Playing Wings Over Vietnam on Windows 11

Today I’m flying Wings Over Vietnam, a flight simulator video game released back in 2004 for Windows XP. I’ve been trying to run this game on a modern PC for a while. Officially the game was not compatible with Windows 11, but I finally managed to make it run in this version.

The game looks and runs very smooth. The company that released Wings Over Vietnam later released Strike Fighters 2, a superior game in both graphics and compatibility with new Windows versions. But unfortunately, despite being a technologically superior game, Strike Fighters 2 lacks the multiplayer feature that an older game like Wings Over Vietnam has.

Introducing my new Discord Server

Now, since I could finally make the game work on a modern PC, I’d like to form a group of “virtual pilots” to give this game a new wave of life and maybe, just maybe, convince the original developer to give Strike Fighters 2 the multiplayer feature it desperately needs.

At first, I want to try the multiplayer feature of all the “Wings of” game series. The Strike Fighters games series has a great community of fans and modders that have been keeping the game alive for more than a decade, so I’d like to help the Strike Fighters community to get to a new level and bring all of those planes, weapons, effects and scenarios to the multiplayer arena, or in this case, the multiplayer skies.

Join the new Discord server to fly some Strike Fighters, and other flight sims, missions together.

Strike Fighters 2: Lockheed C-130 Hercules (Gameplay and Download)

The C-130 entered service with the U.S. in 1956, followed by Australia and many other nations. During its years of service, the Hercules has participated in numerous military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations.

To play with this massive plane is pretty challenging since is not that maneuverable and fast as a fighter jet but it’s a good change for those days when you need a more relax fly.
