Install/Run Jetfighter IV: Fortress America on modern PCs?

[TheJetfighter]

Hello everyone!

Thanks for let me join the page. This is my first post in the forum and I hope I can get some light in this issue. 
I've been a fan of the Jetfighter saga since the nineties and so far I've been able to play all the games of the saga on modern PCs except Jetfighter IV: Fortress America.
I have tried different VMs (VM Ware, VirtualBox) with different windows versions (98, XP, 7, Vista) and different JFIV releases.
On some cases I could run the game to the point to actually get into flying. The problem is that it get extremely slow with a flickering image.
Has someone been able to successfully run JFIV on a modern set up? If so, what would be the process? 

Thanks in advance for the comments.

Interesting project.

I don't remember the preferred graphics driver for this? D3D? Glide?

You may need to google around for a graphics wrapper depending on what graphics settings can be selected.

For games like this I have a multiboot rig so I can run Win XP and Win 7 native rather than under a VM. Not sure if you have that option.

Sorry I can't be more help at the moment.

According to the game's box, it requires Direct X compatible 3D accelerator. For other games I use nGlade as the wrapper. 

I haven't tried the game on a native windows (95, 98, XP) boot.

What software do you use for multiboot?

No special software just Windows Boot Manager. Here is an article that can get you started.

There are plenty more examples out there in internet land.

That's a game I've not seen in a long, long time. Oh the memories.
