    I have Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 but the last CD is unreadable so I cannot install it...


    Hello,

    I have the original Flight Simulator 2004 in CD (4 CDs) and some compatible hardware (Saitek X52 flight joysticks) to play with it.

    My son (who is 11) wants to use the simulator in an old compatible PC that I still have but when installing it we have noticed that the CD 4 is unreadable by the CD reader so the installation cannot complete. Obviously, it's quite old version of Microsoft Simulator 2004 but I would like to be able to reinstall it in that computer so my son can start enjoying Flight simulator with the joysticks (

    Unfortunately, I don't have any backups done as the CDs were working correctly in the past and they were in great state. It was now when I tried to reinstall it when we realized this issue was happening.

    I have the original box with the COA (Certificate of Authenticity) in it. If required, I can share the numbers.

    It would be great if I could recover, at least, that CD 4 so I could enjoy again this great piece of software.

    Thank you very much,

    Antonio.

    :)
