But after setup/installation this program runs not properly under
Windows XP HOME and I deinstalled it.

Wow! The screenshots show my town San Francisco modeled nicely. Just
what Osama needs to fly a jet into the Bank of America building!

I gotta download this and try it out even though I've sworn off any
sort of games as huge time-wasters...:-)

I had the same experience with prior versions. I'm going to give this one a
try. With XP gaining so many desktops, I hope XP compatibility gets
resolved.

please tell me your experiences with 0.9.5 after installation under
Win XP HOME. AFAIK the 0.9.5 is the actual version and IMO is not very
compatible with this OS. I never getting to start the aircraft nor fly a
normal round.
