Can't get ANY of these to work in Win7 64 bit. Any clues? I know eek CFS? What the heck man, are you nuts!? Well, maybe just a wee bit. But none the less, any help would be appreciated.

CFS3 works fine for me, as does CFS2. I haven't tried CFS though...

Be sure you have the latest DirectX 9.0c package from Microsoft as well as Visual C++ 2005 x86 and x64, Visual C++ 2008 x86 and x64, and lastly Visual C++ 2010 x86 and x64.

CFS3 runs fine for me under Win7 64-bit, patched up and everything. I don't even need compatibility mode. (This is a good thing as far as any future Over Flanders Fields prospects are concerned.)

I have not attempted to install CFS2 or CFS1, but I suppose I could try it and report my experiences. All are Microsoft CD versions.

(Just as an aside: is the force-feedback in Microsoft flight sims supposed to feel so...weird with the SWFFB2? There isn't the typical centering force most of the time like with everything else I play; instead, it just kind of jerks the stick toward neutral at times. This applies to CFS3 and FSX at a minimum.)

I don't know how helpful this is but on my machine I can run all three. However I have the 32 bit version of Win 7, a completely different beast at times, I know. There is a goofy thing with the joystick controls in CFS1 though. I had to manually go into the config files and type in all the key commands because somehow during installation it didn't install those files. After that one quirk though it runs just as well as ever. No issues at all with the other two,I dont even need to use a comparability mode.
