I've heard of some people getting it to work using WINE (Windows Emulator software) but it's not a simple matter of "plug and play"

I'd still like to get Ubuntu off of this PC.  I put it on there myself, in a need of desparation.(<<--OEM Vista-No Disk)   I realise now that that was quite foolish.
If it works for you though, that's cool.  For me,  I have no use for it.

Vista  :old:

Older AH versions did work using wine but afaik the later versions changed something in graphics handling that messes it up.

A few years ago I ran it  with wine but it was slow and the controls were not very good,  I have not tried it since!
 It is still on my linux puter and will play offline I think since it was never updated, I have never  checked!

I still fly old AH2 version 2.12.4 on PcLinuxOS for offline practice and mission development. It works great. I published DETAILED instructions for this setup here:

http://www.askmisterwizard.com/LINUX/PcLinuxOs2008Minime/SwitchingToPcLinuxOs2008Page01Full.htm

I tried to put a later version of Aces High into this setup but it failed. I didn't work on it very hard, and I can't say whether or not the current versions will work. I use Windoze XP when I use current versions of Aces High.
