Yes it is the patch you need.

There is no order to install PTO, ETO, MAW or BoB, all you need is a clear patched CFS3 stock install.
 
Welcome to the monkey house... Yes go the the Microsoft CFS3 website and patch to 3.1a for starters... and read the stickies here, and and and... :ernae:

:kilroy:PurpleBird, yes, go to this site: http://www.microsoft.com/Games/combatfs3/

Get BOTH Updates, 3.1 and 3.1a.

You might want to grab the Mission Builder, too.

Install both patches and the Mission Builder, if you so choose. It's also a good idea to then make a copy of your Combat Flight Simulator 3 game folder to another location outside of the directory in which in was installed. This is good for a backup so you don't have to re-install CFS3 if you make a mistake somewhere. I learned this the hard way.

Whenever you install PTO, ETO, BoB, or MAW, they simply copy what is needed from your main CFS3 folder without causing it any harm.

If you need any help, you know where to come.:d
 
Well i got all the downloading done, cfc3 patch, PTO,BOB,Maw, and i got to say those were some pretty big files. now on to some more reading then will see if i can get them to work right :icon_lol:

I know it's been a few days but i got them all loaded and have tried them all out and seam to be missing some aircraft in PTO, MAW works fine but when it loads it shows update 1.31 but i loaded all updates to 1.54, is this normal? or did the last two updates not load properly? other than that i am having a blast learning the ropes of a fighter pilot / bomber, very challenging stuff gents :applause:
 
...so happy to hear you're having a good time. -I don't recall for certain but in PTO your missing aircraft may be in an earlier version(?) :mixedsmi:
