Hi all,
Janes FA-18
Will play on Win 7 64bit system but you will need the fixes.
Janes F-15
Will run but the menu is invisible. By moving the cursor around and clicking on the page you can get other menus to open up. I was able to fly one mission, but because the menu is invisible it is difficult to enjoy.
Janes Fighters Anthology
Will play, but the graphics are terrible, but after awhile they seem to straighten up. The graphics of the water, however remained a rainbow of colors. In the menu for quick flights I found the fonts unreadable to the point you do not know what you are selecting or how many. In other menus, if you place your cursor on the title box the fonts become clear and readable. There may be a fix for this game, but I have not checked.
Janes WWII Fighters
As others have said this also runs well.
Janes USAF-
Good news, I was able to get Jane's USAF to run on my system. I was running it patched to ver. 102, without compatibility mode. I was not able to set the preferences in the game because it would not open the new window. I had to press the ESC key to unlock the cursor and allow me to make another selection. I then chose the Fly button to see if it would allow me to get into the game, and it did. I played it on auto-pilot mode. Once it was flying I chose the different F keys at the top of the keyboard, to see if it would bring up the different views and it did. The in-game graphics however, were very choppy, but at times the view would be very smooth. I believe if I could set the preferences for the game, it would play. I do not know what file I would need to manually adjust the preferences. And even if I knew the file, I might not be able to open it without a special utility program. I will continue to work with this game to see if I can get it to run as it did in Win 98 when it first came out.
Strike Fighters and Wings over Vietnam plus YAP2
They all run beautifully.
Janes Longbow 2
It also runs very well.
MS Combat Flight Simulator 2
It plays very well. The game downloaded from disks to the HD with no problem, but I could not get the disk to play with my DVD ROM player. After downloading from the Internet, the NoCD.exe file, I was able to open the game and play it. I did not have to use compatibility mode.
I will continue to try other titles that I have and will post what happens
Out of here,
Wired
