Hi Ian,
I can give you the procedure I went through...maybe it will work for you also. There's some hoops to jump thru so be patient.
1.) Cut and paste the Combat Flight Simulator 2 folder to the C: drive. Nothing will work in the Program Files (x86)
2.) Use the No Cd executable. A must.
3.) Right click on the Cfs2.exe in your Combat Flight Simulator 2 folder and then send to desktop (create shortcut).
4.) Find the shortcut on your desktop, right click, then click Run As Administrator.
5.) Find the shortcut on your desktop again, right click, properties, compatibility and Windows XP Service Pak 2.
6.) Copy and paste your CFS2.cfg. to your desktop.
7.) Open CFS2.cfg with notepad.
8.) These are snips of what I had to change manually.
Code:
[LANGUAGE]
DLL=english.fll
[MAIN]
ShowLogo=0
ShowMovie=0
RUNNINGBADHW=0
Location=0,0,1920x1080
HideMenuNormal=0
HideMenuFullscreen=1
Maximized=0
[PANELS]
IMAGE_QUALITY=1
HUD_COLOR=1
9.) Then scroll down to...
Code:
PERFORMANCE_MODE=0
DEF_PERF_MODE=6
MAP_GROUND_TEXTURE=1
TEXT_SCROLL=1
PANEL_MASKING=1
PANEL_STRETCHING=1
AUTO_LOD=0
TEXTURE_QUALITY=3
IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=5
DYNAMIC_SCENERY=0
DYN_SCN_DENSITY=0
DAWN_DUSK_SMOOTHING=1
SMOOTH_VIEW=0
IMAGE_SMOOTHING=0
LOD_TARGET_FPS=30
COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD=1
TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024
DETAIL_TEXTURE=1
EFFECTS_QUALITY=2
TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=1.500000
TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=19
TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8
MAX_UNLIMITED_VIS=32186
AIRCRAFT_SHADOWS=1
GROUND_SHADOWS=1
IMAGE_QUALITY=0
TEXTURE_BLDG=1
TEXTURE_GND=1
SKY_TYPE=1
TEXTURE_WATER=1
AIRCRAFT_TEXTURE=1
SEE_SELF=1
PROPELLER_VISIBLE=1
SOUND_FADER1=0.800000
SOUND_FADER2=0.200000
SOUND_FADER3=0.700000
SOUND_FADER4=0.200000
SOUND_FADER5=0.400000
LOADWEATHER=0
LOW_RES_RENDERING=0
SITUATION=
STARTUP_DEMO=
KNEEBOARD=0,520,304
LOG_FILE=0
10.) Then the last...
Code:
[DISPLAY]
Device=AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
Mode=1920x1080x32
Dither=0
TriLinear=0
AntiAlias=1
HWTnL=1
Fog=1
This last one will need to be updated with your graphics card name. Mine is "Device=AMD Radeon R9 200 Series" Yours will be different.
11.) Close notepad, save.
12.) Copy and paste the one on your desktop to Combat Flight Simulator 2 folder , allow overwrite or replace of whats in there.
If the Gods are smiling upon you this day, close everything, go to your desktop shortcut and double click. You'll get some permissions questions...yes, ok and your shoe size, blah, blah...Cfs2 should load.
I'm rooting for you, just needs some time,
Dave
