December 25, 201015 yr I was wanting to take a walk down memory lane tonight (it's Christmas after all!) and install FS98 if only for a feeling of nostalgia. FS98 is, after all, the simulator that got me hooked on aviation!So is there any way to get FS98 working with W7 and my hardware or will I have to find a dinosaur to install to? I know there are others in this forum that understand the reasons to my query! :( ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
December 25, 201015 yr Author Nevermind! I got it.I disabled all of the Windows 7 desktop features while running the sim and it works! I'm going to fly in 8bit glory! ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules

December 25, 201015 yr Commercial Member Is there a single selection to disable all the Windows7 or did you have to search and destroy? Interested in trying this myself as I have all the past versions and would be curious to see how far back I can go. I imagine something in the Control Panel?Merry Axmess,Clutch Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!)

December 25, 201015 yr HOw many FPS are you hitting? I would bet it is over 100 Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
December 25, 201015 yr When I ran fs98 on my AMD64 GeForce 8500GT system a few years ago, the frames per second just showed &%^$9 rather than numbers. :( Andrew McCluskey

Right click the launch icon and disable visual themes and desktop composition. Still buggy, though! It worked long enough to piddle around Chicago! ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
