for the upcoming X we are running ONE MUST FALL 2097 as the novelty comp.
to help get guys setup and practicing i'll give you some instructions on how to get it going.
one prob i had was, it runs in WINXP but the sound is all messed up.
so i user DOSbox (a DOS emulator) to run it,
but the speed is low and im too lazy to manually config it in DOSbox.
i used Dfend, frontend for DOSbox.
so that way you can setup programs with a wizard and you end up with icons to run games from.
when setting up OMF in Dfend, run a wizard (F2)
give it a name,
select the path of the OMF.exe,
next (MOST IMPORTANT PART)
set the cycles to 11000 - this will make the game run at the correct speed!!
just next thru everything else (i also set the memory to 63MB)
and BAM!! you have OMF2097 setup,
you can create an icon for the desktop that will load the game straight away without going thru the frontend.
FILES NEEDED:
OMF2097 Game (http://www.kooop.net/%7Eraptor/pub/omf/main/omf21cd.zip)
DOSbox (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1)
Dfend (http://members.home.nl/mabus/dfend.htm)

Another useful app is Joy2Key (http://www.zophar.net/Files/jtk361en.zip) which you can map keys to a joystick,
so you can use any joystick with OMF.
**NOTE - enable advanced options and turn on REHIT mode and DEF throws,
also turn on HYPER mode, as this is the way we will be playing.
Also there will be no pilot stat editing in the comp.
