Try this

[CHEATS]
bomb_trainer=1
damagemsgs=1
show_damage_log=1

0 equals "off" and 1 equals "on."
 
[CHEATS]
bomb_trainer=0
free_warp=0
ALLOW_SLEW=0
damagemsgs=0
oneshot_kill=0

There is no [cheat] in the cfs2.cfg file.

You have to add it yourself John. :wavey:

I don't know if it matters where you put it but I added mine right after the [Facilities] section as shown.

[FACILITIES]
REGION=
COUNTRY=
STATE=
CITY=
GTL_BUTTON=4096
[CHEATS]
DAMAGEMSGS=1
BOMB_TRAINER=1
FREE_WARP=1
 
Geeeeeeeee..........

...I found mine 3/4's way down just before "joystick" and after "Training"

Thank, well said.
I did OK!
it works and thank you. I am the one that didn't understand. JP:wavey:
 
"Cheats" also appears under the CFO menu on the task bar at the top of the screen or when you press "alt." Load the CFO Weather utility/module.
 
Very interesting, thanks for the Information!

Could someone please explain the difference between "damagemsgs" and "damage_log"?


And something different: Is there a way to change the size of the "collision bubble"? In some aircraft I end in a fireball when I pass very close to another plane, but definitely do not collide.

Skylane: Without delving into the realm of model files, a trick we used in online play is as follows. Take a look at the aircraft in question in the preview window, What you see is the approximate size of the collision bubble. Now go to the CFS2.cfg file in your main folder, open it and scroll down to the entries under [MULTIPLAYER]. Change the value for COLLISION_SECS from the stock 2 to minus 2 (-2) Close and save the CFS2.cfg and go back to preview window. The plane now fits the screen, inside the wingtip to inside the wingtip. This is your new collision bubble. The -2 value may change itself back so check it from time to time. NOTE: DO NOT set the CFS2.cfg to Read Only to lock in the setting or your campaigns will not work.

See how close these B-25s are in the screenshot? That would be impossible with the COLLISION_SECS set at +2. Twenty nine meters is center of mass to center of mass or approximately 95 feet, offset at a 45 degree angle. Doing the math for a right triangle the distance wingtip to fuselage is 67 ft. The real world wingspan of a B-25H is about 67ft. We have even gotten closer - 62.3 ft - without exploding. Remember, the collision bubble is a sphere, so the vertical distance or width is the same as the horizontal.
 
Run mdlc program

MDLC is kput in Win7

Ivan Hsu's MDLC is a great tool, and I used it a few times with no trouble when I ran XP. However, I found I couldn't run it Win7. It kept coming up with "Conversion Failed".

A good point to keep in mind. I have win7 too and was about to do a search for MDLC. :banghead:

Hi Mario,

could you give a bit more detail on how you got that to run please? On my Win 7 64 box I have set both mk_mdlc and mdlc to run as administartor and in Win XP sp3 mode, but I always get a message telling me that mdlc.exe cannot start or run on a 64 bit system.

Thanks,

Steve

Sorry but win7 is 32bit version. A good friend mine (system engineer) says it should run well using the virtual box, runing other windows 32bit version into ur win 64bits version. But i wonder to my self if mdlc tool was made really for 32bits or 16bits. So in such case , i really dont know if it should work also.
Cheers
Mario

By the way , did u try to make a partition and install the 32bit version?
