Windows 10 compatibility

I have just restarting my flightsim with Fs2004 and have quite a lot of Justflight addons on cd, have recently discovered that because I am running windows 10 all my addons will not install into FS2004. I am really upset that this is the case :(

It is an issue that affects most games and software that uses any kind of standard copy protection on disc. Just Flight is not the only company affected. The only real solution to play your old games is to run a dual boot with Windows 7.

@Derek So I understand :( still a kick in the wallet for us poor users who have spent hundreds on software that is now useless. Still as they say once bitten twice shy, guess I'll look elsewhere for software now. Cant really afford to buy another OS just to run FS, so its the bin for the present stuff.

I agree. Please make sure you let Microsoft know how their actions in regard to this kind of change affect users and small software businesses alike.
