I just installed CFS3 and it runs perfectly fine with no compatibility issues whatsoever. Trelawney, have you sent this off to OBD Support? If not I recommend you do so as it will likely be addressed much faster. Although OBD do check the forums, it is not their first go to on a daily basis. They are very busy developing WOTR These days, but I know they check their support email regularly. Hope this helps

Trelawney are you already contacting me in email support? As I said there we need all files in C:\OBDSoftware\WOFF\Logs (or in your case D:\FlandersFields\Logs). plus dxdiag plus MSINFO output as per the last 2 pages of the FAQ which explains all the files we'd need/. Warning, DO NOT post logs them here some will have info you need to keep private. Regarding your comment "Might this be relevant? There doesn't seem to be a builfCfg.xml in my WOFF folder." No it's not relevant at all - ignore it. Many options are for devleopment only and info that only we will know what it means (not all in straight forward or obvious!) http://www.overflandersfields.com/index_html_files/FAQ%20WOFF%20UE.pdfSee Section 35, did you try all of those? Try setting cfs3.exe, right click Properties, compatibility, set to "run as an administrator"

First of all: Thanks for the advice, guys! Sadly, the Win7 compatibility mode didn't help.
@Polovski: I haven't contacted support yet, since I didn't want to badger you during the weekend. I'll digest the information you posted and will contact support, soon.
Thanks for the help, again!
EDIT: Admin rights didn't help, I can hear the ambient sound (and my guns when pressing SPACE), but the screen remains black. Also yes, I have tried everything under Section 35.

Trelawney,
Apologies in advance if this sounds silly, but did you try just leaving the black screen with sound for a few minutes? I seem to recall that the first time I set up WOFF a few years ago it seemed to take a long time after loading the first mission for it to come up, and I thought I"d had a BSOD. I even Cntl-Alt-Del'd it twice before, on the third try, I walked away to get a drink and curse for a while, only to find the thing started when I was out of the room. It's a long shot, but I thought I'd share.

Did you go get the correct drink? Raine, what were you having?

Latest drivers? It's possibly creating *.bdp files, which means your install did not finish properly. Did the aircraft cloner program pop up and run at the end of the install? See section 17 of the FAQ, nuke the instal, and try again, disable AV etc. Follow that through step-by-step anyway.l http://www.overflandersfields.com/index_html_files/FAQ%20WOFF%20UE.pdf

I can hear the ambient sound (and my guns when pressing SPACE), but the screen remains black. Also yes, I have tried everything under Section 35. A couple of easy things that might give a clue as to where the problem lies: If you exit the mission (cntrl+Q, Enter) does the screen come back to life? If you unplug and replug the monitor video cable does the screen come back to life?

FWIW, I'm running with 17.11.3 drivers and not experiencing any problems.
There are no accidents and no fatal flaws in the machines; there are only pilots with the wrong stuff.

JJJ65, after reading your post, I updated to 17.12.1, and am not having any problems. Go figure.
I remember having black screen problems some years ago with WOFF3...there was a FAQ on how to resolve it, but am not sure how current that info might be.
