    that game came out circa 2002 making it likely use disk checks which are incompatible with Vista and up thanks to a recent security update

    Hardcore Games:

    You are correct,  CFS3 was released in October 2002.  There are simple "tweaks" that will enable you to use CFS3 with Windows 10, 8 and 8.1.

    Even though CFS3 is "Not Compatible" with Windows 10 it will still run, but not as good as with Windows XP.

    1. Use the Compatibility Troubleshooter in the Control Panel/System & Security.  Indicate that CFS3 ran OK with Windows XP, Or Windows 7, etc.
    2. Check Combat Flight Simulator / SimOutHouse for additional tweaks and tips.
