Common Issues

Error Messages

"ERROR #1910!"
The game is reporting that it cannot access your CD-ROM device. Make sure that all necessary drivers for the CD-ROM are loading. Edit the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the boot disk or Windows 95 shortcut. See the Boot Configuration for more information.

"ERROR #19XX (XX = any memory address)
The game is reporting a problem accessing memory on your system. Create an EMS boot configuration (using the automatic EMS boot disk or automatic Windows shortcut maker). Boot with the new configuration before running the game. See the Boot Configuration for more information.

General

"Game crashes while replaying a recorded mission."
Wings of Glory can only store up to 20 minutes of recorded flight. If you recorded more than 21 minutes of flight, the game may crash when you try to review it. Keep mission records smaller than 20 minutes if you intend to view playback.

Sound

The Game cannot locate the sound card!
Your sound card may be set to IRQ10. Edit the WG.CFG file found in the C:\WINGS directory. Change the line reading: -ds251 to read -ds2A1 NOTE: If your sound card is NOT set to IRQ 10, this will not work. See our Sound Card Help Page for more information.
The Game cannot locate the sound card! (Not IRQ 10)

Wings of Glory supports sound cards that are 100% compatible with the Creative Labs Sound Blaster standard. Make sure that your sound card is set up for Sound Blaster emulation if it is not a Creative Labs brand. NOTE: Many sound cards can emulate a number of different sound cards. Use the sound card's setup utility to enable Sound Blaster emulation. See our Sound Card Help Page for more information.

Gameplay

Planes are SLOW and hard to turn
World War I pilots had their work cut out for them. The aircraft in Wings of Glory require that you use "hard rudder" turns.

Tip: Use the comma (,) and the period (.) for regular rudder.

Also use ALT+(,) and ALT+(.) for "hard rudder" action.
