I just recently bought Falcon 3.0, and I seem to have a recurring problem.  
The computer-controlled F16's just keep getting shot down.  I even watched one
pull a stupid barrel roll at 500 feet and slam himself into the ground, once.
(this was right after takeoff, so I know he hadn't been hit.)

Does anyone have any recommendations for keeping my pilots alive when I'm not
controlling them?  I am already making an effort to route them between SAM
sites, so they stay out of range as much as possible, and am giving them ECM
pods on strike missions...

Oh, yes.  And sometimes, I see that some pilots' dogfighting ability has been
reduced to "5/0".  What in the bloody blue blazes happened to these guys?  A
traumatic UFO sighting, maybe?  I can slowly build them back up in Red Flag,
but what happened?  I suspect it may be a result of bailing out and being
rescued (vs. flying back in one piece), but I don't understand how that would
affect their dogfighting ability.

Thanks in advance for any help,
LC

Battlehawks is available in the UK on it's own. I just bought a copy. It appears to have been

Where is the ring ?  If you visited the castle, I presume you have it 
as you cannot get inside without it. 

O.K. the first thing you should do is to talk to the pawnshop, 
bookshop owners and ferryman till they start repeating themselves.  You 
can pick up a rabbit's foot from the ferryman, a nightingale from the 
pawnshop owner, a poem (coming out of one of the books on a shelf, from 
the bookshop).  But the most important of all is MAP from

Don't knock them off.  Jump over to the left, climb up to the same

It does!  OS/2 has DOS 20.0, you see... :)  Or at least that's what it
looks like, actually it's DOS 5.0 with a few differences.  Anyhow, I
am running Ultima Underworld 2 under OS/2.  There's none of the
fiddling you have to do with the first one, it comes up just fine and
plays just fine.

BTW, it also works great with the GUS SBOS.

It is tough to finish as the Atreides (or Ordos, I would suppose)
because of the Death Hands. You really have to do the save game trick
to survive. The Sonic Tank is extremely powerful because it has the
longest range. You can knock out targets a full screen away if you are
in fastest mode. This allows you to knock out rocket turrets without
getting scratched. Also, if you have scouted out the enemy base before
hand (i.e., you know where all the defensive units are), you can pick
off the defenders one by one, since they don't come at you until you
get closer to them.

I agree.  BTW, Origin wrote their own memory manager for U7; it won't work
under any multitasking arrangement.  Does anyone know if it's the same for
Max Overkill?

Thanks,

Alright, I'm on the last stage of the game, facing the dragon.  And, I'm dying
heinously.  I've got the blink spells, body statue spells, fire protection
spell, some gold.  I use the blinks first, then the fire protection.  Then die
on the body statue spells.  Am I using the right order?  It seems like this is
the only order possible, given the duration of the spells and the duration of
the dragon breaths.  Yet I keep dying, even though I seem to time the spells
correctly to coincide with the blasts.  But, I may be mistaken.  Can someone
out there give me a clue? :)  It would be much appreciated.
