Jane's WW2 Fighters. Anyone still fly it?

Found the CD's, in pristine condition. Now, has anyone found the trick of getting these to load/run on Vista ???
 
Hummm, mine is a single CD and it ran/installed on vista. I have installed other programs that would'nt run from the CD by copying the CD contents to a folder then running the install exe from within the folder.

Had to do my nostromo speed pad software like that as the cd would throw the "this is not a vista program" or some such when I tried to run it.
 
i still fly, i dont know how much of video need but with 1g of ram is more than enough, respect with the fighters there is no add ons for play just mods to change one for other, for the other aircrafts im not sure

here is a table of how dificult is the games compared with il2 cfs2
in an equal fight aces vs aces fighters
cfs2
8 allieds - 8 axis shotdowns by player 4 or 8 depending the aircraft used and how agresive are the opponent
il2 aces vs aces
4 allieds - 4 axis, i dont remerber if were 8 vs 8 or 4 vs 4 shotdowns by player (in my sort experience) 2or3
wwii fighters aces vs aces
16 allieds - 16 axis shotdowns by player between 2 and 3 with some luck 3.5

fighters againt bombers
cfs2
8 allieds - 8 axis shotdowns by player 3 or 4
il2 aces vs aces
4 allieds - 4 axis shotdowns by player n/a (no tested)
wwii fighters aces vs aces
16 allieds - 4 axis shotdowns by player 109G between 2 and 2.5 with some luck 3 or 3.5
 
:icon_lol:
Just reinstalled! Running in compatibility mode on Windows 7. Using the good ol' Thrustmaster Hotas.
Whee! I'd forgotten how great a game this is. Can't get any of the mods to install, but no worries.
Thanks

Yeah, I have the same setup. I'm pretty sure theres a way to install mods, but i don't know it. Right now I'm happy with the default aircraft.
 
Let this one slip by.:banghead: Can it still be found ? Running Win. 7 64 bit. If i can install CFS3 ETO version 1.50 sure i can load this one. Will research more. Sounds interesting. Have 6 very different CFS3 installs , Il-2 '46, (fully updated), Free Falcon 6 ,Falcon 4.0 and Lock On, (updated). Several more combat sims out there that i haven't got yet. Sounds like a good combat sim. if it will run with my pc O.S. .
 
Wow- I have no idea where one might find a copy of this game... it ought to work in your system, in case you do... I really didn't jump thru many hoops to get it running on mine... just the basic tweak of the .exe file compatibility- and the game doesn't like widescreen resolutions, but it looks fine at 1600 x 1200...
 
I still have it, in it's original box... haven't flown it in years. Also have Jane's F-15, F/A-18 and Jane's USAF. :dizzy:

Back when this thread was started, eight years ago (lol) I tried installing it on whatever system I had then (XP? Vista?). It would not install. Or it installed but would not even start to load. Haven't tried since. Too bad, as it was a really fun sim. Limited to a small area in Europe, but that was ok back in "olden times"... :)
 
I bought it and CFS 1 at about the same time. Great eye candy compared to CFS, but CFS was just so much easier for me to mod and I found the predecessor website to here which was direct linked from the Microsoft CFS web page. Jane's just kind of fell to the side after that.
