.... can't register on their forums, got problems with the B17's not showing up? .... any help please? .... have got all the latest weapons, shared files and airfield packs, other 1% aircraft are OK ? .... I've got no ideas left as to what is wrong ......

There are a couple of AVhistory lurkers round here. Be patient and one of them's bound to come a prowling eventually.

Another possibility is that something went wrong with the download and one or more files are corrupted. Have you tried downloading again?


(61_OTU's suggestion is also a good one. That kinda thing used to catch me out all the time.)

... well I have down loaded them again, no change .... have downloaded the hurricane and the A26, they show up and are fully functional .... the HG_Shared file is in the aircraft folder .... I have the CFS3_GunWeaponsPak_4[1].0 ..... and after I had reinstalled CFS3 I did both of the MS updates 3.1 and 3.1a .... it has got me stumped ? ..... the files appear correct although the B17's have no weapons or guns folders inside the aircraft folder, like the other 1% aircraft .... is this correct?

.... I wish it was that simple, I read in the forums about someone who had that problem, but after the clean install I only have the stock US aircraft, plus the A26 in the list accessed under the US Flag, that is where it should be?

.... yeah, a bit of comparison might help, thanks ..... I like/enjoy fixing problems .... I will get to the bottom of this !

... I tried the sound job to get the 'big four sound' but since I re-downloaded I have done nothing .... it is straight out the box, I have noticed that in version 001 of the B17 the cfg. file lists 'model' with a different name than that of the 'aircraft folder' .... but version 003 is the same as the folder name, neither show up in any list so I do't think its that, could it be a double bad download, or am I missing something real simple? .... I noticed a couple of people with problems in the avhistory forum but no answers in the forum, can I check the version to make sure that the updates have worked, it went all the way through so I am just presuming that they have worked .... on the 'about' cfs3 button it just says version 3.0 Build 021007.2 .... is this correct?

Version 3.1 Build 0302030.1


I'm assuming that it's the latest B17 from AVhistory. I'm downloading it now and I'll tell you how I get on.

.... thanks guys, that looks like the problem, I am off to the US today with work, 8hrs to NY then 2.25 down to Indiana ..... it's going to be a long day! ..... will try and re-patch when I return in a weeks time, will let you know how it goes .... thanks again.

Great!

But let's hope that's not France down there, you're a little low

Also you may want to have a look at your graphics card settings. See if you can turn on the antialiasing. Also run the cfs3 config utility and increase the AA in the custom settings.

My system isn't as good as yours, but the model shouldn't be so jaggy.

Yup. Now fiddle some more. I've just been fiddling with mine. However, either through my SP2 nightmare or my recent graphics fiddling it won't run any more. Contemplating a reinstall.
