Windows 10

[RUSTYMORLEY]

I recently had a few problems with my existing computer and I have decided to upgrade to Windows 10 whilst I am having the repairs done.

Might I ask you guys here at Combat Ace if First Eagles 1(First Generation ) runs  okay on Windows 10. 

Thanks in advance for any advice or information you can offer.

Cheers

I can't comment specifically on FE1/gold, but I'm sure some flyers of FE1 will pitch in soon with helpful tips. I wouldn't be surprised if similar tips that work for FE2 will also work well for FE1. FE2, for example, works fine on Win10 - I do however recommend running it, and SF2, in Win7 compatibility mode. Also, for FE2, I recommend checking over my post linked to below, in case you get poor frame rates in Win10:

Happy flying,

Well I have installed Windows 10 on my new rig and got it working okay, but sadly I have lost First Eagles. I have tried various suggestions from posts which I read at this site but sadly, it will not run anymore. The game will open and display but when I create a mission and try to load it, the whole game crashes to desktop. Any more ideas or useful suggestions will be gratefully received.  Thanks in advance.

The only thing I can think of, which I may have mentioned in the previous posts, is to run the FE exe in Win7 compatibility mode - although my advice applies to FE2 (and SF2). Hopefully someone who runs the 1st gen. of FE on Win10 will be able to give some suggestions.

Already tried that, but thanks anyway VonS.
