Hi Gents,
When I installed the new WOFF2.0 I had to reload the whole game into a new folder and lost everything.
Can I get some help on installing SweetFX? I followed this... but still no joy.
Thanks!

1. Edit the d3d8.ini file to NoMultisampling=1 for compatibility with SweetFX and set to 'read only'.
2. Run CFS3Config.exe and make sure you choose your proper display options selection again (i.e. it may show 800 x 600 x 16).
3. Download FlightFX from here
http://riseofflight.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=34103 and install it on your computer.
4. Since version 1.0 of Flight FX does not have latest version (1.5.1) of Sweet FX included you need to download that from here
http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=381912 and extract all of it to the FX folder where you have Flight FX installed. Let it overwrite any of the files that may have the same names as what FlightFX already had.
5. Now you can run Flight FX and click on Register New Game at the bottom left. It will open a dialog box where you'll navigate it to your cfs3.exe file. That will populate the paths at the top right of Flight FX for you.
6. Click on Enable Sweet FX and it will copy most of the needed files into your CFS3 install. It misses SweetFX_compatibility_settings.txt which is in the Flight FX / FX / SweetFX folder and needs to be manually copied into the matching one Flight FX created in your CFS3 directory.
7. Select the FX Preset you want to use from the pull down list. The files behind this list are located in the Flight FX / FX / SweetFX / Presets folder. They are just text files so you can create new presets manually by cut and past if you like. Make a back-up copy of any of your favorites because it is all too easy to overwrite them by mistake in Flight FX.
That is really all there is to it. At this point you can edit any of the settings under the FX Settings tab and the effect will be immediate.
By default the Scroll Lock key will toggle the shader effects on and off.
The Print Screen Key will place a screenshot in your CFS3 root directory (This overrules CFS3 that normally wants to save screenshots in the CFS3 folder under My Documents).
If you uncheck the Enable SweetFX box in Flight FX it will uninstall SweetFX (but not the D3D8 and SweetFX_compatibility_settings files you did manually) and you're back to normal.
Edited to omit having to download the d3d8.dll files as they are now part of WOFF2.0.
