well...considering the manner in which you installed bhah,,,,it should need to have the cfs3 cd in the drive, for it to run....forget if its disk one or disk two. I wanted you to try with your cd, just so you wont have to hassle copying my cd. and,,i have been kinda of blowing off your description of a plane crashing into the ground when you start your game. I have all my intro videos and such turned off, so i dont get to see any of that. I will make it a point to enable everything, so I see exactly what you see, (minus the error messages i hope....). I'm not so sure you should see planes crashing,,,when you start off3 Suppose to get on with ras tongith around 7. He's got pretty much the same problems as you ...sans the blue meter...

Rabu, im certain i have the original breakout,,,(that was atari,,,right???) and whatever emulator u need...Will be sure to find it on my computer at home.. my favorite (other than zelda of course) was tetris.... personal highs where....19-3......and somewhere around 12-6

yeah,,,,a great solution!!!!! now all we have to do is decide how to use it best. do you pilots want structured games, or would you prefer to do everything "on the fly" (no pun intended) keep in mind, if we attempt to structure it, we will still need people to volunteer to host on any particular nite. OVS, how much time do you want pilots to give you to approve entries? and Erik, sorry about the confusion,,just happen to notice that your av said admin/owner,,, so,,whos the boss?

I did a google on that error message, and it brought up a recent post by Ras, who has been haveing WORSE problems than you in gettting into mp. thread is here if you want to look http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry299600 in addition to the error message, he also seemd to get the flickering you described, but cant be sure its the exact same thing, Have pm'd him, as i am interested in seeing if he is getting the blue meter screen also. Not sure if all this info is going to help us, or set us back... realise you are able to get into mp, which is good, but gut feeling is we still have to try and reslove all these error messages you are getting, or its going to catch up with you eventually. also,,if you get the chance,,,see if you can play bhah with your cd,,,,

sorry,,,forgot to post fact that game is down///

mk2 and erik,,,same person????

Well...we might need something that everybody can edit... was thinking of making up a Combat ace user that everyone could log onto as, not sure if it would work or not..

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=40614&hl= this is one of his suggestions,,,,will look for more

Welcome aboard Pappy, know you will love it here,,,sounds like you're going to fit right in... Be sure that copy of OFF on ebay is legit,,and is BHAH (off3) off2 is free.....

yeah,,,you know,,i think it was homeboy...... incredibly helpfull guy,,,,like steve suggested,,,shoot him over a pm,,,

Think its time we consider getting a schedule toghether so that pilots have an idea of what might be happening when. Boys of 60 have one, and they run pretty smooth. Games are going up alot more than they used to be (understatement to say the least), but its still hit or miss. There are some obviouse problems that would have to be worked out,,,times that would accomadate everyone, whos going to host on such and such a day, and im sure a slew more. And some pilots might not like the idea of a structured schedule. Not saying this would have to be etched in stone, just something to give pilots an idea of what days there is at better than 50% chance there will be a game up. But its just a thout, and am throwing it out there for ideas and or critisism,,,(my mother abused me as a child,,so i can take it..) Have tossed one on here just as an example. Personally i would like to see more variety in what we play. In addition to teamdog fights, maybe throw in some competative ones, where labels, targeting helpers etc are not allowe,,,play in DiD standard if you will.. Same with missions. MatMatt is working on getting campaign missions available in multiplayer, which i think is going to be a blast. Wed, (and some others) are boys of 60 days, so was thinking good day to do Tuturials like ax had couple weeks ago. And have asked Stump to make us some cool pylons, so we can have races... Hoperfully, if we can get one worked out, incorporating everyones ideas, we can get it posted up on the Doves and Hawks site.

absoulutly,,,,get into the game the same way as mp, but hit the mission medal, instead of multiplayer,, or,,,you could just hit mp medal, and host a game,,and play all by yourself,,,,not 100% sure, but think your going to see the same thing,,,,with maybe the exception of seat assighnments not being available in the "mission" medal mode... and,,what you meant to say was "DAMN,,i've been playing qc and campaign all day, and didnt think to check in....."

vasco, dont have the answer to your problem, but have seen numerous posts about it in the past (ie,,,,two contolers) suggesst you repost with a heading of something like "problem assigning chjoystick and ch pedals" and id do it in general discussion as well as here,,,,,just so you make sure you get more exposure...

Nice shots...like the close ups especially

game is down

Getting more and more players these days into multiplayer, and every new person that joins in loves it. Should have a game up around 730 sunday nite. Anyone thinking about multiplayer, but has not yet tried it, its never too late to join in. As always, we put off playing a session to get new players up and running. Any questions about joining, ask in the game post at the multiplayer forum.

I agree with uncleal (omg,,,did i just say that??) and as long as you have the covers off,,make sure all your fans a spinning constanly,,,no slowing down for a sec,,then catching back up again.

Its always been my experience, that when a problem exists, its a big mistake to forge ahead anyways, and perpetuate the problem. Seems logical to me that if a p4 is somewhere in the future, then there is no reason not to assume a p5 might be what we are talking about next.... With that in mind, and taking into account I dont see anyone in a big rush for p4, we are all pretty happy with p3, putting off the solutions to fixing what needs to be fixed in p4 ( which ok,,,might mean starting from scratch) would imho, seem somewhat of a waste. granted, its easy for me to say, as i dont have to do the work.

considering the distance on this one, think we should have at least 2 ppl on each sider ready and able to host. Kinda a primary and backup. Makes sense to do some game hosted on one side,,and another from the other end,,,,so the same ppl dont get the bad lag,,,(if such a thing exists...)

Has anyone mentioned multiplayer yet? Would like to think the increase in response over the last few weeks alone, would help indicate that multiplayer should be at least, a minimal consideration when thinking about off4 Its not historical, its not Did, and its pretty much got nothing in common with the reasons off1 thru off3 where developed. But its fun, and its what alot of pilots want to do.

ok..so there we were...all landed saftley....and bala tucks himself into one of the hangers.......and goes to sleep must be a european thing........

bala, whenever you are ready, i can help you with portforwarding. Keep in mind, you only have to do this when either one,,you have a wireless router that you are using for your internet connection, or, your hispeed modem has a built in firewall...other wise it is not a necessity...... Its pretty easy to find out,,,u put up a game, and if no one can join,,you probably need to forward ports..
