Hello everyone,
I am backing back to flying Jane's Fighter Anthology after many years. I have a great goal of being able to build a multi version of FA with various Libs.
First, I want to give my thank to Centurian for the support when I was having problems running Jane's FA with LIBs installed. I am using Windows 10 in my both gaming laptops. I also have a video card (GTX / RTX series).
When I mounted .iso files (Disc) to install Jane's FA, I made sure to set my window's date back to 1998 before doing it. After patching FA to 1.02F, I resumed my window's date back to 2021 (current date).
I am able to start, load, and fly in Jane's FA's clean directory. And to make sure I do everything correctly, I installed it in a default drive (C: ).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIBs situation:
When I put one LIB file (For example: PMok Delta 1.2 Lib) into FA directory and start FA, I am able to load FA, go into a quick mission, select aircraft and fly.
However, if I put LIBs that require a multi Lib files (For example: 714 lib), FA still will load to a main screen. When I select a quick mission or try to select aircraft list in a single mission, I crashed to desktop.
Next, I tried running in a compatibility mode (Windows XP SP3), I still get the same results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried another Lib I wanted to fly (USN Raptor) Planeset 3.0, I got the same result when trying to go to a quick mission or load aircraft selection list from a single mission.
However, I decided to try another method of installing Libs. When I install the individual files, I am able to load Jane’s FA, open a quick mission, especially load the aircraft selection list from a single mission successfully! I am having fun with USN Raptor Lib.
I am looking forward to flying in FA Future LIBs, Remod Libs, and another Libs as soon I get the answers on how to get them working fully in FA.

FA’s NOCD version:
I decided to run an experiment to see if I get the same results when running nocd FA version (Ky3Mu4). After replacing FA.exe and LIB files from Ky3Mu4’s nocd, I extracted the LIB files from disc 1 only and replaced them in FA directory. I noted the latest date from one of LIB file (1998).
With a clean FA (nocd version), I am able to load FA, go to quick mission, and open aircraft selection list from a single mission like a clean FA version with default FA.exe.
I put one LIB file (PMok Delta mod), I got the same result by being able to do the same thing as above.
However, if I put a multi-lib files in FA directory, I crashed to desktop when loading a quick mission or opening aircraft selection list from a single mission.
By the way, when I used the individual files from USN Raptor, I am able to load FA, go to a quick mission, or load an aircraft selection list from a single mission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I found out is that, in order, to use any Libs that requires a multi LIB files, I am able to fully experience FA with libs if I use the individual files. FA won’t load a quick mission or open aircraft selection list if I use the packed multi-Lib files.
Note: I double checked to make sure that the Lib file’s stamp date are later after all default FA’s lib files.
Is anyone having the similar situation with Jane's FA in Windows 10? Is there a solution to the situation I am facing with the multi-Lib files?
