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.
