To answer "Mau Replier"...
I thought I was clear...However I repeat that...To make this game work...you NEED to have an old computer and on that computer mount an old operating system, like XP2 or 3. Since it was not easy to do, because, first I had to find this computer with old hardware then I had to format it, then I had to find the drivers for all the hardware and finally try to make everything work with a thousand attempts...then I had to mount the game and in the end...exhausted, as soon as I saw that the base game worked, I took three months of vacation in the Caribbean!!!
So I was repelled to use this damn game for a long time. Later, when I tried to mount the ADD on...the WHOLE game crashed!!! At that point I gave up everything and didn't think about it anymore. So... Dear "Mau Replier".....to recap...If you find an old PC, with an old operating system like XP, then you have some hope. If, however, you later dare to install the various expansions...then the game is no longer usable...
At least this was my sad experience with this game that promised well, but in the end gave me only disappointments...

You're an idiot frostbyte, there aren't any comments criticizing the game. It's all references to compatibility problems, but by all means, stay on your generational high horse boomer.

TYVM! Beautiful, and brings back memories (although Falcon 4.0 is even more nostalgic). I love all the comments from people who say "It's a very old program. This sucks!", despite the fact they're on a RETRO gaming site. These are the ones who are sadly unfortunate enough to not have lived during the glorious former age of gaming, like the '90s or even '80s, and only care about flashy 4K graphics and anti-aliasing, without caring about gameplay or the other IMPORTANT aspects of gaming. I feel for them. They're like drug fiends hooked on digital dope. Anyway, thx for the upload. Awesome game, at least for REAL old-school Gamers.

Has anyone ever thought of re-writing this game through and through? With the smart game geeks who wrote this fantastic game back in 1999, you'd think someone today in 2024 would be able to rewrite a perfect game for Windows 10 or 11. Right now, it's like putting a square steel peg into a round hole. The instructions for installing SuperPro 9.4 (I guess by Slikk), they make no sense of logic and they don't work. The same with other patches. They are like putting a teaspoon of sugar in your gas tank, they destroy everything. I may experiment with a Virtual Machine for Windows 98, but from what I understand, they are not strong enough to run a flight sim game. GOG and Steam are no help either. I don't think they will ever carry this game. We're screwed big time.

CD Romance now has a portable version of this game that is click&play. No installation or configuration required at all and runs fine on Windows 10 and Windows 11. I will not link it directly since I don't know if it is allowed, but just go there and search for USAF.

Hola instale el simulador y cuando trato de ingresar me saca del juego, que puedo hacer para solucionar el problema

Bah! Surely the images certainly offer a nice game ... However it is a very dated program. The only solution is to get a PC from a few years ago ... (let's say at least 10 years ago). On that computer we mount an old OS ... like the XP 2 or 3. So, then, you have to get a "crack no cd" file. Only in this way have I managed, at least in part, to make the game work. Unfortunately, when I apply the "Super Pro 9.4" mod then the pains begin! I have never seen a more rambling, confusing and devoid of any practicality mod! Once unzipped, (if you can find it), there are 5 or 6 installers, the first four are numbered, the others absolutely not! And no one knows exactly if it is necessary to respect a certain order ... or not. Also, the four numbered files require you to add a "2" in the folder name "USAF". This is because the numbered installers "MUST" create a folder outside the one created during the installation with the DVDs! And the name that will be given to this folder ... guess what it will be? But of course "USAF" ... What a fantasy !!! Then you have to take several files and transfer them from one directory to another, and finally another file, which you can NEVER install correctly. In fact, at the end of its installation, it makes fun of us saying that we were wrong to give it the extraction path !!! Well ... You can try ten thousand paths ..... it will always give the same error message ... Wrong installation path ... Uninstall and reinstall the program ..... endlessly. The final annoyance of the already tangled system is represented by the insertion of the Tackleberry Patch! Which very often, instead of solving problems, creates them itself !!! You tell me if I don't throw everything out the window first! Strange game Professor Falken ..... the only way to win is NOT to play ..... How about a good game of chess ???

Jane's USAF is an excellent entry-level military combat simulator. Instead of focusing on a single aircraft, the player can fly multiple aircraft that were in the Air Force's inventory way back in 2000. The F-117, which retired several years ago, is a flyable aircraft. Jane's USAF is "arcade" enough that it allows novice players to easily get into it, yet it offers just enough sophistication (e.g., pulse-Doppler radar models, jammers/countermeasures, flight models, etc) to keep it interesting. The tutorial missions are very helpful, but you will still need a PDF copy of the manual and keyboard reference card (easily available online). Since the sim was released in 2000, the best way to get this to run is with Windows 9x/ME or Windows XP. If running Windows 7 or later, there are modern fixes/hacks (e.g., the "tackleberry patch") that can make it work, though I have not tried them. For Windows 9x/ME/XP, I would recommend mounting the virtual CD-ROM images in Daemon Tools (v3.47 for Windows 9x, v4.46 for Windows XP).

go to janes usaf folder and open config.exe file change the primary driver to your own computer drivers display(nvidia .gtx .mpbile chipset etc)
now start the game and go to your prefence icon in the game and choose the setting what you like or suitable for you

I could run USAF.exe by enabling compatibility settings "run in 640*480 screen resolution".
But still my game is stuttering in the mission even in the lowest graphics level.

Hi. For installation, when it says "insert Disk2", eject the virtual driver, and then click and open the second .iso file to mount the second virtual disk. Then it automatically did the job.
At last, you'll be asked again to mount Disk1 by the same way.
But after installation, my Game doesn't come up for some reason. I appreciate it if someone can help with that part.

Didn't work we already did everything you said but it's crashing when starting
Allen 2019-08-10 -4 points
I installed the game using the setup.exe. During installation, I ejecting the first disk out of the drive and clicked on the second iso and continued the install. I then move the nocd exe to the install directory. It launches fine with the intro but then crashes when it starts to load. Any Ideas?

Hi,Rajesh
Just download the NOCD file listed below.
Unzip it. Then replace it with the same file

The game will start without any issues.
Please enjoy!
