CFS3 Patch Problem

[wforehand]

I have installed Combat Flight Simulator 3.0. I have no problem ruunning the simulation. I downloaded the 3.1 patch from Microsoft. When I try to install the patch I get an error message: "Old file not found. However, a file with the same name was found. No update done as file contents do not match." Anybody got any ideas? I've tried to numerous times.

Hi wforehand

What type of support do your CFS3 copy has ? 2 CD or 1 DVD.
The reason of my question is that IIRC the DVD version is already patched to v 3.1 so that would be the cause of the error message, but I am not sure of that so I hope that someone with more knowledge than me can reply to your post.

HTH cheers :ernae: and have always good flying

You wouldn't by chance be running the no cd patch would you? This will also cause the error.

Please note that this patch is somewhat frowned upon here as it can allow one hack the game. Is it on the original 2cd set from Microsoft or re-burned?
