Hi,
I'm back to this forum again after about a 25 year hiatus. I've kept CFS2 going on my various computers this whole time and recently got CFS1 to work on Win 10, with the help of the posts about the joystick fixes here. It has developed a new problem I will ask about at the end. but first, a little history.
It all started for me in 1994 or 5, I bought a used PC from a coworker and he was into flight sims. It was a P-166 and had Win 95 and he gave me a handful of old DOS sims and a couple half wore out joysticks. I never did figure out how to get the DOS games to work but it also had Hellbender and I broke those joysticks it was so intense. And I was hooked on flying games after that.
I was excited to get CFS 1 and had to upgrade the PC at the same time. Those were great days, all the skins, planes, scenery and sounds that people uploaded, myself included. I went by several names back then as ISP's and email addresses would come and go. I did most of my postings etc as the VW_Nut.
I didn't fly multiplayer as much as a lot of folks did, I did manage to fly with Franz Von Baron once and talked over the radio to a guy in New Jersey. Remember Roger Wilco? Remember the "Trogfighters"? I was more into writing missions and campaigns, mostly for my own entertainment, although I did upload a few of my "I thought" better ones.
I have a lot of the old files on CD, From CFS1 and 2, we can get into what all I have and if its worth uploading if this thread gets any traction.
These forums were great fun. This was actually 2 different forums back then am I correct? the "green" one and the "blue" one. i was most active on the green Combat Flight Center before the merger.
Alright that's about enough, can talk about CFS2 later. If you made it this far maybe you can help.
My keyboard quit working in CFS1, the joystick still works but somehow the keyboard quit. any body have any ideas?
Thanks
