immediatly after you hit realease,,,hit f9..... but is not a "camera view" as you might expect,,,its pretty much the same type of view if you target,,and scroll thru the f4... but its still pretty neat

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

nope,,it has nothing to do the game,,its just for looking at skins when you are not playing....

yeah,,,im gonna make sure im on "unlimited ammo" if i ever get into the air with her...... oh,,yeah,,and "pilot never dies" too

am sure you will get alot of different answers.... as i understand it,,,off is neither sli nor crossfire enabled.. now not saying there is no performance benifit from dual cards...but dont see it being as great as a game that can take full advantage of dual cards. BUT,,,it would foolish to build a computer just around off3...as god knows what the requirements will be for off4,,off5 etc etc... if your thinking about the dual gpu cards...look into the stuttereing problems they have had in the past with 2 dual gpu cards and once you get past the headaches,,and in some instances...heartaches...think about building your own...its very fullfilling my brother paid 4500 (yep...4500) for his gaming rig from dell...i built mine for 1300...he has i7,,i have e8500,,,he has two 9800's in sli,,i have a single 8750...but thats a BIG price difference...

well..i am realy fond of my "how to play off without your wife knowing",,,but im going to keep that to myself... and sorry,,didnt know the m3dview wasnt kinda common knowlege..just threw it out there for new pilots... but,,as im sure there are other "paramaters", or whatever they are called that you can add....i know the -window is another one (or is it windowed?)..... anyone knowing any more..let us know....

Very Cool!!

There is also a great way of looking at the planes in your aircraft directory.... Make a shortcut to cfs3.exe on your desktop, select properties, and add a -m3dview to the target Now start cfs3 from the shortcut, you will get 2 windows. One will be a smaller command window, and the other will be the viewing window...attention at first is on the command window... Be sure to go back and remove the -m3dview from the target when done!!

as this is freeware..... http://bhah.homeip.net:192/pub/ddsview0663a.zip

if you post a day/time,,i can try and get on.....might be able to do a little bit in the afternoon friday, but got the "other" inlaws to go to friday nite

now all we have to do is figure out where that stupid plane resides..and change it.

this might have to be done for all the periods in cfsww1 scenery the map getting displayed is based on the period...switch periods..and the game loads a new map... I tried out the map that wakdamar put up the other day, and it worked..it worked in the game,,it worked in mp. then i happened to change the overide date for a mission i was building (wanted to get the sun on the horizon furhter south,,,it didn work).. anyways,,the map reverted back to a stock map cause the game pulled a new map from the new period i had selected..

seems like if you pick an over ride date,,it takes the alt_low map from your ww1 scenery and over writes the one in your uries folder....ie,,the one in uries is semi temporary,,it gets changed as you move from period to period

am always forgetting to start up tso...never fails..... this page has a quick way to make one shortcut to start up both tso and ts at the same time.. http://www.solidblogger.com/create-single-shortcut-to-launch-multiple-programs-on-your-computer/ when you save the txt files as a bat file..you HAVE to save it to the tso folder..or you get a dll error mssage... once you have the bat file in the tso folder, you can make a shortcut for it to the desktop, and rename it. if you click on the shortcut, and select properties..you can change the icon,,,if you browse to the ts directory, and click on the tso.exe,,your shortcut to the bat file will have the same icon as ts did...
