As these q’s are not related to gameplay as such I hope they belong here. If not I appreciate if a mod could move it.
Do MS Combat Flight Simulator 2 (CFS2) addon work in MS Combat Flight Simulator 3 (CFS3)?
can the planes and scenery from CFS3 be imported into Flight Simulator 2002?
If memory serves, yes to all.
However, as for importing aircraft into FS2K2 from the CFS series, you lose the weapons.
If the answers is yes then some specific questions :
I bought Vietnam Air war, which is an addon for CFS2. When I try to install it it looks for the CFS2 directory. AS I dont have CFS2 I point it at the CFS3 directory. It still wont install, repeatedly asking for the CFS2 directory. Any ideas as to what I can do?
How do I install the original planes and scenery for CFS3 into Flight Sim. 2002?
Sorry pal. For specifics like that I am definetly not the person to ask. I’d really recomend you try AVSIM or SimHQ. You’ll run into more simheads there than here.
Hmm, wild guess here: Maybe try temporarily renaming the directory to whatever the old version was? It probably won’t work when you go to start if there are hardcoded links that want a specific directory, but its worth a shot.
of course your best bet is to send an email to the company and ask, it may be something as simple as changing a config file.
One other thing, is there an import/export function when you install the new program? Does it automatically grab the installs from CFS2? If so install 2, add the patch, then upgrade.
