are yall going to be able to make helecopters and other planes besides the regular warplanes for cfs 3 ? and can a program be made that will make cfs 1 work similar to cfs 3 , no matter what i do as far as tweeking , cfs3 is never going to work like i want it to , and i cant afford expensive pc upgrades , in order for me to be able to play it at all the graphics have to be set where they arent nearly as good as cfs 1 , on cfs 1 i can set graphics to best and it works perfectly , I do like to play cfs 3 even though its choppy on my machine , i just wish i had the files to be able to change positions (bomber, co-pilot etc in cfs 1 like you can in cfs 3 )if i knew anything about computer programming i would make it myself but i dont so i will have to rely on you guys to build  the files for me , i will be waiting , thanks , David

Hi dabthea,

You can make all sorts of planes for CFS3, everything except helicopters.  For this you will need a program called gmax and the CFS3 SDKs.  They are available at the following links:

Gmax - http://www.discreet.com/products/gmax/

CFS3 SDKs - http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs3/cfs3_sdk.asp

Now, as to your question about a program being made that will make CFS1 work similar to CFS3, sorry but it is impossible (unless you could decompile COMBATFS.EXE).  Hope that answers your questions.
