Hi,
Long story short I finally got around to getting F4 AF out of its wrapper and installing it after owning it for about 6 years, was annoyed by looking at the large black border around the monitor, hit Google to find out if there was a way of playing a full screen version and found you, and luckily, my very dusty original F4 disc from the late 90s which still worked.
Whilst I can now get a full screen when flying I’ve got some sound issues that I can’t find a solution for.
I downloaded BMS 4.33 and have updated to U3, which I believe is the extant version. I have had the same audio issues with U1 and U2.
I have no Sidewinder growl, RWR audio or radio chatter. Which is making the game impossible to play as I can’t easily identify hostile ac, have no audio cue that I’ve been locked onto and am firing 'winders blind, (or more accurately deaf).
On the Setup screen on the Game Menu I can get audio outputs for Engine (both internal and external) and Special effects, but get no outputs for anything else (Sidewinder through to Intercom).
I’ve checked the drivers for my Audigy soundcard and Creative are telling me they are up to date. Everything else appears to be working fine, including the ‘music’ on the intro that has taken me back nearly 20 years.
I’m not the most PC literate anymore and had to learn how to Torrent to get U3 installed, so I may need the equivalent of arrows telling me houses get smaller or houses get bigger to solve this, but any help would be very appreciated.
PS, the graphics look superb and I really hope I can get into this, I think I wasted about 3 years of my life with the original F4…
