jens198 SimHQ Member Registered: 01/10/01 Posts: 474 Loc: Nuremberg, Germany	Hi folks, just switched to Win7 a few days ago. One of the first sims to be installed was Jane's F-15 of course. When I start F-15 the menus are all offset and look strange. When you click at a certain spot you don't hit what you see. If you click another spot on the screen (which shouldn't be clickable) you jump onto another screen. It kinda remindes me of the menu problems I had on WinXP with Microprose' M1TP2. I tried various compatibility settings but with no joy so far. Jens Edited by jens198 (10/25/09 02:38 PM) Edit Reason: typos

jens198 SimHQ Member Registered: 01/10/01 Posts: 474 Loc: Nuremberg, Germany	Tried it with various desktop resolutions (16:10 and 4:3) but no success so far. I can't navigate the menu. F-18 TSH 4.02 runs fine by the way. Anyone else even tried running F-15 on Windows 7? Jens

jaegermeister SimHQ Member Registered: 03/31/07 Posts: 302	This seems to be the same driver problem Claude350 and i ran into back in 2007 under Vista. We had to keep switching from downloaded drivers back to the drivers that came with our video cards.

jens198 SimHQ Member Registered: 01/10/01 Posts: 474 Loc: Nuremberg, Germany	Sorry to bump this one up again, but I tried everything I can think of to get F-15 running on Windows 7. Anyone else got it running on an nVidia system (beside the solution with the driver switching)? I assume that there is still some interesst in F-15 in the Windows 7 community. ;-) Jens

Phoenix SimHQ Member Registered: 05/08/05 Posts: 617	I fiddled around with some settings with no success (e.g., I tried using similar settings that I use for JF-18). I don't know much about how the program works though or the fixes. Someone more competent with it might have better luck _________________________ Win7 Ultimate x64 Intel Q9550 @ 4.0Ghz EVGA GeForce 275 GTX 6GB RAM

LawnDartLeo SimHQ Junior Member Registered: 01/10/08 Posts: 57	This is why I keep an old AMD XP1700 or something like that around, running Win98 and some old 3Dfx cards. Roots, baby. Roots. Still, it is noice to be able to run on our new rigs when possible.
