I play it at least once every week, just when im extremely bored. CFS3 just doesnt have the magic of the other sims IMHO.

I don't play it a lot, maybe once or twice a week. I mostly spend all my gaming time in FS2002 8)

I play a bit, but I've been working on some FS2k2 projects that have cut my flight time noticably recently.

I still play it every chance I get, even with the technical problems I've had.  There are games on my computer I rarly use, just because I haven't beat them yet.  Although unlike the others I don't get frastrated as much with CFS3 and I still play it...I should uninstall those games I don't use...

I play atleast a few missions a night.  Ever since I got my new video card, I reloaded CFS3 and started a campaign.  In the last week I managed to move the front line a quarter of the way across France before December of 1943.  FDR and Churchill should have had me incharge during the war.  Anyway, I play until I get tired of bombing and shooting down stuff.  It will never live up to FS2002.  And especially when LOMAC comes out, I will uninstall it for that....

I don't think it matters if I shoot down 5 aircraft or blow up a factory duing the campaign.  The line still moves no matter what....

>:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

I have changed my vote to beer coaster.

I have recently had to do yet another reinstall of my OS and now the effing program wont intstall.  I've always had problems with stutter and slowdown that after numerous tweaks and the patch became bearable and now this.

I have taken great pleasure in brweaking the disks in half and chucking them in the bin.  This is a bad game and now it wont work.  I reserve the right to sulk.

I play CFS3 all the time, and after tweaking my system it looks better than ever. Now I'm getting about 18-20fps on average with sliders set to 4 Aircraft, 4 Terrain, 3 Scenery, 2 Effects, 2 Clouds at 800X600 res. Once I get this I finally sort out the mess of the faulty video car I bougnt, I going to crank the sliders up to full.  ;D (BTW the above settings are with a 64meg Geforce2 MX400, 950mhz Duron, 512mb sdram)

Also where can I find Ramsas tweaks? those helped me so much I dont know what ill do withput em.


Although they can't compair to what Ramsa can do, try Riva Tuner for Nvidia cards, available at guru3d.com (I'm not running an ad campaign for them, its just such a great program.)

Funny, people still limit themselves in resolution.  I find that resolution barely hits FPS in CFS3, I always play with 1600 x 1200 (or whatever the max is).

I use 800x600 because the other res settings hurt my eyes when I'm reading text.

I tried real hard to like it, but in the end, it still can't beat FS2002 and with FS2004 coming out in a couple of weeks, I don't see it getting a whole lot of time soon.
