December 30, 20187 yr FS2004 does not run with CD#4 from a DVD drive in WIN 10. The solution cannot be discussed on AVSIM's forums.
December 30, 20187 yr Administrators Google search fs9 not compatible with Windows 10. The first site is Microsoft questions and answers. Read and follow how the guy asking about this fixed his problem. Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
December 30, 20187 yr FS2004 IS compatible with Windows 10.. I'm running 6 different versions of FS2004.. Golden Wings, FS History, FS Vintage, FS Space, FSSE (a special version for my VA) and a version that is dedicated to The Ford Tri-Motor Project. Google the other forums, but here is the basics. 1.Install into C:\ directly, NOT the default install. 2. Install the 9.1 update 3. Right-click the FS9.exe, (or the desk-top icon) & select Properties 4.Click 'Compatibility' & select XP 5. Run as Administrator. That's it.. Just run it & all will be good!

January 14, 20197 yr You might have the "secdrv" problem there. "secdrv" is a Windows Service that a lot of games used for CD checks. It has at one point or another been deemed as "insecure", and disabled and hidden from view, although on Win 7 it is still there. Prior to launching, I have to perform the following command: sc start secdrv This enables the CD check (not just for FS2004, but many older games). You can stop the service after launching the game.
