ok,, and just so you know,,there are a bunch of missions in there by ax that call for a plane you dont have,,,so dont freak when you get that error message......

hmm,,i dont know why it wont let my type a link in,,,,,,,,,,,,maybe cause its a pm link.....<BR><BR><BR><BR>lol..and these html codes are drivng me crazy!!!<BR>

yes,,if you put a mission in the appropirate scenarios/nation folder, it will show up from the drop down when you get into the game from the scenarios link...<BR><BR>and you cant hurt anything by putting a mission in the wrong folder,,,..the worse thing that can happen is all the friendly planes will be red,,,all the enemy planes will be blue,,,and it seems like everyone is shooting at you cause they dont have a clue what side you are on... <BR><BR><BR>but, to answer your other question,,,,getting to missions in training or historical folderr,,,you have to start the game,,go to multiplayer,,,say start/fly at next window,,,and then you end up with the screen with the 2 medals....mission and multiplayer,,<BR><BR>if you select the mission medal,,,you see all the same missions that you will see in the multiplayer medal, but from the mulitplayer medal you have a little more control over what plane you select....and if you want you can join either side,,,,<BR><BR>im trying to post a link to a thread, but doesnt seem to want to work <BR>xxx<A href="http://xxxforum.combatace.com/index.php?app=members&module=messaging&section=view&do=showConversation&topicID=35601">http:xxx//xxxforum.combatace.com/index.php?app=members&module=messaging&section=view&do=showConversation&topicID=35601</A><BR>so just pick whatever method works best for you

ok,,dutch,,, i found my configoverides.xml,,renamed it something else,,and ran off,,,and got the same message as you. i exited the game,,and ran cfs3config (and allll my old setting where gone,,so you owe me).....redid my settings,,,exitied out of that,,and went back and it had rewritten my configoverides.xml file... so im pretty sure thats all you have to do too.......

rerunning the cfs3config doesnt fix that problem???? im not so sure you have to reinstall.... and,,unless someone has figured out something that i dont know about,,,you cant "backuup" your pilots......if you reinstall,,you will loose them...

lol..np stump...we did some games.... we thout u lost your internet....... got a new player too,,,firecage...

OFF Essential MP File Installer.rar

ahhhhh,,,the old bad screen resolution drop to the desktop syndrome,,,,i was going to suggest that.... lol..glad to hear you are up and running,,,,,,, when you upgrade to the x52 keep me in mind with that x45

cant see any reason to have to go that far....how are you getting into qc,,and how far do you get,,,,and,,do you have vista,,,lol..and qc was not a problem before madmats installer?>

firecage.....if you can get on earlier than the game,,,will do what i can to get you squared away with teamspeak,,,and make sure you have all the files you need for multiplayer... teamspeak.com (all you need is the client 5.5mb) and of course a mic is always helpful... madmats installer....http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...oad&id=9131 this will put in the addons you have to have,,,as well as some other neat stuff.. i should be free by 7pm edt...but may have some free time in btween too......will watch this thread, so let me know whatever times are good for you and btw,,we do very little "pilot vrs pilot",,,so you will be flying with us,,not against us...

ill be watching the forum for pretty much the rest of the day,,so let me know how you make out,,, just outta curiosity,,,vista or xp? and never had a problem before with qc before madmats installer?

lol...sorry,,should read your post all the way thru....or you where posting when i was posting... I would find the other gotha folder that you have,,,and delete that one,,,and then rerun madmats installer...and put his back in.. realise that the other one has not been causing you problems in the past,,,but as madmatts works for everyone else,,thats the one i would use..

you have the gotha in there twice.. the game does not look at the folders name for planes,,it looks at the files INSIDE the folder to see whats there..so if you have the gotha files in a folder called rickety,,it will still find them... so...look thru your aircraft folders,,,,,you must have one called GOTHA, cause thats what madmat puts in there,,,in addition to that,,you have another somewere,,,might be under 60ai gotha..

yes,,i use the rudder,,and if i remeber right, did not have to set any of the axis in the contoller,,,they all got assigned just fine as defaults..... depending on what controller you have,,,when you do to control panel/game conrollers/properties you may, or may not get a "calibrate" option. Its a funtion of the firmware that they built into some of the conrollers. some have it,,some dont. if you dont get the calibrate, you do get a window where you can move all the axis's around, and see the result, and its sort of "self calibrating" Its a tough stick,,and will take abuse,,,just try not to squezze the trigger with too much,,,or lay into the rudder too much,,,these are what always seem to go first..

cool....count me in..... lol..sorry should read entire post,,,all i saw was mp game... cant do day,,but will do nite....

ok,,,so im guessing from your post, that to bypass the off manager,,you are just starting from cfs3.exe...and its working, in that you are able to do quick combat.. are both of those message windows new?.. when you start from off manager,,,how far do you get along before you see these windows? and,,,just a guess,,but have you checked the directories that are listed in that second window?

ive got the x45 and love it,,,only problem is with xp64 i cant use profiler,, but its really no problem to set the buttons in the games controler section.... will outline my settings,,,but considering that these have such a bearing on personal preference,,,am sure you will want to eventually figure out your own..... a button f3 (toggle cockpit) b button f4 (foggle views) fire button under safe screen shot fire c button (on back of joystick) enter (fire secondary) bottom right hat switch left alone (is view settings by default) upper right hatswitch : up backspace (select weapon) right t (toggle tac on off) left shift+t (toggle tac items) throttle control... d f5 (hud) the four way on the back of the throttle up is f12 (center trackir) down is f9 (disable trackir) the four way on the front of the throttle up is ] zoom in down is [ zoom out left is idle + and right is idle minus (forget the key commands for these) if you ever decide you dont like the unit,,let me know.......lol and,,if the trigger stops working,,or if the rudder stops working,,let me know,,,ive fixed both just tooo many times... this is the mine.xca file,,,,make sure you copy yours to a safe place if you plan to try it... Mine.rar

pm me your address, and ill get one out to you. im in boston, so if someone closer makes the same offer,,,take it!

some say this doesnt work for vista users...not sure if its true.. from off main screen select workshop,,,from workshop select cfs3qc link... at next screen just hit "go to field" next window should give you the qucik combat medal,, click on it, and you will get the screen with all the options for how you want to set up the game,,,,free flight,,dogfight, you can change the day time weather etc etc...and from the german planes,,,you should be able to select the gotha....select your options, and hit fly

as im really not sure what these settings do, this is just a guess, but wondering if it has anything to do with the "disable Virutal Cockpit Fog" and/or "disable In Cloud Effect" settings in the overides..

Well,,ive flown them before, and would never describe them like that, but then, you know how the ai seem to do much better in a plane than we ever can....

Figured out what the big red x's in your messanger (pm) section on the left hand side mean. These are pm threads that have been deleted by the other party in the pm. If you look a little closer,,,you can see that these threads can not be replied to any more.. So, now you know who thinks your messages are important,,,and those who dont think they are..... damn,,i got alot of red x's im my messanger section.......
