If you play for a while and the planes aren't showing up, try this. It works all the time, every time.
- Open the CFS3 folder, and the campaigns subfolder. It should look like... C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 3\campaigns
- Make a copy of "fortress euorpa.xml" to your desktop if you screw up or want to change it back. Don't edit this one.
- Open "fortress europa.xml" with notepad. The one in the campaign folder, not the desktop.
- Right in the middle of this file is a list of aircraft and then a date. It's under the heading
. Find it. - Wherever it says
, change that to, say... - Overwrite the old file.
- Start a new campaign. All the aircraft are avalible. You're welcome.
