Greetings:
First of all, you are a traitor to JFA-18 for posting here.
Unfortunately, so am I, so I can't turn you in.

Second, I'm not at all sure this is a serious inquiry, but on the off chance that it is:
Yes, Flanker 2.5 can work on WinXP.
I am running WinXP SP2, and it works fine on my system.

As for the free OS, well, meet me down by the docks at midnight....

Greetings:
Okay, I think that first word in the middle line is Russian for "friend."
So I don't think the next two mean "kiss my butt" or something worse, although I could be wrong.
But just in case they mean "thank you," you're welcome. \:\)

Anyway, you didn't ask, but as for whether you should fly Flanker or MFS 2000, I can't compare them much because I've never flown MFS 2000.
On the other hand, I have been flying Flanker for about a week now, so I am an expert on it. I've even landed four or five times without crashing. \:D

Anyway, I'm pretty sure you don't get to blow anything up in MFS 2000, at least not intentionally.
Flanker, however, gives you the opportunity to blow up all kinds of stuff, including pretty much all the American warplanes, which probably appeals to you.

But if you are coming over from the Jane's F/A-18E, learning to fly the Flanker is difficult.
There is only one MFD, and the lack of information in the cockpit is scary.
You can cheat by using the F10 key, but don't tell anybody.
Also, there are about a dozen ATA missiles that have the same designation, R-27.
It is very confusing.

Good luck.
Ed

it means "For health" and it is said almost exclusively when you're drinking in the company of good friends.

\:\( i even sent this russian guy $5 in an envelope for some game, never heard from him.

Greetings:
Thanks for translating.
And Na Zdorovye! to you too, Komarad.

I understand about trying something new. I get tired of JFA-18 every now and then myself and wander off.
I usually go back pretty quickly, but I am making an effort to learn this sim, which I think is worthwhile.
It sounds like you don't actually have it. But if you do get it and start flying, let me know what you think.

Ed

p.s. I'm sorry you lost your cash, but I think it would be worth it just to be able to say you sent some Russian guy $5 in an envelope, and he ripped you off.

I got it to install after a few tries, it would crash and corrupt game files at first but now seems stable and really worth it. My current computer can run the game frame rates the way they should be.

my install procedure

flanker 2
flanker 2.5 patch
set up in game options
test
flanker 2.5 training files
test
flanker 2.51 patch
play

Do i have to configure something to play Flanker 2.51 in Windows XP SP2? Some missions crash when playing.

THanks.
