I have no idea if IGG will allow this direct link, but in case you're interested,
you don't necessarily need to have Steam installed to play this game.
You can drop these files in the main folder and the game will work without Steam =>

(works with 1.0.3 version of the game - 05-03-2018)
A WORD OF WARNING THOUGH...
This... is the most HARDCORE tennis simulation you'll ever play.
And I really, reaaaaaaaaally mean hardcore.
Tennis Elbow even feels "easy" now, compared to this one. lol
http://igg-games.com/tennis-elbow-2013-free-download.html
At the moment, I prefer Tennis Elbow better cos at least I'm doing okay at it. 😜

You want to understand McEnroe feelings? Play this game. 🤣
I just tried to play a game in Full Ace Tennis Simulator...
100% of my balls were "fault".
I didn't score even ONE time.
Even the first time ever I played Tennis Elbow, it wasn't that hard. lol
I'm not sure I'll have the patience to learn about these new mechanics and physics...
(physics of the ball seems more realistic in Full Ace Tennis Simulator)
Despite a few similar controls, the physics are SO different that I'll have to re-learn everything from scratch, I'm afraid...
The learning curve is going to be STEEP.
(Edit: yes IT IS. I just spent an HOUR to learn how to serve well in this game...)
TIP: PLAY THE TUTORIAL. Seriously.
Edit:
Ok, after comparing the two during a few hours, I can safely say that Tennis Elbow is still the king.🤗❤️️
(for the information, I used Tennis Elbow 2013 v1.0j + Patch Maxou Ultimate ATP 2016.)
Now I got much better at this game. (took me 2/3 hours. It'll take at least twice as much to master it though)
I prefer better the ball aiming system in Tennis Elbow, which makes the game way less random and frustrating.
At the moment, I feel that I can't be that accurate in Full Ace...
The way I have to move the "markers"(whatever you call this) feels too "jerky" and unnatural.
Obviously, I used the same gamepad (Logitech F310) in both games, and the settings were good, so I don't think it was my fault.
The serving might be better in Full Ace.
You do have more controls than in Tennis Elbow, but I wonder if it isn't "overkill" though...
Speaking of overkill...
it's only my personal opinion, but don't you think that the "prepare" mechanic might be unneeded?
In case you don't know about it yet, basically, it means that you have to push LT or RT to "prepare" your player to hit with his left or right hand.
Now, I realize that it gives you even more control over the way you want to play, but it doesn't feel so good on any gamepad though.
Often, I feel like this game might use too many buttons. lol
It even hurt my hands after a while. Oh well, maybe I'll see if I can map the keys a different way... lol
This is a realistic game, but I wonder if the gameplay wouldn't be improved if this "prepare" feature was automatic?
Still, I do agree with people that when you start master all of this, it does feel very satisfying though, like most simulators in which you have full control over your character/vehicule/whatever.
TIP: This game might be borderline unplayable on a keyboard.
So get a gamepad if you don't already!😉
WE ARE THE ROBOTS
Especially with mods, animations are WAY better in Tennis Elbow.
Players feel very much "alive", you see them breaking their rackets, expressing their frustration or joy when they score, and more importantly, they just move around more realistically.
Players in Full Ace walk like robots. lol

Both have extremely outdated graphics, but you don't care about that in these games.
With mods, it's different though.
The MAXOU patch adds realistic textures of well-known stadiums and it really improves the ambience dramatically.
Just to give you an idea of how good it looks =>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukl1kcH2g9w
On the other hand, Full Ace has better 3D(and maybe even lighting?), and without even using mods, so we can only hope the best for the future.
Both have dead crowds though. lol (in Tennis Elbow, if you use the 3D courts, you'll see the crowd applauding sometimes though... Most of the time, it looks dead. lol)
VOICES RECORDED IN A PHONE BOOTH
Sound is terrible in both "vanilla" games.
Voices in Full Ace are so bad that you might want to turn them off completely.
Comparing it to Tennis Elbow with mods would be unfair, obviously, as the mod MAXOU adds realistic ball sounds, real players voices, and realistic commentaries.
It's the ultimate experience.😁
BAD OPTIMIZATION IN THE MENU?
And finally, I don't know if it's just me (I didn't see complaints about it on Steam),
but whenever I open the Exhibition menu, for example, it takes AGES to load.
And it seems to be related to the countless players we can choose.
I tried to open that too and I saw the players faces loading extremely slowly, one head every 5 seconds... And it seems there are thousands of them.... lol
While playing, it seems to work perfectly though.
But the menu needs to be seriously improved.

_______________________________________________________________
GRAPHICS: 76%
I don't like the word "outdated", especially cos the whole thing does look "coherent", and nothing shocks me.
Still, it looks like it was made in the early 2000s.
SOUNDS: 55%
I feel that developers made the voices themselves.
They don't sound convincing to say the least.
Ball sounds are quite good, actually, while environment sounds are minimal.
ANIMATION: 64%
Fortunately, you'll focus so much on aiming the ball accurately that you won't see much the terribly unnatural moves of the players.
Or the dead stiff crowd. lol
GAMEPLAY: 94%
This is where it shines.
Nothing ever came close to that level of control in a tennis game.
Physics-wise, it IS the most realistic tennis game ever made.
OVERALL RATING: 90%
This is a GREAT tennis game, and I stand firm by my opinion that it's still #2 compared to Tennis Elbow, but it's definitely a keeper for any tennis fan.
The more you play, the more you love it.
This rating will likely increase if we can get mods comparable to the ones for Tennis Elbow. (MAXOU, ITST, etc.)
..... Aaaaand the first mods are coming =>
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1313387113
😁👍

__
Addendum:
I have to say I NEVER played the first versions(pre-Steam) of Full Ace Tennis, so I went with an open mind.

Oh sorry, I guess that's because you would need to register on that website.

Wait just a few minutes.😉👍

I have the same problem, did you find a way to fix it?
on another page I found this game but an older version and yes it worked, but now I am looking for this version because apparently it is the last one that exists

Nope! I tried every crack I could find! (on CS.RIN.RU)
Do you also have Windows 10?
I still had Windows 7 last month, and the game was working perfectly.
Now, I have a brand-new gaming PC, and I can't launch this game anymore...
This is very frustrating... Hmmm

You mean, v1.0.9.5 (or 1.095)?
It's old but I guess better than nothing! lol
Yes, of course, I'd like to have it!
By the way, have you seen Tennis Elbow 4 on steam?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/760640/Tennis_Elbow_4/
I can't wait until they release it! (normally in june!)
If we can't play Full Ace Tennis Simulator anymore (I won't install Steam anyway lol), I guess I'll just focus on Tennis Elbow instead!😅

wo I was not aware, I think that if it would be worth buying it, I was investigating and the creator plans to have cross-play(console-pc), and hopes to have a public demo for the month of June (in the best of cases)

If I have windows 10 and the game does not work for me,
But if I download this same game from another page but version 1.9.5, and it works correctly, apparently the problem is version 1.14.20 which is the last one, that's why I was looking for it but I suppose that I will have to continue using 1.95 that if it works correctly cracked

I fix it, well it was our fault because we don't read all the instructions, open the :How to run / How to start file (can't remember the exact name) and do what they told you to do in that file, pretty simple.
