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....

._ ^ ... ^ _._ ... ^ _ ^ .._ ^ _ _ ^ ._ _.^ ._ _ _^ .._ ^ _ _^ . _ _ .^ . ^ ._. sorry about the crevats...it was ignoring my spaces....

nawww...they dont like me,,,ive known it all the time...

ahhh,,come on uk,,,just save us the time and post the profile here,,,,

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.......

deleted the gotha file only cause person needed it seemed to have gotten it, and was concerned about the lack of credit for the owner. Anyone else who wants the gotha (and the zepplin) can use the link on my mp tuturial in the sticky section of the mp forum. Madmatts installer will put both planes in your directory for you. It will also put some nice effects, like searchlites that are used in some missions.

almost hate to venture an answer, cause im not the one with win7. It was MadMatt who tried, and it had something to do with the xml files. If he ever gets his fingers to grow back, im sure he will be able to tell you more about it, but it was something a tad past my comprehension...(as is most of the subject matter here....)

sorry,,,been sick,,(or something,,,wont find out till i see dr tommorow) since satereday.....

not sure if any credits are suppose to go along with this file or not,,,,if so,,i apologize to whoever . but this is the gotha we use in mp.... unrar,,and stick the gotha folder into your aircraft folder,,should show up fine

yeah, almccoyjr is right,,you wont find that in game controllers...i think it has to be a funtion of the game,,,(which cfs3 did not have,,) but did find this for you... if you have the logitech software installed,,,here is how you set sensitivity and null zones ( i happen to have a logitech gamepad on my computer) note,,,seems like you have to have a profile for the game assighned to the joystick for this to work...profiles for logitech are a little bit of a pain the first time,,, if you dont have the software,,here is a link for it,,,just chose your os...http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/441/291&cl=us,en?WT.ac=sc|downloads||dd

lol...dont worry about it,,,no one pays attention to what i write...

what will they think of next..... lol..i was going to give your post a -3 rating,,,,but figured it would only get me in trouble...

same happened to me last nite. Think last time i was able to get on was around 8ish edt , then tried again at 9:30 and got the page not found,,,was still that way at 11:30 when i went to bed. Fine now thou (obviously.....)

well...ati here,,,so you know how that goes.. and after googling, and seeing some other posts about the s_specular/ati, have to agree with you on that point. But still everything ive read about s_specular indicates its not what would give the "illusion" of the reflection of moving terrain in the mirror, for those ppl who have it working. was just making an educated guess that if i could see the model file for the cockpit, it might give a clue as to what the mirror invokes to make it work,,(when it works) I mean, somewhere, something has to say "show this here" agree about it being a file, and its not a static file. when my mirror worked,,it went from green scenery to snow scenery after i ran a mission that had snow covered ground. so,,if you have a clue about what the file is,,,please share! And the fact the alot on newer nvidia users dont see the mirror makes it a little more confusing. Most of the settings used are "tried and true", and find it hard to belive that pilots that get the mirror only have it because they have some obscurred setting checked. Also, the mirror "works" if you will, for ati users, in that the shading does change as you orientate the sun behind it. If im flying at sunrise, and the sky is orange on the horizon, when i point my plane west,,the mirror shows the orange tinge.. not sure if this has any bearing at all, but also noticed that the wood frame that holds the window on the n17 goes from light to dark as the mirror goes from light to dark..

no multiplayer in windows 7.....(sigh.......)

Your right, if you click on controls on the hanger drop down, and then calibrate, all it is going to do is open up the same window you would get if you went to control panel, and clicked on game controllers. If your particular hardware has settings to change sensitivty, or adjust the null zones, you should be able to access it there....for my particular joystick,,i hit the properties buttons But the game itself has no place to make adjustments to your joystick other than the speed of "repeat" if you hold down a key that has been assighned a command...(those little sliders you see in the controls section) I think if you posted what controller you have, someone with the same on could tell you what options you have, and what options you dont have...

Just curious...what does that mean?

lol..im still looking into the n17 mirror thing....thought maybe there might be a clue as to what was going on inside the cockpit model file...

just some guesses... what ver of your nvidia drivers are you running,,,and from what ive seen,,newest isnt always best... cant see it being your nvidia settings, cause with the system you have , seems like you should be able to set just about everything there on "quality".. vsync,,always on? (belive it should be) anything on your machine oc'd or any addons,,,(ie,,do you have 2 monitors..just one video card...)

Hoping to get BobDav up with mp sometime tonight. will try and be on teamspeak myself around 8sih edt
