BudE Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Could not get my original MSFS 2002 to install so bought new set. The 3 discs installed fine, started up and first coupe of flights went well, now I cannot change a/c or locations, its stuck on a Learjet and Meigs Field, joystick works and plane flys ok, but how do I get this to work as it should. Others seem to have no problem with Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornetAircraft Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 simple. just upgrade to FS9 and treat yourself to the same FPS and much better graphics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphil38 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I keep an old refurbished Win XP Dell just for running FS2002 and Looking Glass Flight Unlimited 3. No compatibilty problems that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zswobbie1 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Have a look at the top sticky on the FS2004 forum and try install/move your FS2002 sim as per the instructions there. Maybe it will work. Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetdogy Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I have a WindowsXP computer for FS2002. My sister bought a new computer with Windows 10. I installed FS2002 The planes fly but they don't show in the Select Plane window but when I click to fly it shows for a split second. Also the scenery gets messed up.

HornetAircraft Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I am an FS9 guy but I have FS2002 on my PC for nostalgia. (windows 10) I've noticed the same thing. It is best to start with the 172 before switching planes. the best option that I recommend is to get FS9 for her unless her PC can not handle it. with all default scenery you can expect over 100fps no questions asked on a decent PC. with addons you can expect anywhere from 30-60. here's a link to my channel showing how to upgrade FS9 if you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_CaTfA5MnBsr3AxlFkH06g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zswobbie1 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Did you install FS2002 as per the instructions at the top of the forum? NOT in it's default directory!! Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywatcher12 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 All the things old games require to run properly are being changed on Win 10 and they simply will no longer function correctly. With a quick search I could not find a report of anyone running FS2002 on Win 10 without issues. FS2002, FS9, FSX, there are issues with all of them under Win 10 in one way or another or with one add-on or another. Either go with FS9 as it is still more Win 10 friendly or use Win 7/Win XP for FS2002. Win XP would likely be the best option.

Skywatcher12 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Just installed FS2002 on Win 10 and it appears to work well. Guess I found one person that is running it without issues. Aircraft preview doesn't show in full screen but that's about it. Two decades have passed since FS2002 was released and now MSFS is about to be released with the latest state of the art weather. Well...if one wants to see realistic unbroken clouds at altitude, FS2002 is still the sim of choice!

plainsman Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I have also been running FS2002 on Windows 10 without issues. I have it on a secondary drive (M.2), not my boot drive. With everything maxed, it doesn't even change the fan speed. I7-9700K, RTX-2070, Asus Strix Z-390-H MB, 32gb G Skill 3000 CL15, Corsair Obsidian 750D case, WD Black 1tb M.2, Crucial CT500MX SSD, Seasonic Prime 750W Titanium PSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSeaman Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I've also been running FS2002 on Win10 since I got Win10 (3-4 years?) with no issues. I set it up where Win10 wanted to put it (in the Prog Files (X86) folder) and its been very stable. I guess three of us are just lucky. :rolleyes: BTW, anyone remember the Hover Control Bell 412 Huey for FS9? I finally got it converted to FS2002 using the older H/C Bell 212 and it flies about as good as any helo in FS2002. :cool: I know Hover Control has gone on to the the Great Recycle Bin In The Sky :( but I'm pretty sure these were the same MDL files used by Cera Sim in an FS9 payware title. :confused: Meaning, I'm pretty sure I can't post the complete aircraft but maybe I could post the FS2002 conversion parts (air file and aircraft.cfg) if you have the old H/C freeware version kicking around. :pilot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampa Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 try going into the properties for the launcher and set it to open in compatibility mode? 1+1=cow :p "WE jumped out a WINdow!" -Baymax (from Big Hero 6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David25210 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Im running FS2002 on Win10 just fine, installed it for fun and nostalgia reason recently.. Only thing that I dont seem to be able to figure out is a gauges flickering in windowed mode with external AA applied through nvidia inspector. The gauges surprisingly dont flicker if any red info text is displayed on the screen (fps count and coords, zoom , parking brake etc). In full screen no flicker at all, but I prefer windowed mode, and properly scaled to in order to get decent panel quality, 1280x960 window is about right.... if anyone could advice how to get rid of that gauges flicker, would greatly appreciate. Recent fs2002 flight below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
