Just want to get it shared, and playable if possible, to find out exactly what it is...)
Who wants to help see if this is playable?
From the AG thread:
The main partition had about 1.6gb of stuff on it, all related to Microsoft's Flight Combat Simulator (was that ever released for DC? Either officially or unofficially...). It seems to be a bunch of small 'test' and 'sample' builds, but there's one 500+mb folder and one 800+mb folder, so it might have something playable on it... (Drive makes odd noises occasionally, that made me nervous, so my first priority was getting everything off. Copied off all visible files, and then a complete clone of the drive. Most of the drive was used by existing files, but I'll still do data recovery on the unused portion, just in case...)
And the system appears to have originally come from KCEA's Honolulu studio...
Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator (for Dreamcast)
Original: Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator (for PC)
This version is not straightly ported. 100% of the code were re-writen, 85% of the data is created newly.
Director / lead programmer:
Hiroyuki Chiwata

If you can, please upload the backup in its entirety. You can use something like
Mediafire to upload anonymously for free. I know some names have been given at places like AG/OG, but the more hands on deck, the better the chance of it getting figured out. You seemed like you were on the right track with getting the GD Workshop structure set up. You should be able to copy the folders (T1, T2, etc) to their corresponding tracks in GD-Workshop as those are the folders created by GD-Workshop when you create a project and emulate it on the Dev.Box.

I don't think he is the same person who posted this over at Assembler and ObscureGamers. That person has the same account name on Assembler as at Obscure. aldair is actually the person from Assembler who goes by the name psobb2009. He is just posting it here to make others aware of it.

@Anthony817 - If that's true, what a weird way to make a post then by just copying a thread verbatim with no indication it's a quote. Very misleading.

@Aldair - I did and it looks just like this thread. Both start with "I have builds" which, without it appearing in quotes to suggest another author, suggests that the creator of this thread and the other each have builds of CFS. Who actually has the builds?
