There are several known issues running FMS 2 alpha 8.5, the latest and recommended release since 2004.
If your PC does not have a COMx serial port in the Windows registry you will need to add a device or a virtual COMx port to your computer. (Called the Ecomport error)
If running Win7 or WinVista, you will need a d3drm.dll for the Directx .dll that FMS needs. It goes in the FMS folder.
There is also a known issue with graphics flickering and Nvidia graphics cards under WinVista or Win7.
Search this forum for detailed fixes.
