    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.

Windows 10 problem

My wife recently bought me a new Dell computer with Windows 10. My cfs2 is working fine, except I get a small black screen instead of the plane when I click on an aircraft. How can I fix this.

CFS2 was ment to be ran at close to square settings. As long as the game screen is close to square all should be good.
 
Request to Rami

Rami, I know you are bogged and Busy....But is there a way to have a subforum on the top of the
CFS2 page ( like the FS2004 Forum ) that would make it easier for our newer members to find the
"How To" sections on making the Sim work in Win 7 and Win 10.
Just a thought......We all luv ya dude.

All he needs to is make a sticky for windows 7 & 10 and leave it up. I know the CFS3 forum has a sticky for win 10 up for over a year now.
 
I am amazed CFS2 will work on W7, To get it to run and my old games COD Too I went to Windows utilities
in there is a number KB3086255, I uninstalled it and CFS2 worked. This number is included when you
update W7 MS will not tell you about that but so far there is no patch from MS (which they have no intentions
of doing. So be alert when MS wants to do a windows update that will cause the number to come back. Also
when you install W7 for the first time MS will ask for a user name (you cannot get around it) once that is
done it will ask you to update w7 do not let that happen. Say I will decide on my own, that way MS cannot
install Admin previlages.

I hope this helps

windows 10/joystick

Hello,
spent hours trying to get cfs 2 working on w10, no joy.
my thrustmaster joystick is calibrated to work ok but plays dead, non functional when trying to fly.
sometimes the screen freezes when trying to exit, last time had to use my backup disk to get back
to the desktop.
any comments welcome,
regards

Omega,

I'm not sure how to help, except to try seeing if you can run the .exe file in an older OS mode. You can do that with some Windows Operating Systems. :dizzy:

In my experience thrustmaster products are DOA with CFS2. There's some strange animosity between the entire line and the sim. All kinds of weird gremlins unleashed when you try to pair these two. Just sideline the TM joystick for your other sims and pick up a used Logitech or Saitek or Microsofty from someplace.

I have played CFS2 with my Thrustmaster 'Top Gun' Afterburner 2 for ages without any issue...
 
Good for you, but all systems aren't equal. Apparently Omega and i have different setups, and hence lesser experiences.
