Just curious, did you read the minimum system requirements? You might want to.

Thanks Brian ... But your pc is way below specs , and your video card doesnt support T & L at all .
you have a
Intel Pentium III, ~550MHz
96MB RAM
Diamond Viper V730
16mb ram
and your video card and drivers are way outta date (Driver Date/Size: 5/13/1999) for any modern games
you need at least a
800mhz to 1.0 ghz cpu
256 mb's of ram
a video card with at least 64mb's of ram (Gforce 4 at least ) to play AH 2 ... Sorry man .
(maybe that fat Elf will bring ya a new pc )

nope sorry, HiTechcreations stopped support for AH 1 when AHII came out.
there might be a version out on the internet smoewhere, but other than flying offline alone, there is not much you can do with it (ohh i forgot LAN play directly connected to another PC in the room).

I think Air attack (Fighter Ace 1.5) is hosted on a server in England/Europe . not shure if they have a free trail or not .
I think you can play combat flight simulator 1 and 2 ,crimson skys, and probely some of the ww1 type sim's , red ace,the earlier verson of dawn of aces,ect
BF1942 may be playable also with the grafics turned all the way down .
But for all the modern Flight games your gonna need a better/newer pc thats set up more towards gaming .
AH1 even in offline mode may not work on your pc . (it went beyond my pent 2 550mhz /intel 810 32mb grafics around verson 1.08) 1.14 was the last verson of ah1 .
