So sorry to hear that. I've only ran this game on keyboard/mouse and on 64 bit Windows. If you're not using Windows and keyboard/mouse, then I can't say for certain that it will completely work properly and is most likely the issue. If you are using those, double check that they are properly plugged into the PC and they are recognized by the device manager. You should just be able to unzip the zip file and open up "The Flight.exe". If you wouldn't mind sending me more details regarding the error message, I'll take a look into it
