Hi, everyone.

I noticed that the FAQ in the first post in this thread is missing links to a lot of the other Websites that contain add-ons (like aircraft skins, terrains, cockpits, etc.). Give us the links to such Websites that you are aware of, and Joe can add them accordingly to the FAQ in the first post in this thread.

HI F/A 18 fans.
Thanks to Joe, the post is replaced and complete revised.
Any comment is welcome.
Enjoy

Updated the FAQ with TrackIr related links.

Folks:

Windows 2000 tips for JF-18, from recent personal experience on updating our older home PC.

1. Make sure you're updated to Win2K SP3 or preferably SP4:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp4/default.asp

2. Install the MS Application Compatibility toolkit 3.0:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...&DisplayLang=en

3. Install JF-18 by navigating to the setup program on the CD and running it in Win98 compatibility mode (right-click, select Properties, pick Compatibility)

4. Run the game in Win98 compat mode...

5. ...unless you're having trouble getting FA-18 to find your throttle. In this case try the Win NT4 SP5 compat mode.

You should be good to go.

Note: All this advice was garnered from old posts here and on other forums. But it can't hurt to put it in one place.

Nico Heertjes and any others that are flying Jane's F/A 18 using CH Products. The links to my .cmc and profile have been moved to:

Profile ---> HERE
And my .cmc: HERE

the .cmc would naturally have to match your Jane's F/A 18 keys.ini to take full advantage of all the available in game commands.

and have 2 questions. Let me explain where I am. I am just reinstalling Fa18 and have one problem and one question. problem: what do I have to do to get rid of the joy1 hat up sticky.(running XP pro) I deleted the joy hat 1 one files but still stays "sticky"
question 1: why didn't you include "trim" in your CMC file?

fixed sticky by setting the hat to pov in CM and setting the device to "CD 1" with nothing below that. then sliding commands in the the positions in the game

Asside from my flight sim skin booth, I've added an add-ons collection of almost every single skins that was created since the begining of JF18. They can be found here:

Hi Folks
New guy in town.
I've been on Lomac for a couple of years and am interested in diversifying into this great sim as well. My son is keen too.
I have the cd but cant get it running on win 2K sp4. I have read the sticky where it say we need ACT 3 from MS...they don't have it anywhere. I have tried several sites. Looked at the ACT v4.1 but there is no info saying it is compatible with win2k. It only says earlier versions can't update something..so can you guys help? Looking forward to thowing myseld into this sim.
Cheers
