CFS3 Fastrack me plz

Postby congo » Tue Jan 09, 2007 9:19 pm

I bought CFS3 when it first came out and shelved it that same day. I got it out again 2 years later, shelved it again.

I'm willing to have one last go at it so I just installed it again, added the relevent updates on the CFS3 official website, which were a mission pack, a version update, and a aircraft fix update to that version.

I have an old "shader fix" update for CFS3 on my PC which I have not installed yet. I'm not sure where this came from or what it was for exactly.

So far I am appalled by CFS3, though I loved CFS2 and played it for years. Is there something I have missed and can I be fastracked to CFS3 glory with some good advice or addon pack?

Something else to try while you're waiting for MAW ... why not download & install the free "OFF" WWI add-on for CFS3?

The Aircraft choices and flight models were dodgy in CFS3 I thought


You liked the FS-95, 2000, 2002 & CFS2 flight models & thought the CFS3 ones were "dodgy", interesting concept.
