Retro Video Jane's Fighters Antology (Sim)

[0BornofDesire0]

I noticed there is a new game called "J.A.S.F. Janes Advanced Strike Fighters"

Is that any good? I've heard bad things about it.

[DirtyBird760]

that game was awesome

[oODeeJayTomOo]

I miss those cold winter days when I used to fake beeing sick and miss school to stay home and play this game...those days I used to think: the game is awesome wish the graphics were too, with games nowdays I think: the graphics are awesome wish the game was too.

[adamcase87]

i still fly on win 95

[simpsonfan13]

Anyone know where I can get this now-a-days? Amazon wants over

$100 for a new copy.

[USARMz]

i miss this game sooooo much! does it work on windows 7?

[GregCrack]

@USARMz , sorry no, it works not really good on win7, I have a Dual-Boot system with WinXP and Win7, this is a good choice for gamers!

[USARMz]

@GregCrack

how about if you use compatability mode on windows 7? will it run then?

[GregCrack]

@USARMz , no chance, you'll receive graphic errors.

But I have a Nvidia 8800 GT, maybe with radeon cards it will work, try it out!

[Andokool12]

@GregCrack Yeah doesn't work too well with ATi cards either. I managed to get the right compatibility settings so the colours were fine on the menu and it launched okay, but when I actually started a mission the colours would get all weird again, affecting the menus as well.

[Wellwellwellwell1]

@GregCrack Turn off explorer, then run the executable. It'll work. I'm doing it right now.

[BrotherToTheFox]

@USARMz Yeah it works in compatability mode It's just got a lot of color errors

[ethraves]

@USARMz It works on win7, just create a bat file with the following lines:

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe

cd C:\JANES\Fighters Anthology

FA.EXE

pause

start explorer.exe

exit

Of course, click the bat file instead of the exe to run FA.

[WieselVindiesel]

I am the world famous OMEGAREDXS, nemesis of the REDKNIGHTS,, I remember this game way back, I used to beat the shit out of this team, wayback when JANES was online

[WieselVindiesel]

ARMORGST....if you read this, drop me a line...

[odog575]

yea miss the hell outta this game!!!! and my old squad mates

[jonesmbones]

Man I miss these games. I haven't tried to get FA to work on Windows 7, but I just might try. Big thumbs up for the vid, lots of great memories!

[ingwersengrady]

ahhhh the Quick Mission builder...I swear I must have tallied about 1000 hours with that alone. What a great game.

[ody62]

@ingwersengrady agreed, I remade the entire vietnam war mission at night, with AAA all over the place, and a squad of bombers to hit a target, it looked amazing. It sucks how htey dont make games like this anymore

[NFSfreak91210]

hey guys i cant seem to toggle my view to see my cockpit, which pisses me off. and it also seems like my instrument orientation is different. could someone help?

[DudeNumberOnePlus]

@NFSfreak91210 probably youre playin in 1024x768, cockpits only at 640x480 or 800x600. but it does suck ass, only obstucts view.

[Golfinnder]

hey man which jane´s game run on XP? does this Fighters anthology run on it?

[GregCrack]

@Golfinnder, yes, Fightersd Antholgy runs great on Win XP !

[hnemify]

@Golfinnder With patches, USNF 97 and ATF (windows version) also runs on XP. Without (official patches, anyway) patches, they crash to desktop when the flight starts. Even in windows 98, by the way.

[MrAlbanianboss]

can anyone post a video with aurora gameplay

[PhatFarm60]

I used to play the everloving shit out of this! Wow, it looks so...dated now

[Hamster307]

for some reason i can never get a cockpit to show up. It's always just the hud, but no cock pit.

[GregCrack]

@Hamster307

You have to reduce the resolution to 800x600, then you can see the cockpit !

[Hamster307]

@GregCrack

Oh god, thank you so much!

I would have never ever guessed!

[alvin755]

this is my fav game of all time

[naturallyfunny]

For USNF'97 and USNFGOLD (or any older DOS) game - use DOSBox 0.73 (shareware) to run it in a shell. I still play USNFGOLD this way with NO mods or patches. I tried lot of other ways until coming across DOSBox. Takes a time or two to understand how to mount the drives. i.e., if your game is in drive E:\ and cd/dvdrom is F:\ . You type "mount c: e:\" for game and "mount d: f:\ -t cdrom". Then change from native z: by typing "c:", then "cd" to game DIR, then "USNF" for .exe. Have Fun!

[GregCrack]

Simply use Fighters Anthology (contains USNF'97 & ATF), it runs great under WinXP !

[3dwardXP]

install patch 1.02 search for it no slow down program should be needed for windows xp, if you vista i dunno.....

in XP just select compatibility for windows 95, after the patch is installed it runs proper speed (silky smooth even better then back in the day for me)

there is an issue with choppy mouse in menus but its never more then a slight annoyance.

the game is terrific and was very pleased to have it running properly in xp... amazing the best advice given was to download a slow down prog.

[Drew927]

i installed this on my comp after not playing it for 10 years . the games runs twice as fast for some reason. its like my computer cant slow its self down to the game

[GregCrack]

Use the Tool "Slowdown" to make your pc slower for this game !

[Drew927]

lol seriously? how i do that

[GregCrack]

It's a simple tool, try it !

[Raverouso]

I have some very fond memories of this game... I might dig out my copy.. I know its around here somewhere...

[DonLduk]

I preffer the USNF's music.

[JonisKanonis]

Yeah me too! Is there anyway to just get the music?

[djphatd]

Yeah dude I tltally love and miss USNF music!!!! The intro music was so tight, I still remember it in my head, I wish there was some way to get it.....

[odog510]

anybody still fly this game??

[Ryoku75]

I still fly it here and there.

[Nocito87]

you can watch some USNF action in my videos with the great old tunes.

[beilei]

I just digged out my game and the boook~

[stormfox1]

[cable124]

[Duchovicius666]
