Sim Picklins Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hello, I'm not exactly new here and was known under a different alias. My computer died over a year ago and through a series of unfortunate circumstances I was unable to acquire a new one until recently. I now own one with Win 10 and a solid state hard drive, after attempting to install Flight SIM 2004 I found out after several hours of customer support that Windows no longer supports the SIM. Imagine if you will talking to some kid who thinks a fossil like me was trying to install an antique on a new computer. I have gone through the process several times before with different computers only this time at the end of the install when it asks me to register online I am sent to the Xbox gaming site, that was where my customer service woes began. You may ask why do I want to bother installing it to begin with, many developers spent thousands of hours creating quality stuff that I enjoyed and I want it back. I paid for it and I want to use it again, Bill Gates can take a flying leap. If there is anyone out there who can help me I would greatly appreciate it, THANX Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piet06273 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) As far as I know, FS2004 never came with a key-code, it was only sold in the 4 CD Box. When you paid for the Box you were the ligitimate owner. There was a 'Certificate of authenticity' sticker in the Box but no license code's were printed nor asked. X-Box sounds like FSX-Steam version Edited May 20, 2021 by piet06273 I5 12600K - RTX3060TI - 32GB 3600 - M2 - WIN11 - FS8/9/X - MSFS - full ORBX UTX etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I don't think the OP has actually posted what the problem is. If it installs but doesn't run, you probably need the NoCD patch. Cheers! Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
