hunterr's problem

Always re-run cfs3config after installing Ankors shaders! And run this one as admin too.

What I usually do is: create shortcuts for CFS3.exe and CFS3config.exe on my desktop. Right-cklick on them, open properties and change both of them to "Win XP SP3" and "run as admin"

Also be sure to delete a file called "uisel.xml" in your appdata-folder. The path is usually called something like

"C:\Users\"YourUsernameHere"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\combatflightsimulator3"

you need to set "show hidden files" in the folder properties to find this directory.

Another try would be a file called "multicfs3.exe" (found in your ETO install, i think). Copy this in your CFS3 main directory, run it as admin (and compatibility-settings to winXP SP3!). Now change the "current user folder name" to something else. The path to your appdata-folder would then change accordingly.

Hope it helps somehow.

Hi, Mongoose , i have follow your suggestion and i have reinstall a clean install up to 3.1a and keep a backup . The new install NOT work whit Ankor shaders how you suggest . If i remove the ankor shaders it work like new.
The OLD cfs3 folder whitout Ankor shaders , now give me this error : mission failed to load , ever , quick combat not work for same error. No more CTD when loading the game.
In the NEW cfs3 folder if i copy and paste the mission folder from old cfs3 folder to new give me error : mission failed to load.
In the NEW install of CFS3 , i have NOT install winding man 4.7 seasons again. END

So you mean your other install which you said worked really well is now the one which gives you the missions errors? Even after you deleted appdata and re ran cfg?

But your new install is working fine without Ankor's Shaders but CTD with it?


I am spray painting doors and other stuff today so just have to do here unless Italflyer solves your problems.

Ciao Hunter

Sorry, can't help you there. Never worked with team viewer, nor do I have time tonight.

Did you try to delete the uisel.xml as I suggested?

Cheers

hunter has deleted his whole ApData file every time he CTD!:banghead: It would be nice if some of the computer/software experts here stepped in with ideas!:wavey:
 
It is very hard to diagnose without more information. Screen shots showing the contents of the AppData folder, and folder contents of the problematic install (from within Windows Explorer) help clarify things.

I agree when "mission file fails to load" the problem is usually the uisel.xml - NOT the one in the root install, the one in the Application Data pathway.

Multicfs3.exe is a first step to make sure something isn't fundamentally wrong with the install. It allows you to differently name the second and third etc installs so that there are the proper folders in the AppData pathway. You can find multicfs3 in ETO apparently. You can also find it included in both my uploads - MAW 1943, and the complete refresh for stock CFS3. Whenever a new install is created multicfs3 has to be run.

But assuming the new install is set up correctly and patched to 3.1a, get rid of the uisel and let CFS3 rebuild it if you get "mission file fails to load" message. (Sometimes I can go beyond the error message, by selecting something else, a mission or campaign, and then flying, despite all the flashing error messages. The next time, the UI interface works using the information captured in the flight).
 
Isn't that the same message that appears when you have moved/deleted the airplane you had been flying and the game can't find it?

Deleting the AppData folder also dletes the uisel file, so he has done that, and so have I on his teamspeak.

He runs 2 installs only; both have different names through Multicfs3.exe

I have not been on his PC with teamspeak to examine the mission fails to laod issue. (Too busy house remodeling this wk end). He has JGSE on his PC and a ton of other sims so I think he's not totally a novice. I have np idea why Ankor's is causing him a problem though withoout digging deep into his PC set up' and I know less than many; just about manage my own!!
 
So then, just to clarify:

did you run cfs3config.exe AFTER aplying Ankor's shaders again?

Don't close the config.exe by the little cross in the upper right corner, but under the menu "File", then "exit".

Otherwise, I'm out of ideas for the moment.
