Jane's Combat Simulations Israeli Air Force works without issue on Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows XP. However it will not run in virtual machines of these operating systems. There are graphical problems when running under Windows 7. The preferences menu does not work and while in hardware mode, all aircraft are white tanks; in software mode, they are shown as two tone tanks. The terrain does not render properly while viewed from the cockpit.
