Thanks Hinch but.......

We have the classic old planes on FS9 in a lot better rendition than FS.5

And more of them as well

Actually I could be good fun to collect them all ;-)

Is is indeed a Program that meant a great deal for us good and bad, but never the less quite some hours has been spend over the world with this...

So for historical reasons it would be a nice one to have.

Would it run in XP though Dan :think: .

My first was FS95 which I still have somewhere and I ran that for a few weeks before I had FS200o as a Christmas present.

You can right-click an exe and choose "Run in compatability-mode" in XP...so it actually might

Hmmmm........maybe if I can find it (put into safe storage) :roll:

I'll give that a go

Cheers Dan

I've got some old DOS and Win98 games that I have dug out to try once more to decide whether to dispose of them or not.
Some I could not get to run on XP, but instead I have installed Micosoft's Virtual PC (free) and then Win98 into that.
Win98 runs fine and faster than I remembered, but that is as far as I got before the slide scanning and some hardware projects took all my time.
One day ....... :think:

That's an option if you have win 98 but I no longer have that :sad:

Me throw anything away? :huf:

Post by **Garry Russell** » 13 Mar 2007, 18:57

I never threw it :huf:

My old PC was lent to my brother who lost Win 98 and FS2000 disks :axe:

I would never throw anything like that away

Which is why I still have FS95
