Aces of the Deep and Win 7?

Well, someone posted a great tip!
Drag the dos game exe onto the dosbox exe and all will be done automatically!
It works!
only problem is that aotd runs in a very small window?
dosbox window only, i can't make window bigger!
workaround to make window bigger?

This may sound stupid, but have you tried Alt+Enter? If you use D-Fend Reloaded, that should work.

Done!

Wondering now about the resolution though, she looks mighty pixelated lol, at 24" wide

Any way to reduce that you think?
Or adjust my resolution on monitor first, before running game?

With D-Fend Reloaded they let you play around with the resolution. You might have to test a few of them, I tried getting a higher rez but nothing really worked. I found that setting it to "original resolution" was the best anyways.

Man, this thread makes me feel like making myself a coffee and loading up AOD...

Feuer Frei!,

After mounting your c drive, did you remember to change the drive from Z to C?

Just asking, because DosBox starts opens with the Z: drive active, and sometimes I am in a hurry and I forget to change the drive to c:

So, of course, it won't find what I am looking for on the Z: drive.
