Hello All,
I'm new to CFS3, very new to ETO, and just arrived at this Forum. I have everything installed and working up through ETO Rev 1.4.
Unfortunately, I find that some of the historical Missions will not launch. I can select the Mission, and bring up the Briefing, but when I click on "Fly" the program screen freezes for several seconds (although the music keeps playing) then a Windows message comes up reading:
"Microsoft Flight Simulator 3 has stopped working." Helpful as ever, Microsoft offers this detailed explanation for the stoppage: "A problem has caused the program to stop working properly." Well, OK then, "a problem" mystery solved!
Thus far, I have only tried opening the first 24 Historical Missions in Era 1. Eight of the 24 fail to open as described, every time on repeated tries -- at least this gremlin is a consistent bugger. This glitch also occurred at my Rev 1.2 install with the same eight Mission files. I went on to the Rev 1.4 install under the time honored approach of, Why not? Maybe it will self-correct with the 1.4 update. No luck, but still consistent.
I am running Windows 10 on a good machine. CFS3 works fine. ETO Quick Combat works fine using the same aircraft in the non-working Mission files. I have tried turning UAC to zero, and setting graphic quality to the default level 2 (although, for the Missions that work, my performance is great at level 4). Same results opening the same eight mission files.
Any thoughts?
