    I thought I'd look in here as after a FB chat with the Hobbit, I thought I'd look in as I have Win 10 and fancied dipping my toe back in CFS3, but Sweet Jesus there's a lot to take in!

    Hi Jeff good to see you back, CFS3 will work fine in W10 just follow the instructions in this thread. It's a new sim now, it's never looked so good!

    Thanks guys, for the welcome. It's been a long while. I'll just take my time and get everything ready. It's great to see so many old faces still about. TTFN.

    Do ankors shaders work in Windows 10 with ETO and these workarounds?

    Yes, they do.

    Question DVD version of CFS

    Greetings,
    I am a returning member, been away for too long & nice to be back (details are in my profile). I have the opportunity to buy a DVD version of CFS, and would like your opinions, please. Here are the details:

    The package literally says "Microsoft Combat Flight Sim" ("Europe", below). No version # is listed, it is cc in 1998. The picture is of a P-51, at about the 10 o'clock level position (no combat, shinny silver in color). I have my original 2 CD version of CFS3 and ALL of the patches and updates (including the cyanide-laced one). Will this copy be of any value to me when I try to do a fresh install into Win10-64? Or is it too old? My buddy is asking $15.00 USD. DVD is in Great shape, and I know where he lives...Not having much (read:ANY) exp with CFS3 and Win10, I would appreciate any help or input.

    Best to all,

    Read this entire sticky and you will find the answer to your questions. I run Win 7 64 bit and have no problems if instructions are followed. All should be straight forward and easy to understand. Buy the DVD version it's worth the price. Good luck and remember to read all you can on the latest shaders and other mods available also.

    Have you tried the CFS forum?

    You're talking about Combat Flight Simulator 1 and there is another forum for that sim on SOH where Ivan and the rest of that merry gang should be able to answer your questions.

    I recently decided to update my CPU (core i7-7700k 4.2 OC to 4.7) and MB (ASUS Strix Z270H Gaming), but hesitated because I had gone from Win 7 to Win 10 using the free update on my old machine (AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black 3.2 OC to 3.8), and was concerned that it would invalidate my Activation. My son had done a similar update, and now has a MS nag notice to reactivate that he can't make go away.

    After a bit of research I found this:
    https://www.windowscentral.com/how-r...ardware-change

    I went ahead and set up the Microsoft Account and linked my Activation to it before I changed any hardware. After that all went smoothly, and I had far less trouble with losing my program install settings than I did during the major OS updates (Anniversary and Creators) Microsoft pushed out this past year.

    A new Problem

    Hi guys,
    I got a new computer and installed the newest windows 10 version on it.
    Have been running win10 with cfs3 in the past without any problems.
    Installed the game, pasted the .exe to desktop. gave it xp service pack 3 compatibility.
    ran the config
    Started the game and it works.

    Then i wanted to go play online...........
    Opened multiplayer options tab
    changed the connection type to T1
    clicked okay.......
    Crash

    BTW the oleacc.dll i had already deleted

    Changing anything in the multiplayer options tab results in crash after clicking okay (connection type, or country, or Player name, or pilot)




    If I open the multiplayer tab for joining a game it also crashes


    reinstalled the game 20 times now (on ssd program files (x86) on D:\ now straight into the root directory of C:\ nothing helps
    switched off firewall, switched off antivirus. made all exclusions, nothing helpsdxdiag.txt

    On my other computer win10 wouldn't update properly but CFS3 always ran fine there.
    Unfortunately i wiped that win10 installation and did a clean install so my wife can use that computer.

    Now i figured, on that computer it always ran fine so it must be a hardware problem, no worries, i will install the game there so at least i can still play online games on sunday.

    @#$^&*(*&^%$$ after wiping and installing the latest win10 on the old computer it has the exact same problem.

    The game runs fine but multiplayer doesn't

    dxdiag.txt tells me this

    86663-86667
    dmz activated in wired ip 192.168.1.67

    Must be something in win10 that screws it up

    my realtime protection on my antivirus showed 3 files while the crash happened
    C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\Softwa reProtectionPlatform\SvcRestartTask
    dx diag

    Maybe this can help one of you online whizkids in the community

    Any help is very very very much appreciated

    Cheers

    Hairyspin, before I do this should I delete something in the appdata folder of the games and should I re-eniciate the multicfs3 ?

