I haven't posted here in a while, but here goes nothin.  I recently reformatted my machine and hadn't played cfs3 in a while, so I thought I would install it.  I went to install, and it just so happens that the number 2 disc is so scratched that it won't install this one file, not sure which one, but it has all the terrains!  So now whenever I play, everything is normal but I don't see traintracks or runways or roads, everything is just green :(  I know it's illegal to duplicate a file, and I've been searching for anything and through microsoft support but I haven't found anything.  The game is still playable, I get 90fps on high graphics and 1600x1200 res, but no terrain!

Hi Viper
If you had bought your original game and have it registed with MS then I'm sure if you contacted them and explained your problem I think they would send you a replacement disc free of charge.
This is the upside of legal purchasing and registration.
cheers

Sorry I think you misunderstood me.  I BOUGHT the game legally a while ago, but now the disc is so scratched I can't install... oh well. :(

Aren't there some replacement textures around here somewhere? Check the add-ons page.
