follow Steps 7-12 on p. 5.) 22 TROUBLESHOOTING START-UP QUESTIONS Q: When I type ATF to begin the game, I receive the message: “You do not have enough conventional memory to run Advanced Tactical Fighters! Please refer to your Install Guide for instructions on making a book disk that will free a total of 490K of memory.” Al: You do not have enough free conventional memory. You need at least 490K free conventional memory, and a total of 8 MB RAM to play ATF (with at least 6900K free) to play the game. Type MEM at the DOS prompt or check with your computer manufacturer to ensure that you have 8 MB installed on your computer. (See Memory Requirements, p. 9.) Try making a boot disk to free up more memory. See Creating an MS-DOS Boot Disk, pp. 10-19. A2: You may have memory allocated to your other applications. See Creating an MS-DOS Boot Disk (pp. 10-19) to fix this problem. Q: When I try to run ATE, I receive the error message: “Buffers too high. Fatal Error TNT. 10013: Insufficient conventional memory for data buffers.” ‘A: You do not have enough free conventional memory to run the game. You need at least 490K free to install the game, and 420K to play. Reduce the number of buffers specified in your CONFIG.SYS to 40 (see p. 12). Then, type MEM at the DOS prompt to see how much conventional memory is available (See Memory Requirements, p. 9.) AUDIO QUESTIONS Q: I have a supported sound card or 100% compatible but | am not getting any sound while playing Advanced Tactical Fighters. Al: Make sure the digital FX setting is correct for your sound card. Check you sound card and its settings then run INSTALL from the directory to which you installed Advanced Tactical Fighters (or in Windows '95, insert the ATF CD into your CD-ROM drive). A2: Make sure you have all of the necessary sound lines for your sound card load- ing in the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Refer to your sound card docu- mentation to determine which lines are necessary for the card to work correctly. A list of the most popular cards and the lines needed to initialize them are given in Changing Sound Card Configuration (pp. 14-19). A3: If your card is one of the supported cards listed in the install program, make sure you disable any emulation software you may have running. Advanced Tactical Fighters provides native support for these cards. ‘A4: If you have a 100% compatible card, check your original configuration against your boot disk configuration to make sure you have all the necessary sound card lines. 23Q: I have loaded all the correct sound lines and still get an error when Lrun Advanced Tactical Fighters. A: Advanced Tactical Fighters can only provide reliable support for those cards listed on the box and in the installation program. Other sound cards may load soft- ware that is not compatible. Consult your sound card manufacturer for more infor- mation and the latest software drivers. MOUSE QUESTIONS Q: When I run Advanced Tactical Fighters, I get the error message: “This program requires a Microsoft-compatible mouse. Please be sure that your mouse is connect- ed to your computer, and you mouse driver program is loaded.” Al: Make sure your mouse is plugged in, and connected to the correct serial port. A2: You may not be loading a DOS-based mouse driver in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS. ATF only recognizes DOS-based drivers. Some multi-tasking environments (such as Windows '95) load their own mouse drivers, which are not compatible with ATF. 3: Your mouse may not be 100% compatible. You need to find and load a DOS- based Microsoft mouse driver version 7.0 or higher. If you do not have a Microsoft mouse driver, contact a local hardware technician to obtain one. JOYSTICK QUESTIONS Q: Why doesn't my joystick work correctly? ‘Al: Make sure the joystick has been calibrated correctly. Before you try to recali- brate, make sure any auto-fire or turbo buttons are turned off, the trim knobs are centered and any throttle and/or other accessories are set in the “neutral” or “off” position, Then, recalibrate the joystick by selecting the CONTROL menu during flight, then selecting one of the following from the STICK sub-menu — KEYBOARD / JOYSTICK / THRUSTMASTER / FLIGHTSTICK PRO. Follow the onscreen instructions. A2: You may have an active joystick port conflict. On most computers, you can find a joystick port on your sound card, your I/O serial card and also on a separate gamecard. Only one joystick port should be active; otherwise, conflicting information will be sent to the program. Consult your sound card, gamecard or /O serial card documentation to ensure that you have only one port enabled and all the other ports disabled. A3: You may need a speed-adjustable gamecard to fine-tune the communication between your joystick and your processor (and thus, the calibration routine). Faster processors can communicate with the joystick faster than Advanced Tactical Fighters expects them to. There are several types of gamecards available, Consult with a hardware technician for the type that’s most convenient for you. 24 Q: How do J install my VFX-1 