	Ummmmmmm.......FS98? Wow. :) I've tried CFS2 and some other MS games, not 
much luck. FS98 is not a 3D accelerated app, is it? If not, you might have 
better luck. Best way to find out is just try it. That said........FS98 is 
ancient. While I doubt the latest MSFS versions will run in WINE, X-Plane 
runs nicely. :) http://x-plane.com Some issues with joystick support in the 
latest version, I couldn't get my Sidewinder working but I think someone 
commented (either here or on a Linux list) that they got at least partial 
joystick functionality on their setup.
