Combat Flight Simulator 2 gives me a msg incompatible cfs2 and does not work on Windows 7.

Combat Flight Simulator 2 disk #1 install.  Disk #2 installs but won't allow game to run.  A message, incompatibility problem: cfs2, appears on the screen.  I tried the "older versions of programs do work under windows 7 (who has worked on both Vista and XP) but not prevail.»  How can I solve this problem?

Thank you for your help.

Steve

CFS 2 will run on Win7. I installed it on Win7 64 bit.
I haven't used compatibility but XP sp2 would be the best option.
To select a compatibility mode R/click on the shortcut of the games and click on properties.
Then click on the Compatibility tab.
It may work better if you install using compatibility mode. To do this open the games install
disk, and then use the Setup.exe to put in compatibility mode before installing.

It could also be a permissions problem. Check the "Run as administrator..." option on the Compatibility tab.
I avoid permissions issues when installing do not play to the default location - Program Files (x 86).

You have installed all the 'important' Windows updates?
You have patched the game?
Have you updated Direct X?   - Download details: DirectX end-user performance

    Hi Gary,.

    If I understand correctly you are faced with the question with the Combat Flight Simulator 3 after installing a recent security update. You need to reinstall the game after you install the security update. I would say to contact Combat Flight Simulator 3 support for assistance.

    Hello

    What operating system is installed on the computer?

    The Code 10 error code is generated when the Device Manager has not enough information or error that spread upwards by device drivers is not recognized by Device Manager. In addition, this error may occur if one of the pilots who needs the unit does not start. If multiple drivers are used by a particular device, it can be difficult to determine which failed.

  • Simulator does not close in Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello

    When I run a simulator in Windows 7 64 bit I can't close without go into the Task Manager and kill the process. When I close the Simulator with the X key, just of freezes and does not respond. I tried the instructions on these forums for setting up the eclipse of Java plug-in on Windows 7 64 bit, but it did not remedy the problem.

    My solution is now a batch file to kill the process with a single click.

    Taskkill /f /im "fledge.exe."

    I put it in the quick launch that I had to do some fiddling to get back in Windows 7. Here are some instructions to find the QuickLaunch: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/888-quick-launch-enable-disable.html?ltr=Q.

    Is there a way to fix this Simulator without killing the process?

    It is a known issue and the only other way is to press 'Disconnect' in the Debug perspective, but actually, he did the same thing as closing the process (it could be a bit more secure, not sure).

  • Combat Flight Simulator won't save is no longer a new campaign

    I tried to launch a new campaign in 3 bag after beating the HUN. I created a new American character and flew the 1st mission. Then I dutifully saved the campaign according to the instructions of the obvious. After leaving the game, I tried to continue with the new character. But NO! Quietly, the bloody game had refused to register this new character. He only would allow me to use characters that I had already beaten before Nazis! At gibts? Deutsch for "what happened?" I have already unloaded the game and reloaded it's new. Thanks for ANY help.