helmet (or IO glasses)? A: Refer to READ.ME on the ATF CD, under the VFX-1 section. You can access this file by re-running the install program (see READ.ME WINDOWS '95 QUESTIONS Q: I'm running the game in Windows '95, and my sound card is not being detected or is not being detected correctly. A: Certain sound cards are not recognized natively/correctly by Windows ’95. If the correct DOS-based lines and drivers are not provided as a replacement, Advanced Tactical Fighters will not be able to autodetect the sound card correctly. See Changing Sound Card Configuration (p. 14) for more information. This may also be helped by creating a DOS boot disk (see Creating an MS-DOS Boot Disk, pp. 10-19) or a Shortcut to DOS (see Shorteuts, pp. 20-22) Q: When I click on my Shortcut icon, my machine restarts and returns to Windows °95. Why? A: You don’t have your CD-ROM driver or mouse driver installed for DOS. Create a boot disk (see Creating an MS-DOS Boot Disk, pp. 10-19), or edit your Advanced Program Settings window for the Shortcut icon. To open the window: + Right-click on the Shortcut icon. + Left-click on Properties. + Lefi-click on the Program tab. * — Left-click on Advanced. NETWORK QUESTIONS Q: 1 am trying to play a network multi-player game, but Advanced Tactical Fighters is having trouble connecting everybody. Al: Make sure that everyone is in the appropriate multi-player screen (Network Connection screen). Also, make sure that everyone chooses the same NUMBER OF PLAYERS and the same GROUP ID. A2: Ensure that all players have pressed CALL or ANSWER. A3: Advanced Tactical Fighters can connect up to 8 network players for any one gaming session. Make sure everyone who wants to connect is loading the appropri- ate DOS network drivers. If you do not have them, see your network administrator. A4: For more multi-player game details, see Multi-Player Games, pp. 1.18-1.28, in the Reference Manual. 25MODEM QUESTIONS If both computer systems are using high-speed serial cards, then any baud rate will work for modem play. Also, a 16550 Alpha UART chip is recommended for any connection. Any card with a chip slower than that (8250 or 16450 UARTs) requires you to choose slower baud rates or play without sound effects. Q: What is a 16650A UART chip and do I need one? A: UARTS are chips on a serial port that convert byte-wide (character) data into bit- wide (serial) data before it gets sent through a modem. 16550A UARTs have two 16-byte buffers (called FIFOs) that hold characters until the computer is ready to remove or transmit the data in the buffer. 8250 and 16450 UARTs only have I-byte buffers, which cannot store as much information The 16550A chip is most useful under multi-tasking operating systems. It does not transfer information any faster, but it does prevent data from being lost. If your sys- tem performance drops drastically when you transter files across your modem, or if you receive FIFO overrun messages while in a DOS application, a 16550A chip may be helpful. It will also drastically improve your modem performance while playing ATF. Q: I’m playing over a modem or null modem connection. Why does the game seem to pause randomly? Az On systems with slow UART chips (such as the 16450 and 8250), try playing with a lower baud rate selected, or try turning off sound effects in the game. This should reduce the pausing. (See the previous questions for more details.) Q: 1am trying to play a modem multi-player game, but I can’t get my modem to connect. Al: Make sure that you've chosen the correct settings for your modem. See Modem Play, p. 1.21, in the Reference Manual, or refer to your modem documen- tation. A2: Make sure that one player presses ANSWER, and that the other player presses CALL. If you both choose the same button, the modems will not connect. OTHER COMMON QUESTIONS Q: The game runs slowly and/or occasionally locks up. A: You may be loading software that is not compatible with A7F. First try running the game from a boot disk. Refer to Creating an MS-DOS Boot Disk (pp. 10-19) for more information. Also, you may not meet all of the system requirements. Refer to System Requirements (p. 9) to check this possibility. 26 Q: When playing the game, sometimes the game crashes with the error message. “Critical error on file : ". What's wrong? A: Advanced Tactical Fighters is having a problem reading the CD. This can be attributed to a configuration problem, outdated CD-ROM drivers, dirt/dust on the surface of the CD, or a physically damaged CD. Q: My game crashes when I run ATE through Microsoft Windows or Windows NT, IBM OS/2, Desqview or Windows °95. A: Multi-tasking environments such as these often conflict with ATF in their mem- ory usage and other system resources. If you experience difficulty, we recommend that you make a boot disk and run with MS-DOS. Refer to Creating an MS-DOS Boot Disk (pp. 10-19) to fix this problem. Q: Advanced Tactical Fighters still doesn’t work after I made a boot disk and tried the other options in this guide. ‘A: Copy down the exact error code and information the computer displayed and/or an exact description of the problem.
