Key points
- The game requires a Glide and DirectDraw wrapper to be playable on Windows 7.
- A joystick is required for proper gameplay in Expert mode.
- DirectX compatibility is only available through a patch and does not work on modern versions of Windows.
- The game will run on almost any computer out there.
- The game is locked to 20 frames per second and cannot be unlocked.
General information
- CombatSim.com - A huge hub dedicated to all war games and simulations

Essential improvements
Patches
V1.17f and V1.12f
- This patch will not work for the Spanish version of the game.
The 1.17f patch is the latest official patch for the game. It fixes many of the crashing issues that earlier versions had, increases multiplayer stability, enhances the avionics\flight model, adds Direct3D support, along with many other things.
Modern Windows Patching
- F-15 cannot be started from a shortcut. It must be started from the executable it self or the main menu will be broken.
The menus for F-15 do not work correctly on Windows 7 and requires a DirectDraw wrapper to fix. ddwrapper is the only DirectDraw wrapper that works with F-15 currently. The simulation will work correctly if nGlide is used to emulate the 3dfx renderer.
