  1. working on an alternate map

    olpaint,,,try overiding the date to something way different,,, and,,you have to be starting from the off manager,,,and not a shortcut to cfs3.exe..... but if you have it in all those folders,,,pretty much has to work,,,,,,,
  2. usb devices getting quirky

    ok..already did that,,,and noticed that joystick and trackir are on same hub,,,,stick is drawing 25ma,,,track ir..(not even on,,ie game is not running,) is drawing 256ma bandwith on the usb host controller is 10 on all but one,,,which is 23,,,but i have no idea how to connect which host controller corresponds to which hub (if that connextion can be made) but,,keep in mind,,,BOTH went at once,,,,,, and did update drivers,,(not off the web,,,just told it to update drivers)
  3. Formation flying?

    well..for anyone interested...lets pick a day/time thats good for everyone... and if ppl can start thinking about formation "manuvers" they would like to incorporate... but lets agree to take it slow.....when we can take off,,,turn,,and land in sync,,then we can think about doing loops... oh,,picking a plane might be a good idea also.....
  4. usb devices getting quirky

    cool...when i get at work,,,will look at it and get a screenshot,,then you can tell me what im looking at...
  5. usb devices getting quirky

    ok...so,,your picking software over mb and power supply?
  6. Formation flying?

    lol..ok... guess better way of wording it would be precision flying...(you know..blue angels in a biplane,,,,just no pierce the heart stuff)
  7. usb devices getting quirky

    saitex x45,,,,,hosta has 2 leds on joystick,,,and one on throttle,,(which,,,just blinked as i was typing,,,,,) would obviously think of it being a joystick issue,,but the trackir acted up the same time the joystick acted up....It will drop me to a red light,,,,i hit resume, and i go green again,,,then it will drop me to a red light again,,, and when it is green,,,when i go to look behind me,,it will stop 1/2 round,,and no matter how much i move my head,,,will not respond,,so im stuck looking out the side of the plane.... same with stick,,i start a bank,,,plane gets stuck at the bank angle its at,, and i cant increse it...,,,(this is all for a split second or 2) lol..and did the event map thing once before,,,,its LOADED with stuff,,,,
  8. Sopwith Tripes in MP

    lol...opps,,may have confused your question,,,,was assuming you meant the 2g tripe,,,,, never had a problem with the tripe,,,just the 2g tripe...
  9. Sopwith Tripes in MP

    but,,i just saw in your mp post,,,you encountered tripes,,,,, i dont think ive ever been able to get that to work....they didnt show up on tac,,,,and all i ever saw was labels... again,,have to find what i wrote down to be sure,,but pretty sure thats how it played out.
  10. Sopwith Tripes in MP

    from what i did,,,the tripes didnt crash the mission,,,,they played fine for the host,,and anyone could join,,,but the host was the only one that saw the planes...everyeone else saw funny labels..and no plane underneath. the same for the strutters... the only plane that would crash the mission was the n17lewis... no idea why it would be different on yours... send me the mission,,and ill see what it does here.. meanwhile,,i got a pile of notes,,ill try and find them and see if i can decipher them
  11. Failure to load

    Yeah,,im really surprised you didnt get any answers carrick... I dont do campaign,,so i didnt get involved,,but from my experiences from mission building,,if you dont have something that the mission calls for,,,you can get that message... next time it happens,,,go to your cfsww1 over flanders fields\mission\historical folder,,and find the mission called Off_camp_mission.xml ..(or somthing very close to that)...You have to do this before you run another campaign,,or it will overwrite the mission file. go to this link...http://bhah.homeip.net:192/inbox/ click on the upload link,,,and browse to the mission file and upload it... ill take a look at it,,and let you know whats in the mission, and have you check to make sure you have everything in your install that the mission is calling for... other than that,,,i dont have a clue,,,, do remember some talk about dates.....and pilots,,,but wasnt paying enough attention to the posts to be able to tell you much more... maybe you should post this in the general discussion,,,,lotta the campaign guys dont come to general help...(lol...too wrapped up in thier own game i guess)
  12. Adjusting mixture

    i have the saitek x45,,,and i have never been able to put the mixture on a rotory,,or axis... as a matter of fact,,if i did assign one of the mixture controls (if you notice,,there are several) to an axis...if i went back into controls the complete assignmnet was now missing from the list of controls that you can assign,,,(if that made sense..)... i did manage to assign a hat swich to mixture,,and when i did,,,i got a slider,,for repeat...moved the slider up all the way,,,so when i hit up,,it gives me cntrl + repeatedly fast,,,and it works pretty good...
  13. usb devices getting quirky

    ok...should have included... powered hub,,no,,,but everything has always worked fine in the past.. nope,,,everything stays plugged into whatever port they are in. and did move joystick and trackir to front usb from back (which is never a good idea),,,but problems did not go away
  14. sun 830 edt

    am waiting for floor to dry,,,so i can put this place back toghether,,, will be on teamspeak for a bit if anyone want to fly..
  15. Odd Window

    almccoyjr....if you were to recommend one,,,,which one would you recommend? im pretty good at getting stuff.......
  16. Odd Window

    I did some searching for you,,,and did come up with a post that says its a registry issue,,,,but when i searched registry cleaners,,,all i got was "DONT USE THEM!!"....... and,,could be wrong,,but that does not look like a BHAH message,,,, There is a setting in cfs3config...ignore warning boxes..(not to be confused with the one that tells you when you are going to stall..etc..)considering it doesnt affect game play,,,it might make it not show anymore..
  17. OT..Sorry, it's another Jet Video :)

    Mais,,,si vous parlez comma Reddog, je ne pas comprend
  18. OT..Sorry, it's another Jet Video :)

    Hey UK,,when you make that video,,,please do me a big favor and try and talk english......
  19. Seem to remember reading somewhere that the tower bridge,,big ben, ect etc, could not be goal objects, and tried it out once,,,and thats pretty accurate,,,if you assign either must survive, or must be destroyed to them the game drops you back to the desktop when you try to run the mission. Cant for the life of me figure out why microsoft would have such attachment to these items........ But tried to build a mission with an ammo dump facility, and assigned it a "must be destoyed" goal...and the mission would not run,,,dropped me straight to the desktop.... And,,if i put a formation,,troops,,,tanks,,,with a goal parameter anywhere near the ammo dump,,,same thing... Should anyone have any insight as to why some facilities cannot be assigned goals (its nice to be able to see if you have inflicted damage),,would appreciate them sharing
  20. well..tried what you said,,and didnt work...put ammo dump in there,,set it a goal..and got dtd tried it again with a new mission, but did not assign a goal to the ammo dump,,i just put a "global facility as goal" in there next to the ammo dump,,mission ran,,but ammo dump was not a goal object... came back this morning,,and tried it again,,,just putting the ammodump in there, and then adding a global facility as goal icon,,,,,and it worked.... hate problems like this....the ones that leave you scratching your head...
