Wilco 737 Pilot in Command

[PeteHam]

Does any one here use the Wilco 737 PIC with a Win7 OS ?


I've had mine for a few years now ( from my old FS2004 on WinXP although I haven't had it installed for a while ) , but I re-installed it in my sim ( Win7 OS ) and had it CTD shortly after take off.

A bit of investigating, plus an email off to Wilco has left me confused.

I asked Wilco if I could get the 737PIC for FS2004 with Win7 and they said " ... There is no such version under W7 ... ".

But in their web site it has this listed ......

I've searched a number of posts at the Avsim ( wilco unofficial support ) Forum and it may be possible to get it working properly.

I'm hoping that it's possible to get mine working fully with an upgrade , or to purchase a newer one, but in the meantime I'm flying it with another 2D panel.

Any help muchly appreciated.

Thanks.

Pete.

You might try running FS9 in XP compatibility mode. Other than that, I don't have any other ideas, seeing as how I don't have the package.

Pete was your a download or dvd purchase?

Thanks for the comments.

Tom, how do I go about ".... running FS9 in XP compatibility mode .... " ?

Mine was a download , some years ago now.

Pete - open your main FS9 folder and right-click the fs9.exe icon, then choose Properties. There should be a Compatibility tab like on my pic here.
