My son found an old flight sim F22 lighting3 and asked if we could play it....

Minimum spec: Win95/98-Pentium 133(yes 1core 133Mhz with 66 bus!)GPU compatable W95 - 32Mo RAM - 220Mo disk space

Actual: W10/64 - 2500k 4 core@ 4.3Ghz - GTX970 -8GB RAM - Batman 33000Mb of install

I didn't think it would work, but after clicking on install on the autoplay and waiting about +5 minutes it came up with the input key window and it works.

The big delay is rather strange I can only guess Windows in downloading something.

I think about the tech from this 99 game to now 133/200Mhz single core to 4000Mhz quad or more cores.

I find the graphics shockingly good bearing in mind the age and am quite impressed that win10 can work this old game.

Here's A little film, we've got Lock on but it's too hard.

If you have any problems try to run it in w98 compatibility mode or even XP if you dont have w98 on the list showing. If there are no crashes then I suppose youre good with software requirements ( DX, VC++ etc... )

You can also assign it to only one core and see if that helps. Task manager find process, right click on it and selct affinity, and use cpu0 only.
