Latest Brit has lasted 4 flights with the Bristol Fighter in 1 RAF Sqn Most of the time the EA just fall on us cant tell how high they are or dont see them soon enought. Many a flight I nose down and run for my side of the lines get shot up a little anyways befor touching down. Last fight was with a flight of E3s three or five above us (Three Bristols) lost a flight mate. Turned in to the flight and a E3 was shooting up my rear. Nosed down raceing for my side ,I guess he gave up headed back to the mess missing one mate. Run the bristol at 80 percent power other wise u run out of fuel. warping. favorite ac is the nueiport 11 or 17 they turn on a dime.

Longest lasting was French pilot Rene le Pro pin the peller 6 flights 1 kill rejected claim for a 2 seater and two to three hits in various E 3 s of jasta 6 was caught over the field shot up and fell into the trees by a jasta 5 E-3. Longest lasting german pilot was Baron auto-matic with flying a halbt. D3 8 flights, no kills did damage 1 DH 2 in a fight and 2 nueiports 11s in the last flight 3 hits and 4 hits dug in a wing on landing back at base KIA. Maybe I will fly higher net time.

This is a great game fun and immersive having a jolly good time. Thanks to the developers and the people of this forum for helping me get it running special Thanks to Sittin Duck for spending 3 hours figuring the problems out.

Sittin Duck : Just a note of thanks for spending 3 hours of your time helping me get OFF up and Runing. Have a few problems but the french campain is up and runing took ur advice and lowered sound of engine. Now I can hear dogs barking and the wind in the wires among other neat things. thanks again! Viva La France and the neuiport 11 bebe.

Could be my other California cant see anything in this smog.

sittin duck: sounds cool 5 EST is 8 pm pacific Time I think. Looking forward to working on this mess. Yes the version is updated to 3.1 ( the patch came from CFS3 site on the web) Cant wait to play this (OFF) game with all the add ons. Thanking you in advance for any help you can give me. If the problem is I have an explosive brand point me in the direction and I will Pick up another copy of CFS3.

Sittin Duck: I loaded cfs3 on a friends work computer and it did the same thing as mine ran a little then froze. The system was XP runing a p4 cpu 2.99 mhz or there abouts nvida ge force 7300 vid card 2 gs Ram. The only thing different was it had no problems with the auto start up file ( When u slide in the game it starts up ). That never happened on mine had to go to my computer then the drive that the game was in. Do you think its the XP operating system not reading the game files on the CD ? P.S was wondering what time to talk 2 u on game speak and what day weekend? Thanks

I was thinking of buying this game is it any good ? or should I await all the patches . I really need a good stand alone Tank game. Thanks.

Thanks: Sitin Duck at least BOBII is up and runing for my flight fix.

Help, While trying to get CFS3 running I turned down my video card acceleration. need to turn it back up to play BOBII , but for got how to access the video card accelerater slider' a.k.a tail skid I

Just one more thing. Rise of Flight: Read that it must be sever connected that turned me off. Unless you can play a game when the net is down and dont have to connected just to play solo I dont want it besides you may have to update your computer just to play it. Its a no buy for me.

Wings of Glory was my intro to flight sims played them all. Red Baron and Red Baron3D was my favorite played it to death then along came new computers driveres ect. and the old fun games wouldnt play. Still a problem as I struggle to get Cfs3 running on my new computer so I can load OFF and be happy one more time Tail Skid aka carrick

Took teamspeak on a test drive says wrong password or log in ? did the quick conneck. maybe it not up?

Sitin Duck: Will try and connect today. picked up a head an d mike phone.

just type in broswer Combat Flight Center then tips and tweaks scroll down will go get mic tomarrow thanks

downloaded team speak what router to connect ?

My grandsons mic is junk so have to buy one ( bummer) I was over at the combat flight center forum and ran across some information on frame rate. One is to defrag your hard driver often. The other is to dislocate the Z key althought it didnt say how and ur frame rate will jump 20 to 60 frames. The last that I read stated: Use a second hard drive while reading frame rates or recording thus the one hard drive wont bottle neck slowing down the frame rate

Sitting Duck: More by luck then purpose , I found the CFS3 folders. It does not contain an over ride default file. It does have a default file. Checked the CFS3 configuration site and ran a dionogestic ? (start-run type in dxdiag then click ok) and all tests came back as no problems found ( Ha Ha )

Sittin Duck: How come every body has cool names. Maybe I should change mine to tail skid or wheel nuts, or Breach loader, or maybe just Rudder Fin. I was looking for game speak my grandson was going loan me his old mic. but cant fine the addy.

Prop wash: Thanks for the tips and will used the cleaner :yes:

Sitting Duck: Followed the path to administrater. I dont seem to have a file called application data or a file called mircosoft. I did add on 3.1

just re read your post and realized I dont know how to get into the location where the override configuration files should be ? Help Thanks

Sittin Duck: Never got that far with the newest reinstall. I suppose I could go ahead and install 3.1 even if the game isnot working. What ya think?

Sitting Duck: Yes I am reinstalling by CD no its not updated to 3.1 as yet. It does load the game and you get the 1st screen (with the pilot picture on it) then a pop up menu appears saying A generic error has occured while saving XML document to file.. If ya click on it the next screen reads: the configuration override file is corrupted or missing and to re run cfs3. next u exit the game. I will try and down load teamspeak and will look around for a mic. Whats the time difference between Boston and California.? This is turning into a lot of work but all other things considered: The new WWI Rise of flight game will take a new computer ( at least 3.0 dual core with 512 mg video card) The older WWI flight games Red Baron and the third wire game wont play with the newer drivers. So this is worth the trouble. U mentioned you were downloading cfs3 how did that work out? Carrick aka Foxtrot yellow leader.
