For some reason if you use pedals they are reversed in cfs3/OFF heres the fix

You need to change the following entries in your XCA file located in C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Microsoft\Combat Flight Simulator 3.0
The folder may be hidden so check un hide files and folders





All you do is make the origninal entry into a negative number and the pedals will work properly.

How to get trackir 1 and 2 to work in cfs3/OFF

You can get trackir 1&2 to work using tir_attack 1.6 (1.7 doesn't work so well) get it here

http://www.geocities.com/tir_temp/tir_attack_1_6.zip

Get it working in game by doing this:

Tir_Attack works exceedingly well:
Start Trackir proggie and minimise, start CFS3 and Ctrl - Esc out or alt-tab out and then start TIR_Attack - jump back into CFS3 and voila...

You can start Trackir, then Tir_Attack then CFS3 but sometimes Tir_Attack has poke errors.

Graphics Tweak by bzhyoyo

graphic card : radeon 9800 pro with cat3.9 (best drivers for cfs3 with ATI cards)

resolution : 1280x1024 with AAx2 and FSAAx4

Here are the settings I use in cfs3config. It's French but you should make out most of the things as they are in the same place.

FYI, I installed OFF to:
"?:\Program Files\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" (?=drive letter)

making sure to keep the "CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" folder & OFF is working just fine so far.

I got a warning "WW1Autumn Light folder missing, the game will now close. You need to reinstall Over Flanders Fields" and was kicked back to desktop.
Solution: find the WW1 scenery folder whereever it´s placed go inside copy and paste to the \assets folder in OFF root.
You can get a few "folders missing" calls befor it all will work but be persistent in the copy and paste job and you´ll soon be overhead!!
And if the NoCD discussion is censored I´ll be glad to help via @-mail, drop me a line!
