This is the CD version of TFX which is most likelky the latest version available for PC (v2.05).

You can grab this version with the manual here:

There is cue/bin provided, for Redbook Audio to work in DOSBox, mount the cue file with:
imgmount d {path-to-your-location-of-cue/bin-files}\TFX.CUE -t cdrom

Also for cycles I recommend 30000 value which corresponds to somewhere between a fast 486 66MHz and entry level Pentium 60 MHz.

Note that if you go for Redbook Audio, the CD tracks will play only during missions while the FM synth will play in the menus. If you wish to have better music overall, go for Roland option - select LAPC1 (it should actually be LAPC-I) in the config and use CM-32L roms with Munt to emulate this music card.

For this presentiation I'm flying the Arcade Mode which to be honest I think I never tried, always flew in the more serious modes like Tour Of Duty, Simulator and Flashpoints. In Arcade Mode you have unlimited ammo and need to down as much enemy aircraft in a set time limit. Each level is set on different map, which makes for 5 levels since there are 5 theaters in the game. From obvious reasons you are limited only to F-22 and EF, since F-117 doesn't have means to engage air targets. I also switch between flight models during my playthrough to showcase some differences in aircraft behaviour.
