Installing a Couple of Flight Sims

Installing Wings over Vietnam and Strike Fighters Project 1...older games, I know, but I want to start using my simulator games on the Alienware system.  I'll get Strike Fighters 2 next payday and maybe install Blackshark and A10C sometime this week, also.

EDIT:

Installed both but I believe that Wings over Vietnam is the successor to SFP1, so I'm going to remove SFP1.  Played some last night and I enjoyed myself.  Went to ThirdWire's website and downloaded the patches and installed without a hitch.  One problem, though, is that the game continues to use my integrated graphics card instead of my dedicated 580M.  Not that it matters with this game, though, since it is older and this system is so powerful.  I tooled with the game's settings as well as the Nvidia control panel and could not get the game to use the 580M.
