I installed Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9) On Ubuntu 11.10 with Wine 1.3.28 on HP 540 Laptop. It runs good so far. The only problem I noticed is the sound intermittently missing.
The multi disc installation process was easy, I just have to manually mount the next disc via Wine configuration > Drives setting.
Here are some screen shoots I took. Enjoy.

I tried to install mounting the disks using Wine configuration but for some reason when I get to the second disc and I click OK to continue, the installer doesn't find the next disc. I made sure that I clicked on Apply and OK on the configuration box, but no luck. I see the installer is asking for drive D and on the configuration box I have /media/FS_DISC2/ assigned to D: I guess I must be doing something wrong or I'm missing something. Can you help? Any ideas? Thank you.
