Howdy, Shaky Stick!  What has brought you to Aces High (as opposed to other on-line flight sims)?  For me, it was getting the urge to fly again after so long away from on-line flying and deciding that Aces High was the best out there.  It was a pleasant surprise when I found that it also has the largest concentration of former AW folks.

Is there a way to get my DOS version (v 1.5, i think) to run on a new-fangled computer?

Possibly.  I've run SVGA Air Warrior v1.20 on Windows XP using a utility called "dosbox".  You can get it here:

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

You need to play with the emulation speed or frameskip or both to get it even in the ballpark of playable.  See the readme file on the following topics:

CTRL-F7       Decrease frameskip.
CTRL-F8       Increase frameskip.
CTRL-F11      Slow down emulation (Decrease DOSBox Cycles).
CTRL-F12      Speed up emulation (Increase DOSBox Cycles).

I ran the SVGA version in WinXP but had to fly with keyboard and mouse. It won't recognize my usb controllers - its probably hard coded to look for a game port.

I have all the boxed versions and even the latest edition with patch won't recognize my controllers :(
