  • Combat Flight Simulator 3 will not drive install

    The drive, which I bought, Combat Flight Simulator 3, cannot be read by my computer, 3 XP, Windows 8.  I tried different ways to install this drive, but all without success.  Microsoft Diagnostics can not read or the other.  As far as I can check my computer has all the requirements for this game, but I didn't even get an error message.  Various ways to install just to bring the error message, insert the disk when the disk is already in the drive.  I have a funny feeling that the disc is a complete space, that I have been ripped off by the seller.  If this is the case, then I'll send the disk to Microsoft (very) and ask them to investigate the seller.  Comments, please.

  • Unable to run the original version of Combat flight simulator in Windows Vista

    Hello

    I am trying to run the original 1998 version of combat flight simulator in vista. I've run it no problem in xp. The program installs OK and works OK, but does not have a joystick. I can calibrate the joystick in the program, but not actually control anything. I installed Flight Simulator 98 and had exactly the same problem. Both programs ran perfectly under xp. I realize has the latest versions will work more than likely OK, but for the moment cannot afford to replace my existing one.
    Thank you
    Simon

    Hi Simon,.

    It seems that the joystick drivers is not updated for windows Vista. Let us know if the gamepad work on other games in Windows Vista.
