Scratched FS Disk 4

[Guest KFD]

Hi All,My FS9 requires Disk 4 to be in the drive at all times. This resulted in a quite scratched and dirty disk (alright I should keep my desktop cleaner!)Is there a small patch out there that can dispense eith having to keep the disk in the drive when using FS9?KFD

Touchy subject here on Avsim. Check Simviation.com, they have what you need. Search for 'NO CD' ;)

I leave my 4th CD in the drive most of the time. When I do have to take it out, I treat it carefully. When music CD's first came out we were all told they were indestructible. We all know that's not true!!Victor

You can also make a copy of it using clone cd or alcohol, and use the copy as the 'working' disk, and squirrel away the original. That's what I did as I am always suspicious that I'm not getting the best performance using the modified exe files...sgEDIT: as an aside, copying it with a burning program that "fixes errors" and "amplifies weak sectors" may "repair" some of the scratches that have occurred through use.
