you CANNOT start mission builder from a shortcut you make from the exe,,,nor can you start it by clicking on the exe that resides in the mb folder. (dont ask me why,,quirky problem to say the least) you can start it from start>all programs>over flanders fields>mission builder If this is the way you have been getting to mission builder, then stick this file into your obdsoftware\cfsww1 wwi over flanders fields directory. Seems to me ive had to send this to someone else before http://bhah.homeip.net:192/inbox/jpeg.dll

great session today... ran across this dfw today,,,dont think ive ever seen it before screen shot from on of the sessions,,think von baur is trying to tell me something,,(eat at joe's?)

stiffy,,,read the tuturial in the sticky section of the mp forum,,its got all the info there

whew,,,,kinda late for me....hope someone on west coast can hook up with you...we are always in the need for new missions

they are supposed to go into your cfsww1 overflanders fields\campaign\campaigndata\skins folder i belive.....then when you enter quick combat the skin should appear in the "custom skin" drop down.

Saw a post that nvidai had come out with new drivers, so going to assume those are the ones you loaded. Before i uninstalled, i would go back to an older version of nvidia drivers, and try them. Its been suggested you get a free utility like drive sweeper to assure you have all the drivers removed before installing other ones. one thing ive found out about vid drivers is that newest isnt always best..

lol..yeah,,know what you mean about ideas dying on the vine fro,,, sorry for the delay in gettting back to this topic, but had to tie up some loose ends,,and got started working on the mp problems with the n17lewis (total waste of time so far..) but to see just how far interest lies..will set aside next friday nite (the 23rd) for a simple test session. This is strickyly for mp sessions and has nothing to do with sundays sessions. just to let pilots know what they might be getting into... skins are completly optional..if you have the skins everyone is flying with, you will see them,,if you dont, you will not. it will not cause mismatches if you do not have them, and will not cause a mismatch if you do have them and leave them installed and are joining other mp sessions. if you leave the custome skins installed, you may encounter a single player scenario where the game is calling for a plane that has a custome skin, and therefore you will see the custom skin. For those pilots that do NOT want this to occur, i will have a utility that restores the planes that we modified back to stock skins. I had wanted to make a utilty that just restored all the planes to default, but it would be over 2 gig in size, and thats over the limit for a cab file (not to mention a bitch to download) anyone with interest, upload 2 skins for the same plane to here http://bhah.homeip.net:192/ the inbox folder has a upload button. Please make sure the skin you are uploading CLEARLY defines what plane the skin is designed for. If it doesnt, rename it so i know what plane its for. For a test session i will not attempt to make planes for anyone specific,,ie,,,everyone takes a plane,,and what they end up with is a surprise.. do NOT upload skins for the n17lewis,,,either of the stutters, and the sopworth2gun tripe.

messaround,,,where in gods name you been??? so..when you get this all squared away,,we gonna see you back in mp?

lol..probably not broken,,try this,,,,,f4 till your in cockpit view...f3 to get you in virtual cockpit (no plane)...f5 to bring up your hud (and sight)..grab that sight with your mouse,,and move it back to where it should be

my best guess...off is dynamic,,it changes with your active pilot. When you start the game, it looks at your active pilots situation,,,and loads all the approriate data from the ww1scenery folder, overwriting whatever files are in the cfsw1 off folder. Guess for some reason they wanted to segregate the files.

ax,,,will do my best to join in (as always),,,but gonna be hard to find time sat and have time on sunday. but sure i will get in for something.

all just guesses here,,,based on some other peopls problems.. you said you set cfs3mp.exe to run as administrator,,,if you are on vista,,,you also have right click on it,,properties...compatibility tab,,and set to run in compatibility for xp sp2 make sure your resoulution in cfs3config is set as high as it will go... find your uisel.xml file (for xp its documents and settings\xxxxxx\applicationdata\microsoft\cfsww1 over flanders fields),,,where xxxxx is either administrator or your user name, and delete it..it will rebuild when the game starts... if you have vista,,,just do a search for it,,cause ive given up on trying to figure out how ppl get to that folder in vista....

Is that skin available?

any chance you hit the tilde key? (`)

multiplayer.......

might not be a bad idea to start thinking about the solution to the 16+ pilot situation (hope i dont jinx us) while first come, first serve would probably do for a while, personally, i hate to think of anyone not being able to play cause the game is full..... and,,if anyone is thinking about getting it so the limit is raised,,,good luck..... suggestion...(different topic)...have someone promoted to information officer at the beggining.....he, and only he,,,will hand out ips, and dates for those who need them..

great job, as always, (and on time too!)

lol..i thout it was hilarious......

ill probably get on around 7

quick combat....you pick your plane,,how many wingman,,what the enemy is,,etc etc,,etc custom dogfighting if you will

i got an e8500 3.16, and have done nothing (that i know of,,,) to oc it. but, it is reporting it as 3.8ghz in a couple of places...and not sure if this is normal,,or not.... for all i know,,the dual cores report as higher than the stock speed for some reason... system has been acting funny, so something is up,,,just dont know where it is..

anyone wishing to do some mp testing for tommorw evening pm me amongst other things, would like to see if we might be able to resolve the strutter, 2gun tripe problems.

nice screenies rd.......improvments in dm deffiniatly show up there. ill do my best to get on about an hour early sunday....if you want to test out teamspeak..

Great session ax...thanks alot! Ditto for dutch.....
