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?

    I was finally able to get an older Combat Flight Simulator program to load and function.  However, the joystick (Saitek, ST290 Pro) works in the program setup but not with the program.  Combat Flight Simulator 3 still will not load even after going through the compatibility troubleshooting.

    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

    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.

    Kind regards, MTV040.
