    Re: total failure of cfs3

     Hi

     just a few suggestions:

    - did you patch your CFS3 to 3.1a (patch 3.1 first, then 3.1a)?

    - did you install the weapons pack from this site? If a plane calls for a weapon that is not instelled, it will crash the game.

    - the cause of the game crashing after an hour or so could be a hardware problem, overheating for example.

     

    cheers

    Re: total failure of cfs3

     Great!

     the square thing could be some missing fx-textures. Did you eventually try to install the effects-pack?

     One more thing: do you know the MAW and ETO-expansion for CFS3? For more info go here:

     Hi!

     in the campaigns folder there is a file called "fortress europa.xml". Open with wordpad, scroll down to the "tech tree" section and add the aircraft you want. In "aircraft type" you have to write the model-name. that is the name af the .air, .m3d or .bdp file of the desired aricraft. the date means the "entered service" date. lookup in the .xdp file of the aircraft (open with wordpad or notepad)

     

    ah, yes and make a backupcopy of the campaign file before you start or work with a renamed copy. In that case, also rename the title (third line from above), then you have two campaigns to fly!

     

    cheers

    Re: total failure of cfs3

     you mean the installer can't find CFS3 or when you try to run the ETO-Game itself?

     

    if it's the installer, direct it to the location where you installed cfs3 before. The installer is looking for cfs3 in "C:\program files\microsoft games" .

    could eventually be easier to copy the whole CFS3-Folder to that position and run the installer again.

    If you installed ETO to another directory or drive, you have to change a few things according the readme within the ETO-package.

     

    Anyway, be sure to read the "readme before installation"-Guide within ETO, as its a little tricky to install. But it runs fine, when you do it step-by-step as it's described in that document.

     

    cheers
