This is probably also true of RF3.5: https://forums.realflight.com/index.php?threads/need-help.59221/#post-366727
Except that there isn't an RF3 Current Products forum.

RealFlight G3 (and G3.5) are from a time before Microsoft made significant fundamental changes to the Windows architecture and how applications interact with it. That shift caused problems for G3, whereas RealFlight G4 and subsequent versions were designed to adhere to the new requirements and function within them without extra effort by the user.
It's been almost 20 years since G3 was first released. I believe it is still possible to get it working on a modern version of Windows like 10, but it is not officially supported. If you want to try, then via the magic of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine you can still view a guide we wrote for how to get G3 working on then-new Windows Vista.
I'll leave you with this: RealFlight has improved an awful lot in the intervening decades. I wish you luck if you want to get your old version going, but I also strongly suggest you check out the latest version, RealFlight Evolution.
