Perhaps not. The only difference I ever saw between old and new versions of
FS2 was the lack of copy protection. The new version was loctated at an
absolute address. This means that it may run on your hard drive if the
resident programs like ACC don't take up too much RAM else tough.

For speed purposes I would run it from a Mark Williams bootable RAM disk.
