Hi guys.....If anyione has some ideas or suggestions on how I/we can make the CFS3 forum
better as far as function, content, etc, then please use this thread to post your ideas and/or suggestions. If there are complaints then let's hear them.
We would also like to thank all those who contributed to the SOH coffers so that we can continue to provide you with a commercial free flight sim site. Thanks!

Your goofy ol' mod, Middle

One suggestion I would make is that if someone uploads a file (a plane, a skin, a mission, etc.) that they please tell us exactly where they put it as it is not always obvious from the thread (especially if you are new to this forum or any forum for that matter). This is a community, but we are not all on a first name basis yet.

I think he's targeting me.....

Mid, what about adding .7z to the acceptable types of file tags? 7-zip is far more powerful than normal zip, and therefore considerably reduces file size. Used a lot over a CombatAce, which is where I first saw it. The software is free.

Blacksheep-ghost03, here is where to go: www.sim-outhouse.net

You need to register there, too, for it to work properly.

glad to see you are alive!

as Grizzly stated register and you will find most of us are there and flying.

It is very true though that the cfs3 flying community took a major hit with this change. It would appear that between people just being unable to find everyone with out re registering at the other site and the steady changing of xp to vista to windows 7 and the multiplayer problems they introduced have thinned out the herd greatly.

Still .............

long live CFS3!

Hi

It would be nice if there was a direct link to the CFS3 post your IP multiplayer thread in here some how. The disconnect and separate log in requirements are hurting our cause.

If you look at the thread hits, the WIN 7 Install Fix thread has more than 11,300 hits. 2,000 more than the next busiest thread. This is attracting people that want to play both on Win 7 and in multiplayer mode yet it is difficult to find the Post your IP thread from here

Please review this. It would be much appreciated

Cheers

I totally agree with Tailwind and Tuffguy.

Yes indeed!!! As an avid On-Line CFS-3 Flyer, this 2 log in system doesn't work for me, I'm usually flying or out and though I don't mean to ignore this Web Site, this is what is happening.

It can be tricky if you are hosting on-Line games, it needs all your attention, so after a good shattering game, it's Miller time. Noticed that the Timing out is much sooner in here than on other server, so having to re-write this.

I don't think it helps with bringing new flyers into On-line either, they just usually don't know about us, we need more Flyers and would also like to see more youngsters encouraged in. So going back to the previous SOH Web Site set-up would help us.

There is no tension or upsets between Folks in the 2 Sites, it's just how it is.

Hope this helps any decisions.

I second that third motion to agree with the options presented to us by the original motion..... We have lost a few players and gained a few...( when they try to come back.. thier still a bit lost.. wull ya think..lol) We appreciate your site and continued efforts. And thank you for this option to have some input.. We are detatched from the main site.... this was not done as a bad thing... I have never been a part of a gaming group that has such a great and varied group of freinds. All I can give is my opinion and my time in the games.. We have a great group of individuals that have the technical knowlege to give more than I. Thank you.. oh( I have a sense of humor... lol.. segway..) Oh Tee dub.. Your Smoked Spam is on the way.. marinated in fire ball whiskey and Habeneros.. the way ya like it..( lol) Ruffus, you may have a visitor.. clean out the shed bro... lol
