Hello everyone, I just blew the dust out of old files from Jane's Fighter Anthology from 1997, including some of libs (old name for mods from late 1990s to 2000s when people created mods for Jane's FA). I am working on making it flyable again so I can enjoy the old nostalgic experiences with it. I have questions for SimHQ community: 1) Do any of you still fly Jane's FA for sakes of old time, especially the wonderful features that Jane's FA have to offer? 2) Do any of you have any libs (mods) for Jane's FA? I am missing lot libs, especially Centurian libs. So i am wondering if any of you have these libs. 3) Do any of you managed to get Jane's FA working with windows 10 64 bit? I am having troubles running it, especially with Windows XP Service 3 as compatibility as an admin in my Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Every time I start missions and jump into aircraft, screen always freeze / lock up after few seconds. So I am wondering if any of you have managed to get it working with Windows 10. ----------------------------------------------- UPDATE: Good news for everyone, I think I might have managed to solve the problems. I tweaked FA.exe like this: 1) Enable compatibility to Window XP (Service Pack 3) 2) Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution 3) Disable display scaling on high DPI settings 4) Run this program as an administrator The screen no longer freeze anymore and I am able to fly smoothly in Jane's FA. This is an excellent news! However, do anyone, by any chance, have Jane's FA libs (mods) files? The website I got several mods from JKPeter website ( http://jkpeterson.net/fa/librarys.php) have several mods missing, for example: Centurian lib (That mod is one of my favorite mod)

Hey, I've been playing FA on my Win 10 64-bit for quite a while now without any problems. I didn't used any compatibility options on the exe, just installed the official 1.02 patch. If you want to play Ukraine Campaign though you need the "USNF Ukraine Campaign Video Fix" available also from site you mentioned. I've been replaying the FA series campaigns you can check them out here: Vietnam Campaign Ukraine Campaign Kurile Campaign Egypt Campaign (still in progress)

Do you, by any chance, have Centurian Game Remod libs for Jane's FA? This is one of greatly missing lib I am looking for. I am old friend of Centurian and his lib is one of my favorite.

Sorry but no. I've never heard of this libs. I was intrigued however by official campaign released only in Japan. http://www.tok2.com/home/avionics/usnffm/index.html I have good news, I found Centurian Game Remod lib for Jane's FA from this link (I posted it in my previous post above): http://jkpeterson.net/fa/librarys.phpI can't believe I didn't see this lib that is actually uploaded in the same link I posted above. However, I am still missing an additional files for campaign with Centurian's Game Remod lib. However, I have never seen USN Campaign released in Japan only, is there download links for it? I would like to try their campaign in Jane's FA.

Sorry I'm late to the party. For those interested, Fighters Anthology is still being played and improved by a group of us dedicated players. Over the last few years, I have built several new campaigns, including historical Vietnam campaigns, and made improvements to the existing campaigns (except Kuril campaign), as well as improvements to aircraft, weapons, etc... You can read more on my website, and download the updates. http://myplace.frontier.com/~usnraptor/
