April 20, 20233 yr I am thinking to update my windows 8.1 to windows 10 Do fs2004 works on win 10? If not; What should I do to works on win 10 64 bit
April 21, 20233 yr I hope your windows 8 box is not connected to the internet as that operating system is riddled with vulnerabilities; Microsoft stopped patching Windows 8 more than 7 years ago. You can find the answer to your question here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/running-ms-flight-simulator-2004-on-windows-10-pc/c51eb23d-015d-480d-8772-b8fc23f0fe3b good luck!

April 21, 20233 yr No problems at all, running FS2004 on Windows 10 & Windows 11. To INSTALL FS2004 to your new Windows 10 or 11 PC 1. Install into C:\ NOT into it's default C:\Program Files 2. Install the 9.1 updatel 3. Install the 9.1 nocd patch 4. Right-click the FS9.exe, select Properties 5. Select Compatibility mode, & select XP 6. At bottom, then select 'Run as Administrator' 7. Double click the desktop icon Robin "Onward & Upward" ... To the Stars, & Beyond...

April 22, 20233 yr Never had a problem with full screen on W10. Alt-TAB in and out no problem either, except when I go back to full screen I get a glowing border and then I hit Alt 2X and it's fine.

If I remember correctly, the key assignments are in fs9.cfg (at or near the bottom of the listing) I use a search engine called 'Everything' from www.voidtools.com This is a very quick desktop search engine that finds whatever you are looking for, as you type.

June 2, 20233 yr I wondered about Windows 10 64 bit. I don't know what the difference is, so i have always used 32 bit for FS9. Edited June 2, 20233 yr by JAT
