Combat Wings: Battle of Britain

What works

Installer (see Additional Comments below), single player game

What does not

Intro (sound but no video) I've experienced some difficulties setting up the controls, in particular assigning the basic movements to the joystick (defaults controls are keyboard and mouse); I've had to reset to defaults and retry several times before I could obtain a satisfactory setup, but whether this is a game or a Wine issue I'm not able to say.

Additional Comments

If you install game from the DVD, setup will automatically run "D:\Setup\DirectX\DXsetup.exe /silent" at the end of the installation process, thus overriding Wine DirectX dlls, which is not needed. To avoid this, simply copy the setup files from D:\Setup to a temporary directory (obviously, do not copy D:\Setup\DirectX) and run the setup from there. Microsoft fonts are required at run time: I've met the requirement installing the winetricks' "corefonts" package.
