Hi all thanks to everyone who continues to make the old girl better..I fly WOTR and WOFF BHAH II+OTT expansion.

Iv'e just returned to have a nosy at CFS3 addons etc but im running into a concurrent issue. No matter what add-on i install i get a "Configuration Override file is out of date" message when using APPDATA files from the theatres im downloading. Just to add this issue doesn't occur with stock CFS3 .

Any help/advice would be most welcomed. Im literally at my wits end with this issue. Many thanks have a wonderful day. (y)
 
Hi Major thanks for the reply. Yes sir i have..I'll keep persisting cheers

Edit: managed to get it working but i have "lines" across the terrain a issue with something in the config file perhaps? thanks

After every new install, and after you have run MultiCFS3.exe to register the new install, you should always run the cfg.exe file to maximize the configuration. assuming that you have a good PC, then go to your AppData folder, find the relevant install folder, and change the ConfigOverrides.xml to what I believe is MajorMagee's version like this. Copy from <TextureLimits> down to the bottom. Above that. the only thing possibly to change is the line
<MultisampleType val="D3DMULTISAMPLE_4_SAMPLES"/>
