Missing B26aircraft in standard CFS3 install

[jellis00]

After installing cfs3 per Tail winds video for Win7 and updating to 3.1, I notice that the B25 aircraft appear in the Great Britain list of aircraft but the B26 aircraft donot appear in any of the aircraft lists. Can any one tell me how to recover them? I wouldn't worry about it except these missing aircraft give me a "mismatch"error whenever I try to join a game on the FS server. It seems that my version of cfs3 has to have the exact same aircraft available as to what is on the FS server or I get the error and cant join the game.

Do the 3.1a update as well. If the B-26 doesn't show up, you need to reinstall from scratch using the CDs/DVD.

The B-25 does only come up in the British listing, 3 variants. The B-26 should have 3 variants under the US listings. If I remember correctly the patch 3.1 fixes some B-25 bugs (among other things) and 3.1a allows CFS3 to use 4 engine aircraft. The B-26 is stock and should be there as standard. So it does sound as if you need to re-install.

Read this review of the 3.1 patch http://www.gamershell.com/news_5811.html it shows that the B-26 was there and the patch fixed some issues with the model

Opening up the aircraft.cfg in my vanilla version of cfs3; for the B-25 I have 3 versions:b-25c,b_25j,b_25h. And for the B-26 I have only 2 versions:b_26c,b_26g.

I concur with your number of b-25 and b-26 aircraft in the stock aircraft lists.
I had a lot of help on TeamSpeak yesterday from two forum members in trying to trouble shoot this. They had me try just about everything to get rid of the mismatch error on joining a game with no success. I have come to the conclusion this may be a Windows 7 problem.
Is there anyone out there who is successfullly doing multiplayer with CFS3 while running under Windows 7? If so, I would like to collaborate with you.

Followed the instructions on that thread explicitly. Plus got a lot of TeamSpeak help from two forum members. None of us can figure out why I am getting the aircraft mismatch when attempting to join a multiplayer game.

Are you running CFS3 under Win7 successfully in multiplayer? If so wouldlike to collaborate with you on TeamSpeak.

Yes, Win7 64 bit. It's been a while I've been flying online though. Will have to see if we find a time which suits both of us. I'm living in Europe (Switzerland).

Just been checking my HD, looks like I still have a stock install of CFS3. Sure got all my other installs all modded to the max. (MAW, ETO, PTO, Rising Sun)
