Hi there.
Just need to know if there is any chance to run Combat Flight Simulator 3 with Vista.
Thank you

CFS3 will not run on my system. It will load, but within moments, it crashes. See signature for system specs

[andmaste]

So, there is no patch for Vista.
Am I right?

Thank you

Hello Everyone
I had this problem, "cfs3 crashing a few seconds after loading game" when i bought my new pc with vista 32bit home edition, i believe the problem is with newer nvidia drivers, i have an 8800gtx card, going to the nvidia site driver archive i  just kept going back until i found a driver edition that worked can't remember exactly which one but it was around version 98.00   then i had no problems running CFS3, hope that is of help.

...an excellent tip there...
When it comes to Graphics Card Drivers...newer is not always better!....Trust me!... ...!

I often have to install older Drivers to get certain programs to run well/problem-free...)...!

Paul...G-BPLF...Win XP/nVidia 7800GS/FS 2004/CFS2... 8-)...!

P.S. Very often you will find that the most reliable Drivers are on the CD that came with your Graphics Card......!

Same problem - the newest driver I found that works (8800GTXcard) is 162.50.  Try it.

cfs3 runs fine on my vista box and my xp box. i just cannot connect over the lan, and yes i've tried everything in the forums. of all my games; cfs, cfs2, cfs3, il2 46, il2 sturmovik, wwii fighters, janes attack sqn, and eaw the only one which works is eaw! the oldest of the lot works! LOL! I have had some limited success with every one except cfs3, but eaw is the only one which plays without crashing!
perhaps i should capitalize EAW? LOL! the il2 series flight models suck for casual fliers and i'm just playing on the lan with my children.
