Is there any way I can use on a Windows PC running Vista as it's operating system? Thanks.

At least Reflex 5.03 runs on Vista. I think this thread explains how it is installed: Reflex and Vista don't mix! (http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=59211)
You can update your version of Reflex. Go to the Reflex Page and download the free updates: Reflex Product Store (http://www.reflex-sim.de/reflex-sim/shop/catalog/default.php?cPath=21)

If you can find another computer to install the game on, you can copy the program file once installed, and move it to your Vista installation via a thumbdrive. Once you copy it to your computer, just open up the folder and play it from there, or copy the .exe file to your desktop, and viola.

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up trading the 5.00.5 for 5.03.5 at my LHS. Great sim!

Do you really got a version 5.03.5?
The REFLEX Site provides a version 5.03.0 only.

I believe so, but I might be wrong. I'll check and tell you later.

I just went thru this MRC will upgrade you to 5.04 that "will" run on Vista.
Just send them the XTR Disc and USB/cable, with a Money Order for $73.00 USD.
You will get a new disc (5.04) and a new USB that works with all radios.

I have a general question about Reflex XTR, once you buy a version on disk from a website or your LHS, does Reflex put out free updates that'll update your version (5.03) to the new version (5.04)?

heli_cuzz,
I think they went to ver 5.04 because someone was pirating the hardware USB key. So they came out with a new version requiring a new key and as bigragu says it costs some bucks.
