For those of you who just want a refresh for your stock Combat Flight Simulator 3, without a lot of complexity and if you don't have the time or inclination to master bat files, I provide a link for an upgrade package for the stock game.
It includes a whole swag of Airfighter_55's great vehicles.
Many guns and weapons are modified.
It includes corrected xdps to allow stock ju_88 A and P to spawn, and the p51d. All these had typos. Typos for numerous ships (eg German u boat) and stock vehicles (eg, jagdpanther/jagpanzer etc) are fixed so they will spawn. It includes the brand new effects. xml (thanks Majormagee!) which fixes stock typos but also features a whole lot more.
Ankors shaders are built in, as is a suite of Appdata files. For those who have trouble with Ankor's shaders and get a message to run cfsconfig again, the trick is to ignore the message and simply restart CFS3. The shaders include a feature which disables the need to re-run cfsconfig when changes are made.
A not too demanding texture sheet is included as are key files in the assets folder - including meshbuilderbudgets and vectordatalinings.xmls .
The recon spawns are corrected so you can now fly recon missions in a campaign and actually achieve the mission goals.
Three campaigns are included - If you fly the German campaign, the missions are different from if you fly the American campaign. The German one has more emphasis on intercept and CAP missions, for example. The British campaign emphasises missions like Sweep, and the American campaign emphasises Escort missions. So not everybody is expected to do blasted anti_ship missions all the time! (although it does still pop up as an option).
A couple of Missions are included - some test anti ship missions and one for a Sherman tank.
The best mission is for a driveable tank at Bastogne - a British Churchill by Airfighter. This is a tough mission.
