Installing Phase 3 with Ubisoft CFS3 DVD

I am a little confused!

I have acquired a copy of the Exclusive Ubisoft CFS3 DVD from Mediadis.com in Brussels. I have a copy of OFF Phase3 intransit from somewhere.

Under FAQ, the question is asked if there is a need to install CFS3 first, i.e. before installing OFF Phase3. The answer is no, if I have the Ubisoft DVD.

Also, apparently, I will need the original CFS3 disk inserted to run OFF unless I have the new Ubisoft "Exclusive" DVD.

Er... if I don't need to install the Ubisoft disk OR insert it in the DVD drive to play OFF, how the blank does OFF know I've got it?:isadizzy:

Or will all become clear when I receive the OFF Phase 3 disk?

Click to expand...

Because the installer asks you if you have CFS3 installed or not and as it installs the installer then asks you to remove the OFF disk - insert the UBI DVD (it grabs all the files it needs) and then you are prompted to reinsert the OFF DVD....

IOW yes it will be clear when you install P3 .... ;-)

HTH

And there was me thinking (hoping?) that OFF 3 was psychic! ;)
 
Just read the back of the DVD box, follow the simple steps, read what the installer tells you job done ;)

The FAQ went over this but I just tried to simplify the questions:

What do I need, so I can fly OFF BHaH?

Requirements:

Well firstly you need a PC computer, a joystick, a DVD Drive, Windows XP, or Windows Vista 32 or 64 ...
just over 15GB of free space on a drive... an urge to fly in WW1 :). Of course you also need to buy OFF BHaH
Also see below for other requirements:

Q. Will I need to buy a copy of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 (known as "CFS3") ?
A. YES you DO need to buy a copy of CFS3 unless you have it already of course! :)

Q. Do I need to actually install CFS3 first?
A. During install process the OFF BHaH installer will ask you to provide CFS3 so it can copy the CFS3 files it needs.

You can provide the files required from either :
1) An installed CFS3
- OR-
2) Your original CFS3 disks

You can choose.

NOTE: However if your CFS3 CD/DVD is older, it may be CFS3 v3.0 not v3.1 - in this case you must use option 1) above AND you will need to patch that CFS3 install to CFS3 v3.1.
Patches for CFS3 are available from the Microsoft site. See question 5 under "Miscellaneous Questions" further down for more info.

Q. Do I still need my CFS3 disk to fly OFF BHaH?
Yes. All the protection Microsoft or other publisher added to CFS3 will still apply. So OFF requires CFS3 CD to fly.
However if you have the DVD version of CFS3 ("Exclusive" brand DVD version from Ubisoft) then the DVD does NOT need to be in to fly CFS3 or OFF.

Basically that install of OFF BHaH will no longer need any files from CFS3 but when you go to fly the in-use CFS3 engine will require the CFS3 CD inserted as normal.
 
Anyone know where the ubi dvd version can be ordered from?I couldn't find it on the ubi website:help:
