Best...Helo Sim.....Ever...

stevechester, Funny you mentioned that! I tried it after the fist patch came out, but it didn't work. When I finish a mission, and there's an award, I hit prnt scrn key and it just cycles thru to the next screen!! Ain't that sooo crazy?!?!?! Oh, wait, I forgot to check the MS paint folder. Thanks man!

If you're having CFS3 probs, then first get the patch and update ALL of your drivers. Along with that, go to Google and type in "CFS3 mods", it will return with a couple of sites that have all update and tips info on how to get it working on smooth order. I can't remember the names of the sitets tho, but the results are really good. I bought the game on the release date and was heavily diappointed w/ it, but a few months later (and some research added) I found the sites and re-bought to game (on sale this time) and with the patch along side of the mods & tips that other people had, I found it really enjoyable so far. Good luck w/ that.

Hello all, I've been a SFP1 fan since day one, and I've gotten alot from the game & mods, but when I finish a mission and get a Silver Star or Navy Cross etc, the is no way to view the award & citation in the pilot records screen. There's not even an option! Anyone have an idea? Maybe re-install? Thanks.

Ranger332, I have a x-36 on my rig, and all I had to do is d/l the updated software from the site, as well as use the "Nuke USB" cd... I dont know if it comes w/ the new x-45, but it clears any driver data out of your usb stuff. I hope that works!! :thumbup:

Reply to Bill: Hey man, I've had the same exact thing happen to me: P-4 1.8 gig 256MB RAM Gforce-2 64mb Sb Live Win Xp w/ all update Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse USB keyboard Saitek X-36 HOTAS The teletype crash happens ALL THE TIME, except for whn I cycle thru it. I always get a crash to the desktop if a mission is failed. When I use the drop=down menu on the main screen, it does a crash, but they've all been to the desktop, not a reboot. Oh, aqnd one more thing... In the pilot records screen, you can't see what medals you earned from other missions.

:x I'm pist...... I just want you guys to know the CFS3 blows chunks. Buggy as all hell. It's got a great idea w/ possibilities, and maybe the modders will fix the probs, but right now, a few hours after buying and trying to play this infernal P.O.S., don't get it. It's a waste of time untill a patch comes out. I gave it a whole hearted shot, but it wont work. I just got done uninstalling and I'm going back to return this and get Strike Fighters. Good luck.
