F-19 Stealth Fighter (Mod Update!) - Persian Gulf Mission #03

Third mission in the Persian Gulf theatre, with another panel revision and a new and original title screen! I have also modified the Roland MT-32 sound driver to remove the low altitude beeper, that thing is completely counter-intuitive when you try to fly low and slow. As for the mission, it is a daytime deal, photograph one bridge and destroy an oil rig. Flying at times dangerously low, I managed to slip through undetected, until the secondary target area where first I stupidly flew too close to the airfield and radar. Later a Tomcat got a visual ID on me. I exhausted most countermeasure stores and managed to evade his aggressive maneuvers and attacks though, and got home safely.

That's awesome. I never had F-19, but I remember seeing it on the shelf. Everything from Microprose was basically gold back then. I need to see if it's on GoG. I don't remember what the displays looked like (I would have only seen them on the back of the box) so I'll have to find a copy to see what you changed. That's awesome that people have figured out how to mod these pre-modularity games.
Dumb question: is that running in EGA or VGA? Apparently I can't tell 320x2x0x16 from 640x4x0x16 anymore.

Thanks! MicroProse holds so many memories for me too. Indeed, the game is on GoG nowadays. This is EGA mode, the game has VGA mode but that is basically the same except for some gradient corners in the panel art. This new panel will work in VGA mode as well, added the proper file to the mod archive now. Though in F-19 VGA mode is still 320x200 too, so it does not matter really :)
