ok,i have win 10/64bit...ive found some old flight sim software.

Fly!II
silent thunder a-10

AND

Combat Flight Simulator WWII Europe series,along with Pacific theatre and Battle for Midway

can i make these work again?..the combat is the one i want,and yeah i get that it will wayyyyyyy outdated..but man it was fun when i first started.

any help woould be great!~!
 
As with each subsequent Windows release 'most' old games etc can be wrangled to function....even if Dos emulators are needed.

One issue will be to be sure older/compatible/required DX libraries are installed....not just DX10 and beyond.

There can be issues with the modern 'program files' locations in both newer OS vers AND 64bit vs 32.

Compatibility Mode and Admin privileges also will likely be needed.
 
I'm sure the CFS2 forum would be able to help you.

If you want good old-fashioned combat, have you thought of the Il-2 series, which run well in Windows 10?
 
Anyone who missed out on (it is possible that someone did despite all their deliberate attempts at foisting it on everyone campaign) W10 who may feel they want it, it is still available here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/acc...2459594)(TnL5HPStwNw-0FBZfNm6YPFXNhiu3o52rA)()
The need for Assistive Tech is really not necessary and just a little bit dishonest of MS inho. Clearly they didn't get the OS domination they were aiming for.

I found this whilst bored awaiting delivery of a new MB as mine has developed a fault which makes rebooting a hit or miss affair, I daren't run anything too taxing.
Damn, I was hoping to rebuild with a new CPU MB and DDR4 in the new year, guess that's on hold now. :banghead:
