Hi Davros. That's a good question. It looks a little dumb, I know. My first FS was FS2004, nearly 20 years ago, and I was very happy with it, but by chance, I got a copy of FS98 and when I flew it by some time, it discovered my standards for realism had got down, so going back to FS2004 seemed...

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried FS98 in: - Windows 7 In a semi-old I7 PC AMD Radeon R7-200 and in a semi-new PC with a GTX 1060. - Windows 7 and XP in a new PC through VMWare virtual machine. In all of them, I get the same problem. So I'm not sure that trying WP in a host PC...

Hi Davros again. I really don't know what to run in software mode is. In FS98, and in all Flight Simulators I know (FS2000 and FS2004), I always seem to be running in Software Mode, as I can't see any option to run it under any other mode, so I guess I a m always running in Software Mode...

Well I think it does matter, homerdog. At least it seems you can only get 8 bit screen resolutions without 3d acceleration, instead of 16 bit. So, I think I'll leave that for a last chance. But thanks. I will make some trials next days and will tell you by here. Have all a happy new year if no...

Hi Davros. If I didn't understand bad, you mean to limit the VRAM available in order not overhelm the program or something like that?. But the part about it detecting or not detecting my 3d card, what do you mean or how could I check that? Change the card type in DgVoodoo, yes I can try all...

Hi. No, I have tried Vmware Windows XP (and then, passed to Vmware 8.1). It seems to work better in the latter. (Is Hyper-V supposed to work better for FS98 in any of those systems?)

Hi thank you very much for your answer. Of course I might be going in the wrong direction, because I have very little information and knowledge about all that. I'm going trough intution about this because is the only thing I have. But that's the kind of approach I wanted to receive, to see what...

Well, I already tried DgVoodoo2 and I got this: - In the PC where I have FS98 running with Windows 7, I got a little improvement. Program seems to hold a couple more planes. (When I saw it worked, I hoped it could have broken a barrier, and then I could see aircraft according to my new system...

Well I tried in XP VMWare, that but the problem seems to be the same. I have also tried in Windows 98 Compatibility Mode, but the problems also remain. I will try Dgvoodoo2 and see what happens. Thanks for your answer.

Hi, I installed it but after that I've had very hard work days, and I need some time to do the tests, so I left it for this weekend days. But for me it seems the most promosing way. Many thanks for your interest. I will tell you.

Well, of course I don't think it's a problem of hardware being not capable enough. But as you had mentioned before, does the game struggle itself with not so high memory demand?. Or is just that current hardware, (or its architecture, or the combination of it with the systems it can run with...

Yes, that's right it's not a problem of permanent black textures. But I had a problem of permanente black textures with another Flight Simulator and I'm solving it with that link you provided me, Pharma. So thanks to you also.

Ok. I will try dgvoodoo2, although that's an uncertain world for me. Can you tell me if it works like patch (remedy) or like a diagnosis tool? And I've seen there are debugging versions. Can it be convenient that version? Many thanks for your interest and input

Hi. I am an enthusiast of vintage Flight Simulators, and I want to enhance FS98, but I have some graphic issues that seem to be related with the GPU/CPU combo in relation with the game itself. (FS98 is a 16-bit game that only runs in 32-bit systems up to 8.1, and in all systems I have found the...
