[Wine] MS Flight Simulator?

[Gerry Visel]

   Thanks.  I was trying to load FS-X, Deluxe Edition, which had the
problem loading the second DVD.  After browsing the WineHQ site for FS
experiences, it doesn't look like anyone has gotten it running, but
older versions started, at least.  

   I pulled out my old FS98 version and tried loading it.  It does
install, (fron one CD,) and does start up like it did in Winders.
However, as you start to taxi, it crashes and disappears.  I'm going to
try starting it from a terminal window to see if I can capture anything.

Thanks,
Gerry
