Combat flight Simulator 3... huge problems

Hey!

CFS3 saw in a store just for a few euros and I thought well give it a try. So I bought, installed and... something is wrong... First, it broke after the introduction movie but it was not a message of error just a 'cfs3.exe no longer works"... so I created a new account with admin rights and tried again... Yet, with a driver updated for my nvidia card and software that forces my core duo for only uses the base, I already do in the game... but the textures are a little scary... like in the main screen, I can only the that driver guy hanging out with his plane, but the field is all black, I see no button click the hangar in the background is stretched, the heavens are all greenish, violet and all that... once I did in the game, everything is black around the plane and it is interrupted every ten seconds...
It would be great if someone could help me ;)
Thank you!
(I even tried compatibility mode, but it doesn't work either..)

Hello Braucke.

This usually indicates some sort of problem with the game and video drivers.  Many video drivers stop supporting older games properly because they are no more tested against.  I suggest to go to the display settings and try the different settings here to see if this improves the it.

But other than that, my experience there is not you can do other than try former pilots to display. Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience... I crawled off NNTP - for now.

    I just combed my 1998 version of the SFC - the one with the mustang on the cover.  I can not install it at all!

    The sepia action aerial shooting appears small turns turquoise ring and that's all.  It hangs then (excuse the pun).

  • Combat Flight Simulator 3 will not drive install

    The drive, which I bought, Combat Flight Simulator 3, cannot be read by my computer, 3 XP, Windows 8.  I tried different ways to install this drive, but all without success.  Microsoft Diagnostics can not read or the other.  As far as I can check my computer has all the requirements for this game, but I didn't even get an error message.  Various ways to install just to bring the error message, insert the disk when the disk is already in the drive.  I have a funny feeling that the disc is a complete space, that I have been ripped off by the seller.  If this is the case, then I'll send the disk to Microsoft (very) and ask them to investigate the seller.  Comments, please.

  • Unable to run the original version of Combat flight simulator in Windows Vista

    Hello

    I am trying to run the original 1998 version of combat flight simulator in vista. I've run it no problem in xp. The program installs OK and works OK, but does not have a joystick. I can calibrate the joystick in the program, but not actually control anything. I installed Flight Simulator 98 and had exactly the same problem. Both programs ran perfectly under xp. I realize has the latest versions will work more than likely OK, but for the moment cannot afford to replace my existing one.
