  • Export saves: export the savegame files from your browser, so you can switch to another browser or computer. You can also use them in an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Import saves: import savegames that you exported before with the Export saves button.
  • Download disk: export the whole game from your browser, with all your savegames. Useful to switch to an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Reset game files: if you somehow messed up the game files, you can reset them to an exact copy of the original.
  • Reset saves: delete all savegames from your browser. We recommend that you export them first: there is no turning back!
Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

I recommend you read my first comment
where I explain the installation of the game

It's not as hard as the first time I got the game running.

you have to start with game executable "setup.exe", wait for the blue splash screen, press space bar. In first comment the guy explains how to run it. Sound Blaster doesn't work well. I've been playing this with the emulator 86box using a 486DX4 100mHz, basic sound blaster card and still have sound issues. Will have to research what's the fix is.

in game executable select:setup.exe
and press START
when the game files are loaded
the logo will appear
[the dream team
proudly presents
msflight simulator 5.0 release]
press space bar and the setup window will appear with 3 system configuration:
display
Keyboard
mouse
You can change the setting to EGA 640x350 16 colors if you have any problem with VGA 320x400 256 colors or SVGA 640x400 256 colors (512k)
although I recommend that you play with the default configuration

select install flight simulator and wait 3 seconds or more
until the cover of the game appears

in it a short sound of the propeller of an airplane will be heard
and a window will appear
just press ok
then the game will allow you to choose a sound board
although you can play with PC Speaker or with Adlib/PC Speaker
if soundblaster is not doing very well with game performance

then the game will allow you to choose 2 types of scenario
Dynamic scenario and auto weather generation
or you can just press ok without checking any of the 2 boxes

as well as the joystick configuration (if you don't have a generic controller connected) you can leave the box unchecked and proceed to the last page of the window which congratulates us on completing the game configuration

just press Run Flight Simulator
and now you can play the game

you can change the settings later by pressing Options-Preferences
if you have any problem with the game

You can also adjust the cycles from 7000 to 10000 with Ctrl+F11 or Ctrl+F12 if you have problems with the performance of the emulator.

This game doesn't run properly for me. I get half a second of sound then it cuts out. Same happens if I download it and run on DOSBox. Am using Windows 10.
