go an excess of cd burners and ethernet cards here. all i ask is that ppl pay the shipping. will be by honor system, so when you get the stuff, if you have paypal use that, or send me a check. lol..if i see im getting burned alot,,,will change the way i do things. may have an excess of hard drives too,,ata 80gig... pm me if you are interested

when you are getting into mp,,,deselct the box that says publish my game in cfs3 matchbox..or something close to that...that will stop the login promt

seems that the majority of us cant alt tab out..(xp64 here), so consider yourself fortunate... and not sure what FUD you are referring to, but at this point in time, the is no multiplayer in w7...

this could help out in a couple of areas. first is when we get an error message (like mismatch aircraft) but cant read the stupid thing cause it blends in so much with the background in the popup. I opened the popup bmp in paint, and filled it with white. The same popup background is used for the connecting window. second is obvious. Having a list of ips would be great when getting into mp. I made a text box in paint, entered name and ip, and then saved the whole thing as the appropriate bmp. so if anyone can figure out a way to make a list in word, or excel, and then paste it into something, save as the bmp, it would be great. I tried to do it in paint (paste a table, or a list of names) and it never displayed properly. also realise the white isnt the best looking background, so im sure someone can get a better matching background color. both files are in the cfs3 over flanders fields\uires the alert one is in the alerts folder, and is alert_base.bmp the one for the ips is in the multiplayer folder and is called missionlist.bmp

Will plan to have a session wed around 730 edt will post ip when game is up.

730 edt here, and im on teamspeak. will wait for players to put game up. may run a mission that includes an optional facility. If you want it, get it here,,,,http://bhah.homeip.net:192/inbox/TELE_GRAPH.zip unzipp to your facilities folder

yes,,,but now that i have my old drivers installed,,,seems like i keep gtting the blue screen of death when i try to install the new drivers (sound familiar??) u need a colon before the 8784,,not a period..will hold off trying drivers till you get on teamspeak

lol..sorry,,,edt,,,i am on now,,,but am going to reload vid drivers,,,fps is down to 17.....am on teamspeak,,,but will have to do a restart eventyally....will get back on teamspeak thou

will be on a tad late tonight,,,probably around 730...745

well...2 b perfectly honest,,,i prefer to be on teamspeak by myself...

gwar, im sure if you press the issue a bit, you can get some of the off2 players to consider mp. Not sure just how many of them come to the forum thou,,,considering its pretty much just off3 stuff. look at the off2 swap thread, and see who has gotten a copy of off2, and pm them. Maybe you can generate some intereset. I still have a link to the old SOH site for pd's and others off2 missions. Any of these prefixed ph-3 are for off3, and will not work with off2 http://sim-outhouse.com/index.php?loc=downloads&page=downloads&Category=OFF&FileType=cfs3-missions\ good luck.. oh,,and if you ever get off3,,,,there are a bunch of us waiting..

gb,,i will try to get on teatmspeak around 8edt (7central) tonight just to get you squared away. Time permitting, we can do some flying. wed will be around 730 edt (6 central)

not saying that this will work, but deleting the uisel.xml file has solved some problems with that can occur with off. it gets rebuilt when you start the game. its in the documents and settings/xxxxxx/application data (appdata in vista)\microsoft\cfsww1 over flanders field where xxxxx can either be administrator, or your user name but as this seems to be a path problem, i would dbl check to see that everything required of off is still in the correct place.

well,,i certainly hope you can make some headway kamikaze. But if your thinking about w7, it might be a very good idea to think about a dualboot system as well...

Deselect that box that says publish my game in cfs3somethingorother.....and you wont get the account promt.. put up a post in the mp section of what days/times are good for you , and someone will be glad to help you out. for sure, read the sticky in the mp forum,,,spells out what you need to have to host/join mp. i have a session planned for wed at 730edt....and might try and get on teamspeak tonight to help out grumpybear....so if either of those times are good for you, let me know

thanks alot siggi,,i belive thats the same point someone elses game stops....

I will make sure i have the addons for the sunday sessions removed from my system so there should be no problem with you joining my games. the only other thing you may want to do is the "fov" settings routine. Keep in mind, this is for players who do NOT change that fov setting. but im sure any problems can be worked out on teamspeak. If i can get on ts for a bit tommorow, ill post it in the forum, and maybe we can hook up.

If any of you w7 users could attempt to host a mp game, would greatly appreciate it. You would not actually need to connect to anyone, just need to see if you can get to the point where your mp game acutally starts. pds tuturial for getting a game is is a great guide. As it was made prior to 1.32 super patch, some sceens are different. http://www.wingsofhonour.com/overflandersfields/tipsandtricks/html_woh_overflandersfields_tipsandtricks.en.html#findingserversforoff

located the dds file for the tac, so if plan A didn work, you may want to try this... get the file in the link below, and stick it your aircraft\shared file. As always, backup or copy the existing file to another location first http://bhah.homeip.net:192/pub/tactical_display.dds

whew,,that doesnt look good.... in your documents and settings\xxxxxx\application data(appdata in vista)\microsoft\cfsww1 off folder (where xxxxx can either be administrator or your user name) there is a viewui.xml. it does contain some data for the tac. colors for sure, there is also a master copy of viewui.xml there. I would try to move your viewui.xml out,,,and make a copy of the master, and rename it. there also a place to edit the size of the tac, but i forget where that file is...hopefully someone will post the info. The tac is always a circle..you can make it smaller,,,but you cant make it a square..so,,something went screwy in your game,, if you bring up your hud,,are you guages ok?

File Name: Takeoffspawns.rar File Submitter: sitting_duck File Submitted: 01 Nov 2009 File Updated: 02 Nov 2009 File Category: Maps, Missions, and Campaigns As we fly our missions, constantly crossing over enemyairfields, we encounter airbourne formations, but never see a formation taking off to intercept the intruding formation. These are 2 "generic" spawns. As the Player Formation approaches an airfield, it will cause a flight of 5 enemy aircraft to take off, seek and engage. One for allied, and one for axis. Included is a readme which hopefully will make putting a takeoff spawn into your missions easy, and also explains how to modify the files to spawn whatever aircraft you want. download file, and extract into a new folder. the spawn and xml files in the root of the folder go into your cfsww1 over flanders fields\spawns folder. the mission files inside the Mission folder can go into either your historical or training missions folders. As long as the spawn files are installed properly, the 2 test missons should work. Use and distribute freely. No credits required. Should you have any problems with the files, or have any questions, please pm or post. Click here to download this file

just outta curisity, wondered what would happen if you put a skin made for one type plane on another type plane. this is axes bluemax dri on a albdii check out the engine or reddogs dr1 on an albatross

To add a bit more realism to missions, these spawn files cause enemy aircraft to take off and attempt to engage when intruding formations approach their airfield. Takeoffspawns.rar can be found in the missions section of the off download page.
