I think this Block should be removed, even though FS98 is still well preserved... ...its too old, this block should be [for] all MSFS before FS2000, or MSFS From the Last Century; see how funny the beginning of this game was!
There has been activity admitting to current use. As I told you not long ago, I retrofitted one of my CFS1 installs with the FS98 scenery files; mind you, the textures aren't even on par with the default CFS1 textures and default missions have to be tweaked (seems global warming has caused the oceans to rise more than thought since WW2) but I can fly the world in CFS1 without searching to install myriads of little add-on scenery files.

[quote]Or wipe it out..don't you think? Mostly because I don't see too much activity here. Three pages make this block

If you want my opinion...

The FS'98 Forum isn't broken...

...so I reckon, don't try and fix it... ;)...!

I still have, and play, Flight Unlimited II, Pro Pilot 2, Fly!, Apache Longbow, etc,.....as well as the occasional excursion in FS '98, FS 2000, and FS 2002...

..and not forgetting the various Combat Flight Sim series... :)...!

...and even my 1982 Sinclair Spectrum "Tomahawk" Helicopter Game!...

So my life doesn't just revolve around FS 2004 and FSX... ::)...!

Paul....I'll play with anything involving my Stick of Joy!.... ;)... ;D...!

.....I wonder how many little Johnie's out there are happily playing FS '98 on Dad's ancient Win '95 Computer, with no problems?

Hey Fozz don't play with your "Stick of Joy" too much you will lose what little vision you still have ;)

I monitor my Joystick usage as directed by a qualified doctor....I just hope it isn't too little too late :-X

I like it because you can still fly helicopters inside bridges like the Golden Gate bridge and Brooklyn  etc same with 2k but 2k2  and fs9 crashes the helicopter -- unless I am doing something wrong that I haven't figured out yet.  Also the WTC (rip) is still there and has a heli pad to land on

Lost in FS9 go to Realism and turn collision detection off and you should be able to buzz bridges again ;)

I know I'm late getting to this thread, but if I could find the disc, I would probably have it installed and use it every once in a while. I just cannot find that disc for the life of me.

My parents bought me it for my 8th birthday in 2000. I played it all the time until I was about 12 and got a playstation.
Last time I played it was just for a laugh about October 08!!!

I have all my MS Flight Sims safely stored; FS '98, FS 2000, FS 2002, FS 2004, and FSX.....

...including Flight Unlimited I, II, and III; Pro Pilot 1 and 2, FLY!, etc, and various Helicopter Sims from way, way back!

..and I have great fun re-running all of them from time to time.. :-*...!

....so much nostalgia!.. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

An FS98 online source. You may have to speak to store managers to get it locally.
