New CFS2 Install...

[Allen]

Allen,

That's a fair point, and perhaps I'm putting too much of a positive spin on this, but in a lot of ways I see Dasuto247's postings and don't see them as "problems," but rather someone with a lot of knowledge in specific areas, and someone who is intellectually curious, on the verge of putting it all together. He's kind of where I was six or seven years ago.

For example, many of his mission builder questions are related to things he wants to have happen in the sim, and doesn't understand why they don't. He then wants to know how to fix it. His MB skills are already advanced; I've never dared to build missions without waypoints, for example. I didn't learn from Cody Coyote's handbook, because I somehow wasn't aware of its existence until well into my MB "career."

I learned from looking at the works of others, especially those missions on the Groundcrew site. Not something I'd recommend for someone else, but it was the long and winding road that I took in CFS2.

Dasuto247 seem do fine with MB but stumbling when it comes to other things. I don't want to over load some one with too much info at one time.

Not criticism, just help

I gave default location. If you changed CFS2 from its default location than it vary likely you know where your CFS2 folder is located.

I do recall on some of the new OS like Win7 installing to the default location has probs related to premissions. I never had this with my Win7. If you had the probs with the default location it was to just best to install to C:...

It's perfectly ok, Allen.

I only wanted to correct the impression I had from your reply that installing to the default folder was made mandatory by MS. Just because I read this in the past in other threads on this subject and MS had the habit of indicating default HDD locations for their products as a "must comply with".

It's not the case with CFS1, 2, FS98, FS2000 and 2002, all the MS flight simulators I used over the years. In fact, the icon to allow choosing a different folder from the default one for one of those simulators, is available during the install process.

Dasuto247 is a young member of this forum and he started working right away with CFS2 with intense dedication. We are all grateful to him for this, but I wanted to keep him from against the same wrong concepts we all tripped over when we started the wonderful adventure of CFS2 tweaking.

Cheers!

Viper,
Is that a SE5 in your sig?

Blood_Hawk,

Actually, I don't know; one of the guys from our FS club made the Banner. Although I don't know the Model of the airplane, it's flying over Castle Rock, which is located about 30 miles South of Denver.
