I had the good surprise that the recent releases of Wine can run fs2004 quite well (not perfectly tough!)
I tried it on my Ubuntu 12.10 Quetzal 64 bits, with wine ppa activated so that i uses wine 1.5.29. I have a Nvidia card 7300GT with proprietary drivers activated.
running it is ok then, with the same limitations as described on the appdb. Then i decided to focus on grabbing some FPS as the game under wine has about 50% of the FPS i have under the proprietary OS.
The first try for me was to run it under a separate X server.
Code: Select all
# on a terminal, under my main gnome-shell session
sudo X :3 -ac -terminate
# then :
DISPLAY=:3 metacity &
DISPLAY=:3 /usr/bin/xterm &
# on the new X session, on xterm :
cd ".wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator 9"
ck-launch-session wine fs9.exe
The error messages are :
