FS2004 and Windows 8 Pro

Hi Guys: I have an upgraded Win8 pro 32bit system and have successfully installed FS2004 with the 9.1 update. It works thus far. Only issue is the black screen for the 3d model on A/C selection. Not sure why at the moment. I did install it to another drive and folder (D:\FS2004) rather than MS's preference. Next issue will be to install software for Saitek X-52 joystick and Pedals. Also FSBuild, FSUIPC, ASE, and the more complicated aircraft from PMDG, Level-d, and Wilco. As well as scenery up the wazu. Hope it works. I will post the results as they occur in hopes of a successful upgrade. Don Brashears
