Like it says, I don't have a shore line at the ocean. I know someone brought this up before. All I did was install the WM terrain, but I'm not even sure it was there before in the stock terrain as I had not flown near the ocean before.

search the SOH cfs3 forum with "shoreline"

Two steps should fix this.

First, run CFS3config and under custom settings, make sure that the terrain slider is set to at least 2 (shoreline doesn't show if at 1) and that in the over-rides page, that the disable shoreline box is not ticked. Exit using file/exit not the X top right/

Then, look in C:/Documents and Settings/[your username]/Application Data/Microsoft/Combat Flight Simulator 3. With Notepad, not IE6, open the file configoverrides.xml, and make sure this line looks like this "DisableWaterShorelineRender val = n"

If it's set to Y, the shoreline won't display. This is the file that the CFS3config proggrie creates, but sometimes this value doesn't reset.

OK, got it fixed.

Ivor, thanks for the info, I added your notes to my CFS3 file, but that wasn't the problem.
I did find it with a search here: shore line
Basically, on the CD2 copy the cab8.cab file to your CFS3/Terrains2 folder and unzip the cab zips there. Does somthing during the WM terrain patch change this, or is it a fault or corruption in the game install?

viewUI.xml in the Documents Settings\yourname\application data\CFS3 folder seems to have settings for view paramaters, but I can't get the external views to slow down when panning. Here's the text dealing with views:











I changed the "RotationRate="0.9" to .2 and it slows the pan speed down, but only in cockpit view.
I also tried adding the "RotationRate="0.2" in the spotview paramaters but it doesn't recognize it.
Not sure if changing the spotview angles or delta would do anything or what to change them to.

Any ideas out there?

I had that too Rabu, unpacked the cab8 like you, I think it's an MS thing.

It's an MS install issue and has existed from day numero uno of CFS3's life (although it has never happened on my PC's)

CFS3, upon install, sometimes does not unpack the CAB8 zip from CD#2 - no one knows why ;-))

WM

Go figure... MS!

By the way, Mark, the scenery looks terrefic! I know you're really busy with OFF, but do you have any ideas on the external Pan speed or did you all get used to it.. It may just be me. I still think RB had the best paning using the stick key combo and am surprised no one else seems to have picked up on it.

Hi Rob,

Not sure as I have not had that problem - is CFS3 running real time?

Press "Z" I think it is to pop up the stats in the top left hand corner and make sure that the seconds go by as seconds...(I have remapped my stats function so I am not 100% sure of the default key)

I have seen at least two people post on CFS3 running "faster" than real time - other wise sorry mate no time to help right now - yes very busy building beta....

:-))
