    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

Problem to run P2... The proggy can't recognized the DVD

B

before

I've recieved a copy of P2 files from Joshua Iceman [Thx to him] and bought a DVD of CFS3 on the internet -Ubisoft exclusive collection DVD-.

So today I tried to make it running but it looks like it won't start. Im stuck at 'Please insert CD'... but the DVD is already into the drive :mixedsmi:. CFS3 is working fine alone, but not the offmanager indeed.

DVD is a french version, but apparently I've installed it in english. I didn't really care about the language during installation, but the menu is written in english, so... Anyway, I've turned the regional settings to US; well, I'm running an English version of MS Windows XP SP3.

Any help would be very welcomed... I've bought CFS3 only to play OFF :redf:
 
Hello,
there's a trick to get it runninng with a DVD - however i have no idea ... but wait ...


copy the “CFS3.exe” from the CSF3 install into the OFF game folder - delete the old “shell.exe” first, or backup the file with a different name (e.g. Oldshell.exe). Then rename the “CFS3.exe” in the OFF folder to “shell.exe”.

or
1) Navigate to where you installed your DVD version of CFS3 and locate the main CFS3 folder: \Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 3

2) Copy the main CFS3.exe file from \Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 3 to your main OFF folder i.e. to: \CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields

3) Delete the OFF file shell.exe in : \CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields.

4) Rename the newly copied in CFS3.exe to Shell.exe and you should be good to go!

BTW P3 takes care of these new DVD versions of CFS3.


Hope it works,
greetings,
Catfish
