Dave, I agree with Allen. You need to create a mission to use Carrier decks.

Hey Guys,

I keep getting a CDT on This, makes no sense:
raidersVol1.zip

Can someone test this aircraft and see if is just me or my old rig.

Much appreciated,

Dave

UPDATE:

I think I have found the problem, it is somewhere in the panel and sound files.

I've decided to make a new CFS2 install for this superb Vietnam series. It's been a while since I've played CFS2 and I've forgotten how to get rid of that annoying start up video. I have change this in the CFG: (ShowMovie=0) but I still get it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

**No Dice** · February 25th, 2016, 16:59

Try this stoney, it has been a long time for me, but This in my Cfg file

To simply skip the opening movie once it loads, click your
mouse anywhere on the screen. To disable the movie
permanently, add a line to the [MAIN] section of your
COMBATFS.CFG file that reads: ShowLogo=0

Hope it works,

Dave

Really great work No Dice!

**No Dice** · March 1st, 2016, 06:01

Well thank you stoney, BUT I can take very little credit.
That goes to all the contributors, researchers, artists and on and on.
Way yo many to type in this thread.

I see you are looking for a AI B52, could that mean possible missions
for the project in the future ?

Dave

**stoney** · March 1st, 2016, 12:26

There is a LOT of talent involved in an endeavor like this! I really appreciate what it takes and must give thanks to all involved. Plus, it's nice to be back into CFS2 after a long absence and being an Air Force veteran (1966 - 1972) I had to give a Vietnam campaign a go. Well done! I needed a '52 to edit a mission that came with the additional D/Ls.

I'm donwloaded the SP3 update ISO. Its got 30 mins on the download. I know years ago I burned 2 ISOs to CDs. (Command & Conquer: Tiberium Dawn when EA made it freewere) If it dose fully download I will try to burn it to CD so it can be snail mailed. Also will post the WaybackMachine link.

I'm doing the download using IE8 that should be on John PC. If not let me know as I do have the IE8 install file on my PC already. I can burn it to a data disk as well.

Edit:
I got the ISO by starting here. http://web.archive.org/web/201204280....aspx?id=25129 I clicked on the Download button. On the next page I click on small blue "Start download" text and dlownloaded the ISO. I also burrned it to disk.

Hey Allen,

Got a question...I was able to D/L the service pak3. Now, Do I need a iso burning program to get it onto the disk?

Yes you need a program to burn the ISO onto a disk.

My PC came with Easy CD Creator 5 back in 2003. If you have a disk burning program check around with in it. With Easy CD Creator buring a ISO to disk was done by going to Data CD project than File-Record CD from CD Image. In the pop-up window I had to change the Files of Type from .cif to .iso than once loaded burned it just fine. Also try right clicking on the ISO and see if your disk burning program will give you an option of burning the iso to CD.

You can also us a program to do a ISO mount/virtual drive. I have never done this but know others that have.

**dvslats** · March 4th, 2016, 02:01

Got 'er on disk Allen. Thanks. Turns out my comp had a image burner from Lsoft tech.
Right clicked on the iso and it did the rest.
Tested by putting it back in the tray and the installation screen came up. Sweeet.

Thats cool!

**stoney** · March 5th, 2016, 13:41

Love that A1-E No Dice, but is anyone else unable to get the gauges to show in that superb VC panel?

**No Dice** · March 5th, 2016, 13:58

Sorry stoney,

The plane would freeze the screen and then CTD.

I had to rework, pretty much replace the panel and most gauges
and pretty much get rid of the VC to fix the problem.

Sorry sir,

Dave

(she is a beauty though.)
