CFS3 Multiplayer Vista - Aircraft Mismatch Error?

[Guest]

Hi,

Just installed Vista ultimate 32 and all is well appart from Combat Flight
Sim 3 multiplayer. When I try to join a multiplayer I get an error...."You do
not have the same set of aircraft used on this server. You will not be able
to play on this server. Mismatched aircraft b_29..............etc etc"

Its one of 2 things...Either whilst I was installing Vista the rest of the
world installed a new set of aircraft....OR....Vista is causing the problem.

Any ideas?....does Vista modify the files on installation so they dont match
XP files?

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....its my fave game!!!!!!

I am not familiar with this game. So this is about all I can offer. Is there
a patch you could install for Vista? And if not, then you might be able to
copy the files off an XP (which I dont support, as I believe it could be
illegal) and put them in your game's folder.


Best of luck.

Im relieved someone else has the same problem. Starting to think I was going
a little insane. Thanks for your reply. I will keep trying to find a solution
and will post it if one appears.
I have tried everything I can think of but every now and then another idea
crosses my mind so I wont give up on it yet. Microsoft themselves couldnt
answer the question. Seems weird when they wrote both pieces of software.
Got fs2004 out of the cupboard for now but its not as much fun. I hope a
solution arrives soon.
Thanks again for your response.

Michael.

I have the same problem but im running xp... its starting to annoy me
cos i couldplay it on my pc but now i cant play it on my labtop im
not hapy

Hi mate,

I got round the problem in XP by installing all the updates...ie...the 3.1
patch etc. If you have no 'designer' aircraft and are running the ones that
came with the game it should work.
Vista is somehow different tho. Still trying to install, run, and play
online but still not having any of it! Im starting to wonder if directx could
be anything to do with it. Version 11 is exclusive to Vista so it
seems......the plot thickens............
