ACuriousSimmer Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Good evening all. While experimenting with getting FS98 to work under Win10, I discovered that 2D panels is the reason for the program crashing upon bootup. When a dummy panel folder is made (with no files), FS98 boots up normally. Virtual Cockpits work without crashing the sim, along with all other views. Smooth Transition view and switching views quickly still affects the crash rate under Win10/8.1, like FSFW95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dernes Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hi: I never got FS98 to start in Windows 10. And I don't know the meaning of bootup. When does your fs98 crash?. After you select an aircraft or just at the beginning. In case it's like mine, did you get rid of all the aircraft panels to get it going? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACuriousSimmer Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Bootup: When FS98 is launched. FS98 will crash at the beginning if the default flight's aircraft has panels. If you remove them and then switch to an aircraft with panels, the sim will still crash to desktop. This is why you couldn't get FS98 to start in Windows 10. It also crashes in 8.1 I did have to remove all the aircraft panels to get it working but unless you have lots of experience with flying without any instruments, the sim is unplayable. Here's to holding out for the 2004 Win10 update to unintentionally fix this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dernes Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 ok. many thanks. Very clear, except the last sentence. What's the 2004 Win10 update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defaid Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Googling 'Win10 current version' produced this: "The latest version of Windows 10 is the May 2020 Update, version “2004,†which was released on May 27, 2020. Microsoft releases new major updates every six months.7 days ago" I thought 2004 was well before Win10 launched... D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
