How to Install Reflex XTR on Vista

Reflex XTR is a flight simulation program that was originally designed in the 1990s, far before the advent of Windows Vista. Installing Reflex XTR on your Windows Vista operating system requires that you use the built-in Compatibility Mode, enabling Reflex XTR to run under its native operating system environment. This will prevent bugs and other issues that could mar your gaming experience.
