After a lot of bad files ,I had to reinstall cfs3. From experience with ETO and the long waits to down load files. I went to PTO. installed it and was up and running in a little over 1/2 hour. I still have cfs3 to run as it installed, and a completle game called FS3 PTO Solimin Islands. The guys at ETO could have done the same thing. ETO does not take a life time, but it is near a week. I know the PTO does not have as many a1rcraft, and the backgounds are mostly land. You do have the BDP problem.