    You could delete from the appddata and then run yr multicfs3 and re run the config file; all as admin.

    Almost there; when I remove Ankors shaders from the games they run well but if I attemp to put them back in the game d3d8 and shaders30 are ok but not d3d8.dll that causes the game from not running "config override fie is either corrupt or missing" . Tried running the config file and updating it but no success. So I cannot get the Ankors shaders to work.

    I had a bit of trouble with the Creators Update that installed itself last night. The game still ran once I reinstalled the User files in \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft, but all of my Anti-Aliasing was disabled.

    I tried new video drives, reinstalling DX9c, and a wide range of other control panel settings changes both in the game and in the NVCP all to no effect. What I finally found to work was using NvidiaProfileInspector to set the AA Compatibility bits. In the past this was not needed, and the value could remain at the default 0x00000000. Now it needs one of several that end with 40, 41, or C1.

    40
    41
    240
    1040
    1241
    F0C1
    100C1
    20041
    401241
    401840
    4412C1

    There are subtle effect differences between each one, but generally they fall into the three main groups defined by the last two digits. Right now I've settled on the last one, as it's biased toward darkening the edges its aliasing.

    So after spending hours installing ETO, for some reason "windows can't find cfs3.exe. This only happened after updating TO 1.50. Everything worked perfect till 1.5
    Having only limited time to do my hobby, (you know, work, wife ect.) I'm loath to start all over again when I'm sure I followed everything to the letter.

    Hello everyone and thanks to all the guys who took the time to post how to get CF3 working in Windows 10.

    For me though, I couldn't for the life of me get mine to work. I had to replace my hard drive recently and rather than just re-installing from the external drive which had the back ups, I did a clean install with the most up to date version of Windows 10, having read that I wouldn't have to buy a new one because it reads the Digital Signature from my motherboard.

    I read all the posts over and over thinking I missed something and the only thing that wasn't clear to me (my limited knowledge) was a post from Mongoose which mentioned an unmentionable patch. I searched everywhere on here to see if someone had posted it somewhere but unsuccessfully, maybe I'm just thick. I couldn't see his photobucket photo so maybe it was there.

    It was the bit about replacing cfs3.exe which I didn't get wholly.

    Quote:- 1/ Install CFS3 from your original CDs (or DVD if you're lucky). Make life easier by not installing to the default folder, use something like C:\CFS3 and avoid UAC problems later. Don't run the sim yet!
    2/ Apply the 3.1 and 3.1a patches. Don't run the sim yet!
    3/ Replace cfs3.exe with the unmentionable patch but don't run the sim yet!

    I'm not completely software illiterate but my general knowledge is limited, however when a solution drops into my lap BINGO!

    So, there was me thinking that if I downloaded 3.1 and 3.1a and more importantly the NoCd patch (which I found online and I think is the unmentionable patch, not really sure) I would just pop it straight into the main files of the programme which I happen to put onto my D drive. Sure it goes in there OK and it opens and unzips fine but it still didn't work. I stupidly expected it to fix itself and that it would automatically replace and fix the correct extensions. Then I read somewhere that you cannot have two of the same .exe files in the same folder, they don't work.

    So here's what I did for those of you who still can't get it to run.

    I followed Mongooses instructions once again (thank you Mongoose and hairyspin for this Topic) but this time I saved the NoCd file separately to my D drive as a stand alone folder and opened it. I unzipped it again to my D drive (I have my HD partitioned to C for the OS, D for games and other programmes and E,F and G for anything else like photos, music etc.). I then took the pretty pictured file out of the D drive (same as the one arrowed in the pic) and copied it to the same file (arrowed) in the Combat Flight Simulator 3 programme folder.



    I now have a working Sim having changed the Compatibility settings.

    Thanks again guys and I hope this post helps others.
    Cheers for now.

    I'm running in Windows 10

    Thank to you all, follow the earlier posts and ran great, I did the patch, no cd, direct9 and install at C: The only problem it doesn't recognise my Phantom Hawk joystick, so a bit stuck on calibrating and programming the joystick buttons, the SIM just hangs and I've use task manager to kill it
