Vista and Combat Flight Simulator 3

There is something very clever going on in this OS. CFS3 on this hardware
under XP ran at perhaps 30fps but with some stuttering. Under Vista it is
60fps+ with everything maxed and smooth as a babies bottom. If anyone has
this sim gathering dust in a cupboard it is well worth dusting off and
trying again.

That seems pretty amazing, especially, since up until the release of the 7.3
drivers, Vista always ran slower than XP. even then it's only 3 fps faster
than XP in fear and they would be tied, if I took XP back to the 7.1
drivers. Vista getting double the fps over XP, makes me wonder if you have
something wrong wit XP.

I think I'll get my friend to mail me his old CD if he's got it.

HI Wayne,
did you get CFS3 to run on Vista? I can´t. The installation was fine, but it
does not start...
Can you help?
Thanks, Alex

Well hey, I'm new and I just want some help. My friend gave me the game
and I tried to install it. The only problem is that when it gets to 40%
it freezes. On compact installation, it freezes on 72%. When it's
frozen, I have checked the task manager and it says it running. Please
help! I want to play!
