Windows XP compatable
 
Does any one know of, or have, a simulator that works with the XP. My old one does not. Please let me know. I am looking to find software for jet practice.

I had some problems with RealFlight G2 but did get it to work on XP.

Sims and Windows XP
 
I'm running XP with RF USB, was up and running in 10 min. no problems since fixing video card problems unrelated to XP. LeeU

So
 
Your saying XP is compatable with most of the sim software ?

"Virtual R/C Flight" = FMS
 
migdriver,
"Virtual R/C Flight" is just plain FMS!

I don't know why pjcowleyhotmail.com, who is selling simple FMS parallel cables (costing less than $5 to manufacture) on eBay, calls it "Virtual R/C Flight"!

If you read his auction description carefully:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1729332658
it says "does not currently support windows 2000/XP". This is a BS to start with: FMS works fine in 2000/XP as long as you are using a decent, microchip-based, cable--either a TX-to-joystick interface (works with all sims in all Windows versions) or, so called, PIC-based (FMS-only) interface.
The cable you've got with "Virtual R/C Flight" will only work with FMS and only under Windows 95/98/ME.

Read FMS description on the official FMS page:
http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index_e.html

as well as people's discussions at the main FMS forum:
http://cgi.ethz.ch/~mmoeller/cgi-bin.../ikonboard.cgi

Hope this helps,
Boris

I have G2 and FMS and both work perfect with XP.

I have RealFlight "classic" on a laptop running XP, and using Lew Engineering's RCJOY USB interface. The software runs like a champ. Just make sure you have downloaded the most recent update from the RF website.
