• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

SOH-CM-2025
I am coming back to CFS 3 after a few years to try out the new addons including MAW as a result of an internet friend who has been enjoying this sim. I did a clean install, updated to 3.1a, opened to Quick Combat. All O.K.
Exited sim and reopened to fly a mission. All going O.K until I got shot down:kilroy:
Exited and reopened to fly another mission, went to start engine and CTD. Deleted all uisel.xml files and tried again. Still CTD problems.. One time it CTD in the middle of a warp to next waypoint. I have not added anything to the clean install. My computer specs: Intel 1.7 GH, 1 GB ram, 256 MB video card.
Any ideas as to where to start?
Thanks
 
Do a defrag and also increase your virtual memory. 1G ram is at the minimum recommended. Close down any other programs that may be sucking up resources. Set application performance level to performance rather than quality. You may also have to decrease your slider settings.
