Over Flanders Fields

[Rose]

I just downloaded Phase 2 of OFF and installed the main game (the skin pack is DLing as I type). I forgot to patch CFS3 to 3.1 after reinstalling CFS3 -- do I now have to uninstall OFF Phase 2, patch CFS3, and then REinstall OFF Phase 2? Or is patching CFS3 not a major problem?

Thanks

If I'm correct the manual states that its needed to install the patch 3.1

if I remember correctly

*install CFS3
*Run it once till the main menu (so some files will be created)
*patch it to 3.1
*install OFF by following the Readme file

good luck and happy flight

I finally decided to re-install CFS3 just so I could try Over Flanders Field.

I downloaded all the "Core Files"
I Patched CFS3 to 3.1
I ran CFS3
I tried to install the OFF fills but it stated I was missing "Phase 1"

What is Phase 1?? Everything on the Download page refers to Phase 2.

You shouldn't need phase 1. I d/l everything from the off website, installed over CFS 3.1, and was up and running in no time.

Thank Guys,

I found the problem, it was a bad download. It installed/upgraded just fine after the 2nd attempt at downloading the files.

Odd thing is that when I try to fly on the British side, I get error messages about Skins missing and it just assigns the "Default" skin. I've checked and it appears that the "Aces" skin that is required, are missing. I tried to just copy another skin (after making minor changes) and renaming to the missing file to fix the problem.

It worked but I have no idea what the real skins looked like and the program I used can alter some of the color balance and save as a ".DDS" file in "JPEG" format. However, it does not allow me to actually change each pixel. If these files are really "JPEG" files with the extensions changed, then I can make the needed changes for the missing files.

Has anyone else had the problem with missing "Skins"?

Still seems you've done something wrong. No such problem for me.
