Title: Aircraft not showing up
Post by jrbirdman on Sep 16th, 2009 at 11:59pm
I run Windows Vista, and FS98 works fine, however I can't get any add-on aircraft to show. What gives?

LOL, there are certain aircraft that aren't available for FS9 that are for FS98, so I use both.

Not many people will have FS98 installed nowadays. If you give me an example of an aircraft you're having problems with I can check it out for you. I need the file description & exact page it's posted on so I can download it.

My first thought is that you need to install the FS98 Patch & Converter. Both files are posted here. http://www.simviation.com/fs98utilities_ess.htm

Note: Both updates should install automatically. I'm not sure they're compatible with Vista. The Converter adds essential files to FS98. There's no need to use it to install the aircraft.

Thanks Hagar. It was the converter and patch I needed.
