As a follow up to an awesome @philscomputerlab tutorial on how to set up PCem on modern Windows I decided to make one which covers further steps required to setup your joystick and install Longbow 2 so you can play this great flight sim again without those annoying issues like crashes-to-desktop, non-functional tail rotor and rockets falling short of the target.

3. 2.09 patch for Longbow 2:

Get one for your version - 2.09e is for English version, 2.09i for French and German versions. I didn't covered that in the video, but if you followed Phill's tutorial you should already know how to put the files on your virtual hard drive. Just make sure to unzip it in your host OS first and transfer the content of the zip file (since you probably don't have unzip utility in Windows 98 installed) . Once you have it in your emulated environment just run that file and it will patch the game automatically.

Excerpt from ithe music used during install process was composed by my me and my brother. Performed by my brother, used with his permission.
