Want to make OFF installation easier?

If you've got the older version, CFS3 3.0, the one that has to be loaded and patched before your OFF install, do yourself a favor and pony-up for the $9.99 version from Amazon.com. Having those discs (literally) cut my install time in half, and I've found that there are fewer gremlins lurking around OFF when I go to do some flying.

Also, if you already have CFS3 and OFF Phase 2 installed on your machine, don't uninstall it! BHaH will install right over it. A seamless installation and it even keeps your config settings from Phase 2.

Not alway's advisable even though it will work, that's how I did it. However my FPS were a disappointing 12-28, because of my Phase 2 slider settings of 5-3-3-5-1.
I'm happy as can be NOW at 25-55 with 4-2-2-3-1

For 100% purity install fresh, use a newer CFS3 as ivanmoe says, preferably the new Ubisoft "Exclusive" DVD one (hard to find).

Remove P2 first if you have it installed.

See FAQ for how Q21 I think.

To add to Polovski's advice, you can also find it as a "That's Hot" DVD. With the DVD version, the BHAH installation is easy and you won't need a disc in your drive to play.

Thanks duck a new one that! Ubisoft DVD doesn't need to be in to play either. Cool beans!
