Hellshade. Also check to see if Windows updated and what those updates where and if you can back them out. I just had an issue w/ a corrupted install of .NET 4.0 (auto W7 update) that would not allow me to fly as the CFS disc would not initialize. I deleted and re-installed from a d/l'd version that I found on M$ site. Problem solved but it took me awhile to figure that all out. Good luck.

I prefer this one - very dramatic.

This issue has been w/ me since I installed on my new W7 box about 4 months ago. I have no Zoom In Key – or entry on the Key Mapping XML file. This is very strange since I had it when I played on my last PC w/ XP. I am now running W7 64bit. I want it now as Hellshade’s vids have shown me that adjusting views in and out can be a real aid to gunnery. Anyone else get this issue? Solutions? Can anyone volunteer to send me a clean XML key file – or tell me where to find it on the disc? Thanks.

Thanks man, I will take it. Look out for PM.

Very nice Olham.

Yes I can - and no it isn't - strange right? Can anyone confirm that this is some kind of CWAZY Win7 issue?

Good point. I can only go by my experience and I have no issues. I'm a better gunner than flyer. A regular Richtofen I tell ya'! I had no idea as I was never a Came jockey. I have no issues shooting them down tho'.

Welcome Bruce. I third (or 4th) the recommendation to get TrackIR - you will never have to worry about losing SA again (well, almost never ) Might I sugggest the DrI as an easy plane to fly? It may not be an obvious choice as it is often classed w/ the Camel - and maneuverability wise it is about equal - but it is pretty easy to fly and climbes like a banshee. It is slow tho'.

Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner!

Update. Deleted .Net 4.0 – OFF worked fine. :) Then d/l’d the full .Net 4.0 package from the M$ site and installed – OFF worked fine. :) So…must have been a corrupted install from the Windows auto update procedure.

Oh, I missed that P2 reference. Looks like it could be apples and oranges then. Oh well, gonna try a few things.

Exactly, I'm convinced that the producer/consultant conversation goes something like this; Consultant = "These planes are too fast, their speed needs to be cut in half to better reflect the true characteristics of aircraft flown during this period." Producer = "GREAT suggestion, we'll get right on that, and here is a check for your services, thanks for coming in!" Consultant = "Gee thanks, it was great working with your team." [walks to exit] Producer [to Director] = "Don't change a damn thing, the faster they are the cooler they are and the audience won't care anyway. Oh, and punch up that love story, too much war stuff is a real downer!"

Tell me more Jackstraw as I am having the same initialization issue w/ OFF (and other games that require disk in the drive). And Windows 7 just updated before this began happening. How did you uninstall? And do you need .NET framework for anything?

GREAT shots Rickety!!

Nice campaign video Hellshade. You were captured, yes?

I have the album on CD from about 15 years ago. Sounds awesome to me. Don't know why they need to mess w/ the original mix as that is what the Stones and the producer wanted at the time.

Those graphs are quite an eye opener.

Welcome back Olham.

Ding, ding, ding - we have new - and VERY welcome - info.

Good deal!!

Now I need help. So…this morning, just like every morning, I fire up OFF/HiTR, go to Quick Combat and set up a 6 vs 6 w/ my QC pilot. Now, instead of getting the “flames” splash screen and then the “grey/black” flash screen, the cursor sits there on a black screen going round and round forever. So, I hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to Task Manager and I notice about two dozen Rundll processes running and not stopping. I have made NO changes to OFF between yesterday and this morning and the only change to my system was a Windows update. I am running W7 Home edition 64 bit. Anyone have an insight/solution here.

I'll play: TrackIR 4 Pro w/clip. Software 5.0b CPU: AMD PhenomII X4 965 Black Edition Quad-Core CPU (3.4Ghz) RAM : 4GB (2GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Video: ATI Radeon 5670 1GB DDR5 Monitor: SAMSUNG 2243BWT-TAA-1 22" Widescreen LCD HD: 500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD PS: 600 Watts Power Supply OS: Windows 7 x64 Home edition OFF BH&H, HitR patched to 1.47 Tearing occurs only when using TrackIR to look left or right very quickly usually. Pretty minor tho' and definitly not a game breaker.

All sorted now. As I deduced, it was a case of either dust on the CD disc or the DVD player not reading the disc for some strange reason. So: - Cleaned the disc - Put it back in the player - Went to explore to view the contents to make sure the player was reading the disc OK - Fired up OFF and problem solved ...to be safe I still have the DVD version on order for P4 and I have that other thing in case my disc goes south.

TY - and yes I do not d/l anything from the net that I do not fully trust and I use PC Doctor AV which is very good. So...I still have some things to try and we will see what happens here.

almccoyjr: Can I get a copy of the registry deletions sent to me as well? I suddenly have issues and may need to go the re-install route. Thanks.
