CFS1 GUI Screens?

Anybody know where I might be able to get the GUI screens (clean if possible) from CFS1? I'd like to fiddle with the game myself, but it doesn't seem to be abandonware yet and I'm not willing to pay for it (not that curious!)! I never owned it, but the GUI graphics look pretty evocative from what I've seen on the web and I have a mind to possibly recycle them as splash screens for ETO.
 
You'll possibly get more joy at the CFS1 forum, there are still active posters there. I'm moving this thread there. Cheers!
 
Hello Threedp :wavey:

Don't know where you posted first, but welcome to the sub-basement at SOH.

Now, to answer your question, I would need to know exactly what you're looking for. CFS1 has many entries; opening page, Free Flight, Quick Combat... and so on.

Do you need the associated pictures with these screens? For a start, I can tell you that the font is Confidential TTF. The screens are mostly found in Combatfs.exe and accompanying DLLs.

And there's a lot of pictures...:kilroy:
 
Thanks for the reply. I'm mostly interested in just the background images to each screen, sans type if possible. The more I look into it, the more it seems I would just have to track down a copy of the game.

It's a very minor thing. Put simply, the splash screens to the CFS3 add-ons are generally pretty weak (b/w photos) and I've made my own and have sort of turned them into homages to earlier sims (FS-SDOE, AOTP, etc.). As what I've seen of CFS1 looks good, I thought I'd investigate.
 
If I were you, I would go to the Microsoft site for Combat Flight Simulator V1. I believe it still exists and perhaps you can capture the images on their web site.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the site has only one background (RAF pilot in upper left) and even that I can't seem to copy.
 
OK...

I just had a look and, sorry, most screens have texts in them. As for colors, they're mostly black and white or sepia. A few screens are images-only, but they're from the install routine, not the game itself.

Send me a PM...
