As in the 1.4 patch for USNF97? I'm referring to Fighters Anthology, patched to 1.02. The crashes aren't guaranteed but have happened during or on completion of some quick custom missions.

Whoops, I read it wrong. Regarding FA, try using my fix. You'll need MS ACT 5.x or 6.x to use it.

I actually managed to get this working with a fresh install using only bellarmine's fix (avoids issues related to changing compatibility mode to XP). My original install included the no-CD patch, so the issues might have been related to that.

I'll play around with it some more -- while having to use the physical disc again is a pain, I absolutely love having the midi music enabled.

Most crashes seems to be solved by forcing the game to run in 640x480x8 which is the game's menu resolution (no matter if you select a higher resolution in-flight). Other crashes are multi-core related, which my fix handles. But since I'm using digital music, I don't know if my fix corrects MIDI playback.

FA works out of the box in modern windows and with digital audio, but it has flickering problems with Wrappers, while ATF and USNF97 doesn't.
also the NoCD cracks for USNF97 and ATF doesn't work either since they were made with 16 bit/dos.

I put together some fixes that I use with Fighters Anthology while running it on Windows 7 and 10.

Here's the link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rnMQvaNY3Hs … 386e2xREBFBofb4

There is MIDI patch, fix for color pallete corruption on Windows 7, fix for crash when trying to play videos from Ukraine campaign, shapefix for several swing wing aircraft and official 1.02F patch. See readme.txt inside archive for more info.
