Might try using the TAC to search There's a Buildings Setting so if they're there, they should be labeled somehow

Yes It was a while ago but I remember verifting it I'll see if I can dig up the details I'll try this after the CHLDSK finishes It's taking awhile but still making progress The 160 G HD took about 1 1/2 hr so this may be a long while Does it make a difference if I download the RAM test from my Vista Laptop?

Sorry, It's the CD Version They'll uually say PC/CD or PC/DVD to differentiate Ubisoft DVD version has a White Stripe vertically on the left hand side of the box It'll say "Exclusive" in that stripe I've done extensive searches for the DVD version Even sent several emails to Ubisoft ...they never responded As I said above, only places I've ever found it were in Europe and South Africa

Sorry, Initial perchase with 2 Gig Upgraded with additional 2 Gig

1. Switch the TAC to Aircraft only 2. Hit Next or Previous Target to select the HA 3. Hit Attack At this point 2 wingies will peel off and attack that target They attack in pairs Repeat this process for as many wingies you have I'm not sure of the exact keystrokes as I've remapped everything to my stick Just hit Esc\Controls\ (while flying) and the pop up will display all your control options HTH,

Welcome Rodster, you're in for a great time 1. Try googling with the phrase "Exclusive Combat Flight Simulator 3" If you're in Europe or South Africa, you should find something local North America, you need to get lucky on ebay 2. CD version needs to be in the drive at all times 3. Click on the banner link above, find the download section BH&H patch is 1. 32 I think HitR has a 1.46 patch to download 4. Yep, worked for me HTH,

Haven't seen Avatar yet but it looks great There are 3D Glasses available that'll plug into your USB Works with OFF I remember someone here using them a while back

I created the Boot CD as outlined in your Post #20 Same problem there as the set-up crashes on the Windows Setup screen (1st Blue) Tried hitting the F6 and came up with"System could not determine the type of 1 of your mass storage devices" Gives me an "S" Option to specify additional SCSI Adaptors or CD ROM Drives etc. Not sure where to go here RAM problem rings a bell I'm switching to Pro because Home won't recognise the 4 Gigs I've installed It's currently only recognizing 2.5 Gigs Could this be the problem? Only strange behavior is some windows tend to pop up especially at start-up C Drive is described as 500Gig Serial ATA II D is 160 Gig SATA NCQ No idea on the chipset, best I can say, it's an XPS 710 Rig

Keeping your head on a swivel or at least keeping an eye on the TAC will help a lot here I usually send the wingies after the tail end Charlies and attack the Leader Since the Leader is normally separated a little from his wingies it tends to be more a 1 on 1 combat

OK, it was I who was a bit confused here Thought the /F switch was for the F DVD Drive Yes, there are 2 physical drives No, the error occured in DOS (the 1st blue screen in the Win Super Site link) Apparently DOS starts Windows for a bit here ...but there's no Windows interface etc After the errors I booted to Windows normally and ran CHKDSK C:/R fron the Run Command line No success there as I still get the "in use by another process" failure I opened a DOS Prompt Window but CHKDSK C:/R failed here again CHKDSK D:/R did work here when I dismounted it Took quite a bit of time but reported 0 bad sectors Only possible option I saw was to configure the PC to boot to DOS at start-up (Settings)?

Back at it tonight System wouldn't boot from the CD but there's an F2 Command that opens the BIOS Modified that ...pretty painless, and started the CD Boot The Blue "Windows Setup" screen appears and chugs away a bit Failure occurs and Windows Shuts Down It recommends a Virus Check and running CHKDSK /F 2 Hours spent re-adding internet connection, installing and updating Virus Software (it's my off-line gamer) System is clean CHKDSK F/ fails to run as it says "the device is in use by another process" Tried the recommended run at start-up but it justs blinks on/off real fast CHKDSK C/, D/, & E/ all run OK Windows Setup still crashes and shuts down Only thought I had was to unplug the F Drive as that seems where the problem lies Any suggestions?

Nice job Lou! I'm sure our Belgian friends will greatly appreciate this

That's one that'll stick in your memory for a while Good show Pappy!

Congratulations Buddye Nice to see you and your team getting the recognition you deserve Happy New Year!

Well said OvS! A toast to OBD, CombatAce, and all the wonderful members here Happy New Year!

Bullet, have you tried testing the DH5 with Wind turned off? Most crates performance deteriorates significantly with wind, and it always seems to be a headwind

Thanks Von Paulus I appreciate the pointers

I bought it with XP Home installed When I upgraded to 4 Gig RAM, Home wouldn't recognize it so I bought XP Pro

Impressive Review Kudos to Jens 'McGonigle' and SimHQ

Minimal success so far Found all the essentials and did a good backup to D Drive But still being a bit nervous, I decided burning a CD would be better That's where the frustration started as it just refused to burn no matter what I tried That wasted last night, so this morning I zipped out & bought an 8 Gig Mem Stick Backup solved, now I popped in the XP Pro CD There were 2 options, Upgrade or Complete Overwrite I chose the later and started the pre-install gibberish Next it's telling me the Product Key is invalid My copy is completely legit, bought it straight from Dell Got on the horn to MS and all they'll do is check that it's legit then tell me to contact Dell ..."OK, you not ripping us off, now get outta here" Next onto Dell and they want $139 for a single time technical support Well I not payin that, but I manged to squeeze a little support outta them off the clock Apparently they think the Install is comparing the Product Key to my current XP Home Key I must boot from the CD and Format/Partition etc. The screen mentioned installing over previous Wndowa SW so I thought I could shortcut and install from my current Windows Sorry, I know I'm a moron at this stuff So quite a bit of frustration today but I'm committed to getting this done Off on family business now but I'll give it another go tomorrow

Good show Morris! I've been flying for the 94th too Good luck with the N.28 ...she takes some getting used to

What's the State Motto? "Mongolia has nothing on us" Good luck and ...keep your gas tank full!

Cool, my XP software is SP2 already I'll download SP3 Bar's still open BirdDog, Widow

Thanks guys, you're all a big help Flyby, I know it'll be a white knucled experience but I've been wanting to do it for a while A clean install will give the best performance and I do most of my work on my laptop anyway Von Paulus, great instructions, thank you very much! rscsjsuso5, I'm dim, what's the advanrage of setting up D:\ Drive as slave?
