...Hi all, ...It seems to me I used to be able, at the bottom/end of a thread, to one click back to
''CFS3 General Discussion'' but now a box opens and I must scroll to find it again... I know, I know
such hardship, ...Its a wonder I endure it all...
Cheers, jonny (popsaka)

I don't know if anything can be done now, with all the present missions available for download, but I've downloaded a lot of missions for CFS3 that I assumed were for CFS3 which turned out to be, after downloading and reading the read me, a mission(s) for ETO or MAW etc.
Can you appreciate the frustration?

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 this is a very good suggestion. This is a common problem with a lot of Flight Sim forums, especially FSX. Often an aircraft is given by name only and you go to the site and you see many aircraft that meet the description. I good example was the Pearl Harbour scenery advertised in the CFS2 forum a little while ago. I could not determine what aircraft to download so I decided not to bother with that scenery even though it was probably very good.

One suggestion I would like to make is either making up a combined archive of say the best terrain mods, aircraft mods or mission mods. If developers do not want their files put in combined archives special groups could be made for all the requirements with direct links to the required files and installation instructions for the requirements.

I must admit I will always purchase an expansion rather than go to the trouble of finding then downloading multiple files and I have many payware expansions for CFS2 & 3.

I may be a bit lazy, but I am sure I am not the only one.

I think to keep these older sims alive it needs to be easier to upgrade to the best "mod sets" to make the sims the best possible. Especially since they have to compete with some newer sims.

Anyway just my thoughts as a casual lurker.

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.

http://www.7-zip.org/

I would have to agree. Compresses more that ZIP and does not corrupt as WinRAR often does, and best of all freeWare.

Cheers MarkL

Sir/Madam,

1. Which is the best airfield?
2. How do I feather the engines upon touching down?
3. When in the air, how do I quickly go from viewing from outside of the aircraft to inside the cockpit to check my direction?
4. Being a greenie (although I'm 60 years old) how can I go on a mission and not be the lead craft?

Thank you!

Respectfully,

...In answer to your last question, open the mission file in question in notepad or any text editor, find the line where it says ''is player=y'' and exchange it with the aircraft at the bottom of the paragraph...

Could we have the old choices of display themes back please? I've got the CFC version now since the last software update and find it much harder to see what's new or read some posts. I used to be able to change it but it seems the CFC style is all I get now.

The FSX forum isn't so plagued, so it isn't impossible.

Seconded. Mine's now whitish on black, and I find it rather irritating to read...
