Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 and Windows 10

How do you get cfs3 to run in Windows 10?  I have a Toshiba Satellite Intel Core i7.

Slowhand818:   Thank you for your reply.  I have all versions of CFS3 except OFF.  ETO will only work with separate installs for each ERA 1-5.  Windows 10 required a different fix to get it to work.  After fixing each CFS3 version I ran cfs3config.  Microsoft's information did not help.

How do you get CFS3 to run with Windows 10?

CFS3 did run with Windows 8 and 8.1 but will NOT run with Windows 10.

How do you fix this?

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

Hi renereimannZF,

I have just upgraded to windows10 from windows7 where I had a fully working copy. I have done nothing to the installation, and am interested to find out what you did to get it to work. Could you please help with some info on what to do?

Kind regards, MTV040.

MTV040:  In addition to the "Program Compatibility Troubleshooter" there are other minor tweaks you can do.  Unfortunately I can not discuss this here.  I suggest you visit one of the CFS3 websites to research any problem you may have.  I am sorry that I can not be more helpful.

Jim:  You have to run the "Program Compatability Troubleshooter".  You can select the previous Windows OS, such as Windows XP, Service Pack 2 or 3.  You also can see how other CFS3 gamers have fixed problems by using one or more websites for CFS3 gamers.

GOOD LUCK!
