This is a post written by 202_Moo_IJN

It seems to me that practically every week someone askes, "how do i fly online since the zone is gone". Well I sincerely hope that this thread gets Stickyed so its easier for people to find info on flying CFS-2 Online.


It's just no fun flying alone



Do you want to fly online?? Many people still do even though MSN Gaming Zone no longer supports CFS2. The CFS-2 Flight Deck is home to many people who actively fly Combat Flight Simulator 2 online EVERY DAY. If you are interested in flying with us please visit,

http://groups.msn.com/thecfs2flightdeck
or
http://www.thecfs2flightdeck.com



Why Fly Alone?


With a private Ventrilo server for voice communications, as-well-as a text based forum, you will surely be able to find what you need in order to be able to enjoy yourself while flying online.


Types of games include anything from your typical Free-for-All and Team games to Carrier Games, NOFUN RULES games, HOPs *WWII planes, jets, helicopters, and WWI. The possibilities are limitless. While your ALWAYS free to fly solo, the CFS2 Flight Deck is also home to a variety of squadrons, some of whom have been a fixture in the CFS2 community for a number of years and are highly respected among CFS2 Flyers.


If your not sure about whether you want to join up or not, we do have TWO Guest passes available for use on the ventrilo server. They can be located on the CFS2 Flight Deck's http://www.thecfs2flightdeck.com website.


We at the CFS-2 Flight Deck look forward to flying with you ALL in the future.

In my experience thee are several ways of increasing you frame rate. The best way is to play around with your settings.You can also turn down the internal sounds of the program plus the sound setting of your PC sound program.

You can play around with the scenery Setting from 1 to 6 and you also change the setting of the video resolution within the program in combination with the your PC video cards resolution. They work in combination.

You can also go to your Video card setting by right pressing your mouse.You are going to get a column of choices.Scroll down down to properties.

A window will show up.

Now press where it says apperiance.

Now you will the option of XP or classic view. Choose Classic.

Scroll down where it says Font size.

You will see the Word Normal. Scroll down and change it to Extra Large Font.

This simple changes has made my program more FR friendly and a little smother.

If this those changes do not work for you can always change it back!

Try it out and see they work for you!

If you want a MB Icon here is how you can do it. I have over seven different Installs and I have a MB Icon game starter for veryone of them.

1.Press on Start with your Mouse

3.Press on All Programs

4.A new window will be display with of all the programs you haved install on your PC

5.Scroll to Microsoft games and press on it

6.Combat flight Simulator 2 will display. Press on it!

7.Scroll over to CFS2 Mission Builder and activate it by pressing on it with your mouse

Start building Missions

PS after your have actvated it it wil show up again when you open it the next time as one of your favorite when you press Start. It will show up in a colunm on top of START. MAKE A SHORT CUT and place it where ever you want it for easy access. You can also change its name as well!

Go back to the Original MB Icon and make a Short cut and place where ever you want!

Right click on it with your mouse and scroll down to where it says properties. A new diplay will show up.

Where it says Tarket this will show up: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 2\cfs2.exe" /BUILDER:

Now change the root from Combat flight Simualator 2 to whatever the name you gave to new install Folder.

Example :C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\CFS2 South Pacific\cfs2.exe" /BUILDER:

and thats it!




I hope I have been helpful

This post will be dedicated for those of us who are interesting in multiple installs to be able to fly in different Theater and in different Era through individuals CFS2 installs.

If have ever wonder and wanted to fly in the Pacific Theater and ETO.Med,Estern Front, CBI,Korea, WWI through independed CFS2 install"s you should read this post.

Having one install to represent all of Theaters and Era of flight in one install could potentialy create problems for you because of all the clutter in that one Install.

Its better to have different install for different Theater of war or Era of flight you are interested in flying in!

Option one

First of all Install CFS2.

