i'm sure this is easily fixed:

1) will launch, but only as black screen. I do have sound.
2) Menu screens are black. i can hear my 'tabs' as i tab around, but it's pure black....until
3) i tab to free flight (purley by tabbing in the dark) and i can see the plan selection.
4) i select a plane (again all dark but the rotating model of the plane)and can get into free flight...once there
5) all is ok. i can see, fly etc.

anyone?  Sad

i will down a couple 'kates' for you!

one small item, and it's probably me...but i can't seem to get the 'target brackets' (yellow [ ]  )  around the enemy planes, i'm looking for 'target on/off' or 'cancel target' but when i fly, the buttons won't work. small issue...

Hi guys

I have exactly the same problem, but cannot find the file. I've created a new one in the cfs2 top directory and pasted the config into it but still the same problem. Should the file be in a different directory? If so, where?

cheers Mike

Ozthomas its a file inside the Combat flight Simulator 2 Folder. Go to My Computer/Local Disk C/Program files/ Microsft games/Combat flight Simulator 2 Folder and look for a file call  Cfs2_cfg. Back it up through copy and paste process in a Temp folder . Go back to that file and open it with your mouse by right clikig and picking notepad. Go inside it and erase the information with in it. Copy and paste the information I gave you inside this file.

Thats it!

I hope it help you also!

James007

PS:The reason I ask you to back it up is just in case this solution dose not work you can always replace the file with the new information I gave you with the original the CFS2 cfg file.
