Win7 Problem

[mowhiskey]

I have CFS2 working on Win 7 until I load the Hunters Campaign from Fox4. This program has worked before until I did a reinstall of CFS2-then it(hunters) will not load.
I can load the stock Navy Campaign but when I choose the Hunters and set it up and hit the FlyNow tab it either does nothing or if I keep clicking it it loads up to the runway The cursor just spins -thats it.
I have reinstalled the program and campaign at least 6 times. I just went in and turned all settings(graphics) as low as they would go NO GO.
I run FSX Accelerator,FS9 and CFS3 to the max with no problems

I'm running Win7 dual core with a Nvidia GeForce 9600GT, 3gbs RAM.

Any suggestions or answers

If the standard CFS2 runs in Win7 for you, then Hunters should as well.

Hey Tango
I think we have e-mailed on this subject and I agree it is not the Hunter campaign but I'm at a loss as to what to do next.
I have followed the instructions in the readme's and even did the manual install(which I do over in FSX all the time).
I would give up but I really like CFS2 and your campaigns......

I understand.

[mowhiskey]

Nope I don't have skype.

I just did a reinstall with no downloads added and everything in the program is working.

What would be my next step?

Update
I decided to load a new aircraft the F-9F Panther, as it was working before.
The same problem occured when I tried to fly in free flight as with the Hunter campaigns, gets to the screen with plane flying and hangs with nothing but crosshairs. I then have to go all the way out of CFS2 to fly a stock aircraft and it is OK............
????????????????????

First off, which F9-F Panther?  :question

In general, this would indicate that there was a problem with the aircraft installation.  :-/

Send me a copy of the F9-F folder from your CFS2/Aircraft folder.   Looking at that will answer the first half-dozen questions.  :-?

[mowhiskey]

It is the

[Tango_Romeo]

A zipped (ZIP) copy of the F9F folder in your CFS2/Aircraft folder is what I need.

[Tango_Romeo]

OK, I have received a RAR file from you that contains the full download of the F9F.

But that is not what I asked for.

[mowhiskey]

That is the folder I zipped and sent. It looks just like the one in your post... Will send again

This is to Tango and Dirt,
Hey,
Don't know where you are coming from. I have never said there was anything wrong with Hunters Or Tom(Tango). I do know computers and have built and run my own for years. Win7 has given a few problems and I have been running Hunters On one of my XP computers with no problems.
I thought because the Hunters Campaign was designed by some folks in these forums we might be able to figure out the glitch in my computer.

You will not hear from me again and I will post this in the other forum as well, and when I figure out the problem I will be sure not to post it and will not use anything posted or designed by any of you/ Life's too short as it is with out this problem.

Mr mowhiskey:

You are very welcome for all the help I have tried to provide you over the past 8 days.

Have a nice day;

No.  You sent me the "F9F_Panther_(AlphaSim)" folder, which is the download, not the aircraft installed in your CFS2/Aircraft folder.   I asked for the "ALPHA F9F-2 Panther" folder.

We seem to be having a communication problem.

Since CFS2 is running OK for you in Win7, but none of the third party installs (Hunters or the Alpha Panther) are working, I want to see how you installed the plane.   This could tell me what is wrong, but I need to see your installation folder, not the download from Alpha....I have my own copy of that.

This thread is getting a bit long in the tooth, so any continuation should probably be via PM.

Hey all. I'm having the same issue. except one differance. i'm running XP sp3. basically any not stock aircraft will cause this. i'm not sure if its a driver issue. or maybe my graphic card.  so here is what i'm running comp wise.

3.06 pent 4
ati xpress 200 (intergraded   )
directx 9 (newest ver)
1.5g ram

i have tried every aircraft from the FoxFour and have the same hangup. also some of the WWI addons that i have tryed are doing it as well. like i stated before any non stock seems to be causing the prob. i have used airman to look for problems with everything coming back OK. so the question is. what next. is it a windows conflict? oh i have that new silverlight installed for netflix and such. nothing else i can think of.

well if anyone one has any ideas please let me know.

[Tango_Romeo]

I wish I had a definitive answer, but I can only offer these suggestions:

- The issue may be related to security settings in both XP & 7, so you need to check all of those.   More specifically, also try right-clicking the CFS2.EXE file in your main CFS2 directory and selecting Run As Administrator or the equivalent for your op system.  There are also options to run in the previous OP SYS mode.

- Also, some folks with Nvidia graphics have had problems with the current version of the video drivers, and cured the problem by reverting to an earlier version.  This was actually discovered by folks who started having problems after doing an Nvidia driver update through Windows Update.

I hope this helps some.   I do know that there is a simple answer there somewhere (they're all simple...once you find them.  :-/), because there are too many folks with both of these systems running the program with no problems at all with regard to addons.

WHEN you guys find a solution, please post it here to assist others who may be suffering from the same thing.  8-)
