I still have two 
although only the burner is connected. The read-only drive is sitting in the bay, though, should I need to copy disc-to-disc.
So I dropped an opptical drive in and installed CFS3 but it won’t run at all. Any ideas? I have tried the compatibility for Xp service pack 3 without success
CFS3 is DX7 if I recall, or was it 8? It was the last version that didn’t support transparent water. I recall BF 1942 was one of the first which did.
Which OS are you running? I also recall there was an issue with some old games running on 64-bit OS. Not because of the game, which was itself 32-bit, but because a launcher or installer or something was coded in 16-bit which won’t run on a 64-bit OS.
I don’t know anyone who is still running CFS3 to even ask…

Which OS? I had ETO (mostly) running on my Win7 box a while back, though honestly it was an ugly, unstable mess.

Ahh I am windows 10 64 bit. I imagine it won’t look very good as it looked awful on release but from a nostalgia viewpoint it would have been fun to run it again. The hanger at the start was a huge leap forward and whilst I never got to try the MP options with multi crew I bet that was fun gameplay too. I built my wife a machine with Windows 7 and a core2duo chip. Might try on that
If all goes well, today I’ll try CFS3 on my win7 64bit rig and see what happens.

Got it running with the Firepower addon that I still had floating around on an external hard drive (it was a miracle that I found it). Still looks about the same, but it is exactly what I was wanting, a WW2 flight game that isn’t too hard, but isn’t an arcade chase-plane-view shooter. Used the .iso mount in Windows 10, worked like a charm. Thanks, guys.
