Run without #4 CD
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2008 7:38 amEvery time I begin FS9 I am asked to put first #4CD in the drive. Is there any way to avoid this procedure, copying those files into the computer, for example and editing some .exe file?...

Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2008 8:41 amShhhh. Making you use disk 4 to run the sim, is Microsoft's way of preventing piracy. And since SimV has a STRICT no piracy policy, ways of circumventing this measure are not spoken of.

Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2008 2:01 pmI believe once FS starts you can remove the disc.
But you must have disc 4 installed to start the sim.
If this is not what you're looking for please re-read the above posts.
