Combat Flight Simulator Windows 7 - cannot install

Hi all

I just combed my 1998 version of the SFC - the one with the mustang on the cover.  I can not install it at all!

The sepia action aerial shooting appears small turns turquoise ring and that's all.  It hangs then (excuse the pun).

I tried the road to compatibility - no joy - and diagnosis says "incompatible program.

Help

If the game is not compatible with windows 7, as suggested by compatibility diagnosis then the only remaining option is to switch to other versions of Combat Flight Simulator, which is compatible with Windows 7.

Here is a link to check the compatibility.

    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).

  • 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
