Started having this problem with a *stock* CFS1, that has been uninstalled, deleted, checked temp files and registry, rebooted, made sure I emptied recycle bin, etc.

Reinstalled. Still having this problem.

When I try to run a campaign mission, and sometimes other missions where I take off with other members of a formation, but it's really bad in the BoB campaign:

I'll just be getting into the mission, and the other plane(s) on the runway will flip over forward onto their backs and blow up, taking me with them. If they don't do that, they'll shift left a little, and end up hitting a building on the takeoff run. 1 in 10 times, I actually can get off the ground with the formation I'm supposed to have.

Any ideas? As outlined earlier, this is *stock* from CD CFS1. I have deleted all traces that I know of any previous installations.

Thanks!

Mavfin which OS are you running? XP has some issues with CFS1.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Mavfin. Ozzy might well be correct but I don't see how the OS can affect things like the missions. This might might be a bug with some missions or the way you're playing them. As I recall, your wingmen start their take-off run when you start your own engine & open the throttle. If you're a little hesitant about this they will hit you in the six.

Well, you didn't read the first post very well, did you? This has nothing to do with them running up my back. My wingmen flip over forward and blow up before I can even get my engine started. And this is *stock* CFS1. No add-on aircraft or anything.

I'm sure it's something a little funny with the system, but what?

Sorry old chap. Merely trying to help. It's often the simple things that people overlook. As I said before, I don't really see how the OS can affect the missions or how the AI aircraft behave. I have no knowledge of Win2000 so I could be wrong about that.

Mavfin,you might try to compare AI planes reactions in the other missions.Perhaps you have corrupted data in your excel pages for BoB and your just reinstalling them over and over. Hagar used to be the editor/headhoncho for the CFS section here at Simviation and has written a large number of the tutorials for CFS posted at Simviation as well.If anyone can help you ,he can
