• 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.

It's been ages since I had a shot at flight. Started up no problems this morning and flew several very hairy missions (won each of them of course). Went to have another flight this arvo and I have the old problem of the game starting, the title screen coming up and it minimizes to the taskbar. It shows it running in task manager but it will not come up as a full page. What causes this?
Am running win 7 64 bit
Core i7 920 (at 4.2 Ghz)
HD 5850
loads of ram
heaps of cooling
 
I'm not certain what the cause is but the fix (for my system anyway) is to navigate to wherever your 'USIEL" file lives and delete it.

CFS3 will recreate it (requiring you to reset those items in it, controls and 'realism' settings) and then you should be good to go!

It's actually easier to delete the text between the two "Quick Combat" tags in your UISEL file - use notepad. That way you don't lose your settings. Note down the name of the player aircraft while you're there, because 9 times out of 10, that's where the problem lies. Then you can check it thoroughly.
