About Microsoft Flight Simulator 98

Microsoft Flight Simulator '98 is the sequel to the popular Microsoft Flight Simulator '95, with many improvement, including the ability to fly helicopters and aerial stunt plane and more. Terrain maps are plotted from actual NASA satellite photos, and you can even enter actual GPS coordinates and that will take you directly over a precise area.

Wine configuration

This is with a configuration directory after DirectX was installed and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.

$ winecfg

Once the .wine directory is built the configuration tool will start and you can set a virtual desktop in the graphics tab if you wish. This is a good time to also set your Audio driver in the Audio tab.

Installing Microsoft Flight Simulator 98

Mount the install CD and then change directory (cd) to your CD-ROM drive and run the setup.

tom@tuxonfire ~ $ cd /mnt/cdrom
tom@tuxonfire /mnt/cdrom $ wine setup.exe
tom@tuxonfire /mnt/cdrom $ fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.





Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 first run

cd to the install directory and run: $ wine FLTSIM98.EXE





Not all flights run, I have not run all of them but a couple of the flights crashed on me... just so you know.
