What works
OEM DVD version installs nicely with gcdemu/cdemu-daemon. Just click the drive in a File Manager to mount it after loading with gcdemu.
Runs from 64 or 32-bit wine prefix.
What does not
Videos require WMP, Indeo, or Shockwave Flash player. Did not install to test.
Various text in main UI repeat endlessly and some screen elements are blank.
Workarounds
winetricks -q msxml3 msxml4 verdana
Gauges in .cab files for various aircraft will not load without msxml3 and msxml4. It appears that only the verdana font is required as opposed to corefonts.
What was not tested
Extended flight or features.
Hardware tested