Now look for the CFS2 Folder install inside your PC like this:

1.Go to My Computer

2.Local Disc C

3.Program Files

4.Microsoft games

3.Combat flight Simulator 2

Now change the name of the folder that contain the name Combat flight Simulator 2 to ETO as a example.

Now you can Install CFS2 again and repeat this process again until you have all the Install you need or want.

This way you will have multiple installs of CFS2 for you convinience to fly in.

Option two

You follow the same sequence as before.

First of all Install CFS2.

Now look for the CFS2 Folder install inside your PC like this:

1.Go to My Computer

2.Local Disc C

3.Program Files

4.Microsoft games

3.Combat flight Simulator 2

Now change the name of the folder that contain the name Combat flight Simulator 2 to ETO as a example.

Now instead of using CFS2 CD"s for a new install you just make a new folder with the Name of the Era or Theater you want to fly in and copy the content from the original CFS2 install and paste it into the new Folder name after the new Theater you want to fly in.

Now you can add all the sceneries and AC plus effect appropiate to that Era or Theater as you like.

Its realy that easy!

PS a word of warnning. Make a secound copy if possible of all your new Thearter CFS2 installs just in case something goes wrong you can always fix it with your back up!

I also recommend for you to install Acman from this Website that will anable you to install most if not all this planes in different Hangars and in different CFS2 Installs.

1.http://fly.to/mwgfx#

A WORD OF CAUTION

When you use the Acman and create a new Hangar you need to include the stock planes. What you can do is to make a New Folder and place a copy of the Stock planes in it. When you make the new Hangar just copy the stock planes from this Folder. Remember also that you are limit to 95 to 100 planes per Hangar. You do get up to18 Hangar with this program.


My secound recommendation is for you to install this utility from Sim-outhouse that will allow you to change planes and ships with in a Mission and Campaigns in secounds.

It also will give the ability to change whole planes Hangars and convert them into Ai Bandits in Quick mission.

This way you do not have activate plane after planes manualy. Its call mk_cfs2_uti2v.zip

This Sim is the most flexible and adaptable Sim of them all. Its the most customizing Sim in the market period. There is so many mods you can add to it and changes you can do to it that can simply leave you mesmorize.

With the capability of having different Theaters you actualy make your self a totaly different Sim that was not intended by the designer of this Sim.

For example now you can make yourself two theater of you so desire and perhaps fly in the Pacific Theater in one and after that fly in a other install on the Eastern Front in a Mig 3 vs Me106G Dogfight if you so desire. WoW!

There is another option to get rid of the stock AC if you so desire. I bet you do not want to fly or see a Corsair or a Zero Ac option in your early war ETO install.

FIRST METHOD
Go into Quickcom......open up and replace planes. .....i..e..Get rid of Japneses planes and replace with German and US planes are replaced with British planes..

Then go to Info File and delete the planes that were replaced.

Then open ' mdlnames' and delete planes there....

Most planes have an 'Alias' Sound file...set up a new file in Aircraft with only engines sounds..

You will need to make a folder with all the stocks sound since they are use by many addon planes.


The first method is the best way of doing it. But Iäm recommending is not as sofisticated but it also works and is a simpler way of doing it.

Just go inside your Microsoftgame/Combat flight Simulator 2/Aircraft folder and look inside each stock AC Folder/ look for the Panel and Texure Folder and delete its content or delete the folders themself.thats It!

There is only one draw back to this method. CFS2 will still recognize this folder as working AC. They will not show up any more on your display option as flying AC but they will ocuppy a AC slot on your Hanger. There for you will still be able to have between 72 to 82 addon planes in your Hanger but with Bretnuts method you will be able to have between 90 to 95 addon AC in each Hangar in your install Theater.

The difference is that the secound method is simplier. But if you do not want to see the the stock AC try the method that works best for you. They are both good method of getting rid of those beautiful stocks AC where they do not belong.

I hope I have been helpful.

The first method given by a member of SOH. I want to thank him!
