I installed FS2004 & fs2002 into Windows 8 Pro and found no aircraft displayed in any window when selecting an aircraft and the aircrafts will not turn left or right while on the simulated ground either of the joystick or keyboard keys. but when the aircrafts are flying everything works as normal apart from the mouse that seems to swell and turns black, but when I place the mouse arrow on the instrument buttons the mouse arrow turns white. the rest of the fsXXXX works normal.
