Mod for Swastikas and German Flags? (ETO and MAW Mods?)

T

Members +
Hello everybody!
I haven't been here for quite awhile. Just got back into CFS3/Firepower flying the B-17 Missions and starting the Firepower Western Front Campaign. I recently retired and finally have some time to spend with my FSims!

Questions: Where can I find a mod for Swastikas on planes and authentic German Flags for CFS3? I looked in the Warbirds Library and so far haven't seen anything.

I'm interested in the ETO and MAW mods. Are they still available and where can I obtain them? Are they complicated to install? I also have OFF3. Are their any conflicts with OFF3 or Firepower with these two Mods?

Thanks, I hope everyone here is doing great and ready for Turkey Day!
 
Sorry, I just noticed the sticky for the //aussiex.org link for ETO. Wow! There are a lot of DL's!

Listed there:

CFS3 ETO Expansion 1.0
CFS3 ETO Expansion 1.20
CFS3 ETO Expansion Cumulative Update 1.40 Install Pack
CFS3 Firepower Heavy Bombers 2
CFS3 MK1 Spitfire

I assume as I've done with adding Mods in other games that all the above updates have to be installed in the order listed?

And, again is there a mod for Swastikas and authentic German Flags in CFS3?
Sorry for being kind of a pest here, but I'm excited about getting started adding mods to CFS3. Any help to these answers will be greatly appreciated!
 
Welcome back,
There are many Mods for the CFS3 family of sims now..
I have Firepower and OFF3 loaded with no problems here..

I can recommend the ETO/PTO expansions and the MAW expansion..
They are fun..

You Must keep a stock CFS3 3.1 set up on your machine to load any of the expansions for the first time..

The "multiCFS3" program by Martin Wright is a needed program.. Here is a link to this..

http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/

with this program you can mod any CFS3 program and still keep a stock version on your computer..

"And, again is there a mod for Swastikas and authentic German Flags in CFS3?"

Most all of the aircraft now have to proper markings, and in ETO and CFS3 the flags are correct for the most part..
always follow the instructions to the letter when installing the expansions..
and all should be well..


"I assume as I've done with adding Mods in other games that all the above updates have to be installed in the order listed?"

Yes, load the expansions in order, follow the instructions included..


Here is the link for downloads (MAW)

HobbitHouse,

Thanks for the quick reply. I get most of your info. On the question of the stock CFS3 running on my PC, clarification: As of now, I'm running CFS3 stock with the addition of Firepower, no other mods (as mentioned I do have OFF3 also). Can I install the ETO expansion into my CFS3 as-is without a multi-install? I'd rather go this simple route is possible.

Click to expand...

Unless I am mistaken, you must have a Stock CFS3-3.1 without the firepower add-on.
To load ETO/PTO and MAW correctly..And the new BOB CFS3 set up By Pat..

The firepower add on tends to take over the CFS3 stock set up and changes items that effect
the Expansions ..

I use the martain wright program to set up Modded versions of CFS3..
I have 13 installs of CFS3 in expansions and modded versions..
Still keeping the stock versions of each also running..Unaffected by mods..

It Is worth the effort to do this..
And the MultiCFS3 program is very easy to set up and use..
All the expansions rely on it to seperate them from the CFS3 Stock program..

You may have to re load CFS3 to the stock set up to load the expansions correctly..
Or load in a new CFS3 stock set up using the MultiCFS3 program..

Just rename your firepower Set up in CFS3 and use the MultiCFS3 program..

and then re load CFS3- 3.1 stock set up and you should be safe to load the expansions correctly..

Thanks very much for the link. You're another one of the many great poeple on this forum. Its' a pleasure to be back here. I'm finally adding mods fo CSF3 after owning the game for over two years. (Better late than never I suppose!)
