Virgin 2 CFS

[HotDoguk]

 Hi Guys,

Just got the game CFS3 2-day,  and I would like to get the game up to date.  I've got the up-date from MS.

What I realy need is, all the best mod's up-date's to make the game even better then it all ready is.

My PC is not bad....

AMD 3Ghz xp- Running at 2.5 (Unclocked)
ATI 128mb 9800 pro (Omega drivers)
Soundblaster 5.1
512mb Ram

So what I need is recommendations from you guys, (being I'm a new-bi ) as to which mods to go for and the one's to avoid.

Been playing IL-2 for abit... but it seems to be lacking some whot, carnt put my finger on why.. but it does.  But the standerd box game of CFS-3 is great.  So I'm hoping you guys will help me put the cheery on the cake.

Thanks any way guy's, and looking faward to chatting with you all.

First get the No CD thingy from this site.
It's in the CFS3 utilities section.
It saves wear and tear on your CD and some loading time
Essential must-have are the NEK country files which expand the list of your available countries.
Many aircraft such as the 1% planes depend on it.
It's a massive download split into a dozen files.
Right out of my head I think you need only three of them to make the basics work.
I'd suggest get the latest file, check the readme and then get the missing essentials.

1% aircraft here:

More aircraft here:

For terrain mods go to http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.php?p ... &loc=pages
Check the CFS3 ressources link to the right side ,
make your way to CFS3 scenery and get yourself Winding Man's Scenery Project. Rev 4.6 plus an update is the current version.
On the same page check Ruff Dawg's 256cfs3 tweaks, helps greatly to improve terrain texture detail (get rid of the blurry terrain ring)

Effects, again Sim-Outhouse, look out for fox's effects.

Watch out for this anytime this year.
It's a massive freeware addon to CFS3, actually a standalone installation based on the core CFS.

WAW.. Thanks Mathias,  :)

There's alot of info you left me to check up on.  Look's like I made the right choice in picking CFS-3.

Nice to see that there's some one willing to help a newbi out.

Once again.. Thank You Very Much Sir.
