~S~ all,First problem is my Video card. I found the answer to my problem of the game locking up my system, changing my display to 32 bit color. Reason for doing this is I have the lastest drivers installed for my card and I'm running DirectX8. Have to think about changing back to 1.04 drivers. Don't know if I want to do that.
Also is the view when inside the cockpit suppost to be on the dark side? It looks like I've got shades on and I had to brighten up my monitor settings to get it to look more natural. Is there something I'm missing in the settings? Now my gun problem with the P51. I had my gun/ammo monitior turned on and it showed 6 guns. But on 2 were firing when I pulled the trigger. Guns 3 and 6 if I remember right.
Is there a fix for this? Thanks for your help here. I can tell from what little flying I did last night that this is a Flight sim that will require lots of practice to get good.
I usually fly CFS1 and CFS2 with radar off, labels off, no cone, etc. but last night was alot harder to do. AI planes were a little bit more active and didn't do the old circle around the wagon flying as in CFS1 IP: Logged |

if you have brigtness problems on your voodoo try altering the gamma settings for it in the voodoo tweaks, I don't thnik I ever had to alter my settings, I'm set at 1.3 on both D3D and Glide, but you can raise them so the picture is brighter in those types of games.the guns problem with the P51, had you taken any damage? I think the P51 has code for gun jams, so that could be the cause, or try pressing the number 3 key to make sure all guns are selected. IP: Logged |

Thanks Nat, I'll look and see what my settings are. On the guns problem after I learned about it in the training mission P51-P51 I went to the takeoff training mission and tried it.
I typed the 3 key to select all then fired my guns. Same thing only 2 were firing. Or at least only 2 showed the amount of ammo available decreasing. I'll look at it again tonight. I need to find the manual that's on the CD. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. IP: Logged |

It sounds like you are pressing your secondary fire button. On planes with cannon it will fire only cannon and not mg's. On the P-51 with no cannons I'm not sure what the secondary trigger does, but maybe it fires only two of the mg's. and that's what your seeing. I'm not home so can't verify this.Is your stick programmable? Maybe some how the primary trigger is programmed as the secondary. Try using the keyboard fire commands for primary and secondary triggers to confirm this. Sorry, I don't remember which keyboard keys do this. IP: Logged |

Dittos on the P-51 guns problem. However this only happens with the planePack 6 aircraft. Just to check...I reinstalled the original SDOE aircraft & took out the P-51 Tuskeege planes....result: fully functioning of ALL 50's.
So how do I remove the PlanePack 6 P-51 ONLY and use that original P-51 and keep the great graphic cockpit????IP: Logged |

Well tried the keyboard and still only 2 guns are firing. Any ideas? Do I need to reload plane pack 6? IP: Logged |

I've found out the problem is only in single, off line play. I went online and the P51 had no problems with the guns.Have no Ideal why. Dart IP: Logged |
