Hi Lindsay,
That's correct. A lot of us found that out the hard way. As I understand
it Windows Vista has drastic changes in vidio support, and these changes
in vidio support breaks compatibility with some older games such as FS 
2002.

I'm not surprised because as a software developer myself I have seen
lots of development changes between XP and Vista. Many
older technologies are being removed and many other newer technologies
are slowly being incorperated. For example, Microsoft's decision to
begin removing DirectInput, DirectSound, DirectPlay, etc and replace
them with XAudio, XInput, etc.
So FS 2002 won't be the first nor the last program you might have that
fails to work properly on Vista and the up coming Windows 7. Personally
I think Microsoft is making too many changes too fast resulting in third
party software developers to play catch up and update all of their
software at once to target the newer Windows platforms.

I wish there was an alternitive program that'd work with FSX. It's  
kinda cool because with that game you don't just fly, you've got  
missions and stuff, so it'd be cool to complete missions instead of  
just flyingaround the world.

yeah it would be.
I would really like a alternitive to fsnav.
I'd actually like some actual audio interface for fsx and other things, because 
right now I need to use jaws and jaws with fsnav is well its a load of work.
I just want to play but yeah it would be good to get something like this done.

Lindsay,

Microsoft ended support for it before vista was released, so it won't work 
for deffinet, and it can't be fixed I suspect.

Hi folks,

I have just started playing microsoft flight simulator 2002. On my old 
machine, which was windows xp home sp2, it worked fine. I bought a windows 
vista home premium PC this year and now I can't play it because it isn't 
compatible. I am so upset, I loved that game.
