thanks - i didnt change the gpu setting for cfs3.exe, but rathe rjust have my general nvidia settings set to use the nvidia card as the preference all the time, though if i only need to have the cfs3 exe changed to be nvidia card specific then i might just do that.

yes there is so much to look at and explore, i am excited by it in a way that i didnt think i would be! now that i have this working i am more inclined to get WotR when i next have the funds. i did rename the video too, i think that really was the key here.

does the front line ever change position - i mean dynamically, - if there is an offensive, then does the winning side push the line back towards hte enemy? can air actions affect the success of ground activities?

The frontlines move in the game, typically on Jan 1 and July 1 of most years, to reflect the historic location for that stretch of the war. It's not dynamic in the sense you were mentioning, but works well for a war where the lines were pretty static. One airman would never effect the outcome of a battle so that won't happen in the game anymore than it would in real life. The main goal in the campaign is simply to stay alive and do your small part.

Cheers!

OK yeah no idea why but some laptops seem to have a problem with the splash video very odd. Yes there are 12 front line states - these represent the main positions through the 4 years of the war.

The reason there aren't more is 12 changes means in effect 12 landscapes - where airfields become overrun, change sides, become abandoned as the barrage effects moved and so on. Quite complex to deal with effectively 12 sims of ground objects and airfields and squads moving changing and so on.

We are certainly nuts to include so much in there, the amount of work to do all that is in WOFF really is insane.
