I usually start out with a 2 seater career....then after a bunch of hours or a few promotions I "transfer" to a fighter squad, like many real aces did. -Rooster

I have my aircraft sliders at 5 and the resolution is set at "Normal Res" for aircraft, but I cant see any bullet holes or tears on my AC. I remember that there is a way to correct this but I forgot exactly what to do. Can someone refresh my memory? -Rooster

Ahh thanks SD. For some reason I couldnt get to it without the link. Found the thread too. Looks like a simple click on the old "Reset CFS3" button oughta do it. Be sure to back up my DiD pilot first. -Rooster

Ooops didnt attach right.

Would be awesome to go......really wish I had a passport, and a couple days off from work to make the trek. -Rooster

Thanks Duck and Griphos. I know those are the correct settings for seeing bullet holes, but I remember that others werent seeing any as well (I guess you have the same problem Griphos). I know that Middle from SoH had the problem too and it was corrected. Winder or Pol posted a fix for this at SoH but...everythings gone now, and I cant remember what it was. -Rooster

...here on the new OFF forum. I've got a new rig as Catch and CJ well know, and I'm encountering some problems. I installed windows xp and that went off without a hitch. Then I installed my motherboard drivers and rebooted. The windows loading screen comes up and then stops. Then a blue screen with words on it flashes on, but too fast to read. It tried to reboot several times. Then I rebooted in safe mode, but the USB mouse wont work. I got the mouse to work in safe mode by unplugging it while safe mode was booting and then plugging it back in. I tried re-installing the motherboard drivers but that didnt work either. Same thing. Im thinking that I'll need to reinstall windows and have a fresh start. Any Ideas? Motherboard is an EVGA nForce 750i SLI Thanks fellas. -Rooster

I agree with Scout. Claims/Reports were usually filled out right after the pilot landed, while the adrenaline still might be pumping and some moments were still fuzzy in the pilots mind (due to the heat of the battle), or the details hadnt been cleared up with squadmates yet. I thinks the claims form is just right. -Rooster

Nobody remembers? -Rooster

Hope you feel better soon Taffy. I wouldnt fly my best pilot on all those meds. I'd end up doing a Willy Coppens and try to land on a gas bag! Seriously, hope you feel better. -Rooster

Vilkommen Herr Baron! Gut to zee zat zee Krumpet menace didnt hole your plane up too bad on zee vay over, and your heer in von pieze. Yep. Everybody is here, and were already having a heck of a good time :yes: -Rooster

Cool. Thanks Siggi. Hopefully I'll get a young Fleiger up there soon. -Rooster

Got it all sorted out guys. I had to do a fresh install of OS and then hook it up to the internet and then update all the drivers one by one from microsoft update/ manufacturer's websites ect. The mobo drivers that came on the cd were useless with my setup. Had to get a new network card too. For some reason or another the onboard one isnt functioning properly, but after I got one everything worked ok. I installed several programs and no CRCs. Once I get it hooked up to the internet at my house I'll post some BHAH screenies......something I can finally do without being ashamed of the image. I'll revive this thread if anything else goes haywire but fingers are crossed. Thanks for all the help, I'm finally OFF! -Rooster

Thanks for re-posting all of these Shred, loved the bit about the armory section. -Rooster

Thanks Stumper, I've been toying around with Gmax for about a week now. It's tough stuff but once you get a handle on what everything does and the correct menus for what exactly you wish to achieve, its not so bad. Im still working on the latter half. lol. So far Ive made a fuselage for an A.E.G. C.IV. Needs more work though. Prost, -Rooster

Awesome screenies Catfish. 1903 Champagne, I hope? -Rooster

LOL. No worries Parky. I hope he can get this mess sorted. If he cant I'll definately PM you. Good to have you back. -Rooster

Thanks almccoyjr. Yes, I think the best thing to do is a fresh start, re-installing the OS. I'll do everything you said and take it slow. Since its Friday night I have all night. And even then if I cant get it working, my girlfriends dad said I could bring it over tomarrow. He knows way more about all this than I do! He can probably get me up and running. This is my first build so....its definately been a learning experience. Thanks again, -Rooster

Well, its Windows XP Pro SP1....so thats 64bit right? Another note, when installing things the error reads "cyclic redundancy error". -Rooster

Put me down Siggi. Im in too. -Rooster

Thanks guys. I have it working now but the mobo is running the stock mickysoft drivers. Everything seems to work fine like this. Once I get the internet hooked up to it I will try again. Seems the mobo drivers that came on the cd aren't jiving with the setup. PS. I had to try to install CFS3 three times, it had a problem creating folders in C:Program Files. But I finally got it to go after running CHKDSK twice. Could this be realated to the previous problem, and not having mobo drivers installed? -Rooster

WOW! Your the man Fates. Love the top banner. Can I have it? -Rooster

Yep 130 MK2 . I like to have it as real as it gets, and it is. Its really tough to live very long though.....but it is a war. Happy flying man, -Rooster

Will do Siggi. First, I have to get this mess all sorted out (see "First Technical Question") and then he's over the mud once again! -Rooster
