    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.

CFS2 and Windows 10

Has anyone had difficulty loading a vanilla CFS2 in Win10? I am without a sim operation and need help! Thanks!

Kb3035583

that's the update that puts the Win 10 icon on your taskbar - and if you delete it and you get a warning that this update is available you hide it - right ? that's supposed to prevent it coming back - yes? so why does this *** update sneak back in a couple of months later and you have go thru' the whole pain in the butt performance again ? this has happened to me a couple of times since I started this thread

Hi Baldy,
The only thing I know of is to change your windows update settings to 'Download updates but let me choose whether to install them'. That way you can hide KB3035583 and not install it. KB3035583 will keep coming back as an important update, but you can now choose whether to install or hide it. Choosing whether to install or not also gives you the opportunity to select 'More Information' about the update so you can read what the update is for. Another one that has to do with Windows 10 is KB3123862, its info is at this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3123862
 
Thanks Oglivie, a good idea - you get a warning of updates when going into shutdown but but I don't always remember to check them out - so thanks again

Graphic card acceleration Problem

Hi Guys,

I recently upgraded my system.
I installed new graphic card and change operating system to Windows 10.

Though cfs2 is running and I can play games, I cant enable graphic card acceleration.

On display setting menu, it seems game detects graphic card but can't check the box of "enable hardware acceleration"

anybody have an idea how to fix this?

I tried to change security settings of Win10 and run the game as administrator, also tried to run the game in Win7 compatible mode but no joy.

My card is Geforce GTX960.

P.S.

I installed latest graphic driver and also re-installed CFS2. Still no joy.

Anyone here ever experienced some problem?

Yuki
 
You may able to trick CFS2 into use the settings. Open you CFS2.cfg and find [DISPLAY]. Below your Device=NVIDIA Geforce GTX960
Mode=1680x1050x16

Add one of the following. Note: 0= Off. 1= On

Dither=1
Filter=1
TriLinear=1


The above are Filter Options. Only one can be one at one time. Dither= No Filter Filter = Bilinear Filter TriLinear = Trilinear Filter.

All 3 of the below can be on at the same time. MipMap = Mip Maping AntiAlias = Anti-Alias HWTnL = T and L.
MipMap=1
AntiAlias=1
HWTnL=1

So when your done your [DISPLAY] could loo like this.

[DISPLAY]
Device=NVIDIA Geforce GTX960 (\\. \DISPLAY1)
Mode=1680x1050x16
TriLinear=1
MipMap=1

Also have you tried to change to NVIDIA Geforce GTX960? It seems you stuck in 16 bit mode.
 
Allen,


Thank you very much for responding.

I tried to change CFS2 config manually as you suggested but unfortunately, there is no joy yet.
The game seems still running 16bit 640x480 setting. Graphic is still bad.

- Also have you tried to change to NVIDIA Geforce GTX960? It seems you stuck in 16 bit mode -

Yes, I also tried to check video card settings but I don't have a enough knowledge for it.
I at least installed latest driver.
Is there any ways to check if I stuck in 16bit mode?

Any other programs as like Photoshop or EDIUS for video editing works fine with full acceleration of the card.
I am having problem with only CFS2............

Anyways, Thank you for your kind response.

Best,

Yuki
 
Hi Browncoat,

Thanks for responding.

I edited CFS2 config manually and it shows as

[DISPLAY]
Device=NVIDIA Geforce GTX960 (\\. \DISPLAY1)
Mode=1680x1050x16
TriLinear=1
MipMap=1
Disable=0

Yuki
 
Yuki,

I run a GTX970, and I have the same issue you do. I can't use the in game graphics setting for CFS2. Try copying this into your [DISPLAY] section of your CFS2.cfg file.

[DISPLAY]
Device=NVIDIA Geforce GTX960 (\\. \DISPLAY1)
Mode=1680x1050x32
trilinear=1
mipmap=1
AntiAlias=1
HWTnL=1

Hi Browncoat,

Thanks for your advice.
I tried it but still no joy.....

Did it solve your problem?
And what is your operating system?
what is your dirextX virsion? Mine us ver.12

I am wondering which causes this problem.
Video card or Windows 10? or Direct X

Anyways, thank you for your concern.

Yuki
 
For those of you having problems, and I may be off base on this, do you have CFS2 installed in the default Microsoft path, like C:\Program Files\Combat Flight Simulator 2 or anything like C:\Program Files\ something\something or very similar?

Boatz
 
Boatz,

Yes. I tried for fresh install also. It's in C:\Program Files(86)\Combat Flight Simulator 2.
But no success.

Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.
