Anthony,
Creating an iso seems pretty extreme. I am not good at this task. Yes,
I did suspect some
noise about DRM/Anti-copy. In truth, I went back to FS2004, because 2
wks using FSX
(FS 2010?) showed me just how much crap M$ packed into a simple install
of 2 patches!
And then there is the huge bloat of stuff/features I will never use! Sheesh!
The good news is that FS2004 works much like my old FS2002. Hell, I got
10yrs out of the
old game! Technology (new vid cards/drivers, cpus, m/b's) finally made
it no longer playable.
Fine.
Yes, I have to park CD#4 in my optical drive to play FS2004.
Somehow, I just thought there was an easy user diddle/patch I could
use to eliminate the CD#4 use. Your point below about 'copy protection'
is crisp and, given the
time period of FS2004, I suppose it is carefully locked down. Nomatter.
I'm back flying again!
Best,
Duncan

Make an iso store on hard drive. Mount iso to play it.

It seems that M$ FS2004 will not play/run w/o CD#4 in the CD player. Fine.
I remember this behavior from years past.
Is there any 'gentle' way to coerce FS2004 to just play/run from where it is
installed?
The run file is fs9.exe. But, my code appears to have sp9.1 in it.
I do not know how to dick with adot_exe file........that's proggie-stuff.......
:(
I have spent many hours searching the forums I used to view, buthave not seen
any
light.
Shucks,
Duncan
