Are there campain updates for CFS3, ive installed some of the campains here but it wont work im doing something wrong whit them. Is there a site for original Campain updates so like flying against japan or something? i want to expant my game.
:costumes:​
 
Many of missions an dcampaign here requires add-on planes, scenery, etc. Which one did you install ? What problem did you encounter ?

wel the campain was 41 missions long and the problem is i dont know anymore where to find it
 
Basically, installing a mission requires careful reading of the readme and install of all required add-on (which all have a readme that needs to be read and may require additionnal add-on, welcome to neverending install).
Expanding the game may be done trough complete new theaters, like ETO, PTO, MAW, OFF or Korea. These come with new campaign or mission and all the stuff is installed at once trough an automated installer.

you can get OFF phase 2 free by DVD requests in the OFF forum here at SOH.

Don't know what is wrong with the MAW site but it seems to be down.

im downlaoding ETO from http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1224589044/0

is this not a good one?
 
Yes it is very good. It is an expansion of the original game with better effects, buildings, oh everything better!

yeah ok but im downlaoding from somewhere else in one package from simvation.com

where you pointed out it is in 6 downlaods, if its better that i do it like in 6 times i do it without any more questions but on the other hand if i read the main page of PTO it says that i have to do this: PTO Solomon Islands Theater- Airfield Add ons, Carriers, and Lighted Aircraft update 1.40 (see PTO Tab to download)
To be installed after update 1.30.
It is recommended before installing that you backup your Global Layer Folder and qclocations.xml outside of the CFS3 PTO Solomon Islands directory.

can you simplify the explanation for me
 
In your Combat Flight Simulator 3 main folder (C/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Combat Flight Simulator 3). There will be a folder that says global_layer and an XML document that says qclocations. Make a copy of each of these and put them into a different folder outside of the game. If you are having trouble finding these arrange your icons by name and you should be able to find them that way.
You should always make a copy of things before you change them, that way you can use the copy you made and don't have to look for what you did wrong, just put the copy in place. It is even a good idea to make a copy of the whole game as it is easier then reinstalling everytime you make a mistake.
After backing up files then install the PTO and its updates in the order they have them on the download page. 1-6 and then the last update that is in the PTO Solomons update link here at SOH.

ok now im understanding it so what you say is make a copy of the whole game like copying microsoft games CFS3 and put the whole file for exampel at Kevin/programs/Microsoft games/Combat flight simulator3

So if i installed the patches 1 to 6 i must download alsow Solomon update link at SOH?
 
The first PTO download is the expansion itself. It is a whole other game in itself. It will make a completely different install for you. The 2-6 are updates of the PTO expansion.

The same is true for Korea, ETO expansion, MAW, and OFF. They are all completely different games in themselves.

To make a copy of CFS3 you need the multi install tool available at Martin Wright's website. It is under Beta Programs and the download is called MultiCFS3.

Ah djees im copying the file like a copy paste job :costumes: you see im screwing it up right now lol ...... hehehe
 
You still need that multi install tool because if you don't rename the whole program with the tool, one CFS3 could interfere with the other when you play it.

After you copy CFS3 put the multi install tool inside your copy and run it. Put your name change in the box that says current user folder name. Hit accept and you should be ready to go.

ok i have the multi tool but now im seriously getting scared to do something wrong

you saying that i have to run the multi tool but i have to put it inside the copy? where in the copy my copy gows like this

C:\Users\Kevin\Downloads\CFS3 Backup\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 3
 
put it in the main folder of your copy . double click, hit run, change name in box, accept.
very easy
Just put in a simple name you'll remember, but don't go over the limit for letters. Whatever space you don't use the program will fill up the empty space.
