The modifications included herein will allow an RGB
|
|
monitor to show some colours using the Flight Simulator program.
|
|
This modification is not perfect, nor is is very well tested.
|
|
The user should make a copy of their Flight Simulator program
|
|
using their favourite technique. As we know even the most
|
|
obvious methods may elude us. Anyways, one of the bugs is, when
|
|
the user enters the slew mode, the modifications are nullified.
|
|
Basically, the technique is to intercept the disk vector and
|
|
setup a port for the colour display adapter for the needed
|
|
values. I certainly hope, that by disclosing this technique,
|
|
Microsoft doesn't skin my hide. Anyways to modify your extra
|
|
spare disk, boot up debug in DOS 2.0 and type the following:
|
|
|
|
Note: you need a system with at least 96K to use this
|
|
modification as is.

The value 20 a couple of lines up sets up the colours for low
|
|
intensity cyan/magenta/white. Good luck, and may the colours
|
|
be with you!
