Hi at all!

First of all,many thanks to Pete!As you can see my registration was finally succesful.I just was a little more patient by waiting for the reply of the server.

Now,i have the following Prob when i`m trying to play CFS 3  online.
Registration and so on is succesful,but,when it comes to join any game,a Popup appears which says:"the Planes which you are using donīt match with the Planes used on this server. More exactly,you donīt have the planes which are used on this server.You canīt play on this server. Mainly, the Planes which donīt match are; B 25 and 26,also BF 109,or Tempest MK V and several others.
So,has anybody an Idea how to solve this Prob?
A short wish at the end of my Post;please try to post the answers in "simple" English. I donīt have many chances to speak or write this Language here in Germany.

Edit: i have to correct my post a little bit.

Itīs me again!  Grin

Seems like i found the solution to my onlinegaming Probs. A Thread which was posted in 2003! said that the Prob depends on the 3.1 Patch of CFS 3. Unfortunately itīs not possible to uninstall this Patch.
So i have to get a Partition Managing Programm and then install CFS 3 again.Finding a Freeware partioning Programm seems to be more difficult than to solve my first announced Prob. Wink
Iīll get back when itīs all done.

So,itīs really true. I have installed CFS 3 wiithout the 3.1 Patch,and... was able to join my first online Gameplay! But...you may know what happened,unfortunately this was only one solution.Still remaining is the issue that there seems to be a "protocol difference". Can anybody tell me how to solve this? Seems like playing CFS is like real Life.Once you found the solution to one Prob,shortly,for minimum one,other Prob is appearing. sigh



Edit: just saw life pictures of Discovery landing
       it was great expirience

I would have thought the patch was nessacery to play online. I assume the majority of players use the patched version which would make yours incompatable.

However, I'm not really an expert on CFS3 multiplayer. I only tried it a couple of times when I first got it and havn't really given it a thought since.

Ok,maybe thats a reason. So i should try to connect with a patched Version. The reason why i wanna play online is just the possibility to do so. Formerly i had no DSL connection,and there was absolutly no thought to play online,because the connection speed was to low and the costs for such a slow connection far to high.You see,in Germany you can only get a Flatrate when you have a DSL connection.

I should say that the patch would solve it. See the patch makes it an entirely different programme in the eyes of the other computers so they won't recognise it.

Some good news!

Installing the patch didnīt cause any Probs iīd expected.I was still able to join online games.
So,the occuring issues must  have depended on the Addons.Like "Firepower" or "BoB". Adds from Simvi did not cause Probs,because iīve installed a few of them already.But unfortunately these added Planes donīt appear during online Games.I thinks this depends on the Fact that the Planes are not installed on the Gameserver.

It is my belief that you can only use aircraft in multiplayer that the host has on his computer and that the host has allowed to be used. This is to stop cheating. Basically if the air files or dp files differ in any way then you won't see that aircraft.


Do I understand that it's problem solved? Cheesy

Ja ja,of course it is. Cheesy

But... you may presume,iīve now got another one.
Donīt get me wrong,iīm not trying to cheat here.
But i am always fooling around on my Computer,trying to change some Features to be better.Now i tried to add some new soundfiles from the Simvi download site.
It was a Soundupdate for AI Aircraft. Now a popup Window says "the Endtag Tempest_mkv does not match with the Starttag ai". Iīm a little bit "down" now,cause i was not able to fix this issue.Itīs nearly almost the same with me.I canīt leave a running system running. Hope anyone can help me?

Have you kept the original Tempest sound file? If not take it off the CD and replace it. I'm afraid sounds and things is way beyond me.

Mainly itīs not so difficult.You just have to unzip some Files into the right Folder.A description of how to do is mostly included.These "updates" give you a much more realistic Performance to the Game.And i am very much interested in a good Soundperformance.In order to my oppinion"never give up" (ok,almost never Grin) i solved the Prob by uninstalling the whole Game and reinstalling it.Now itīs working fine!But,i used another Soundfile this time! Wink The Update also works during online playing! Cheesy

I think you've just reinstalled the game more times in the last couple of days than I have since I brought it. Grin

Wink LOL

I agree with you!
Iīve got very good praxis in reinstalling anything now.
But,however it seems the best way to work for me.
During several expieriences i discovered some things that i want to post about in the future.
Learning,by doing, is a good description i think. Grin
