Compact or full installation?
How big is your pack? Do you want to carry
around your entire kit or go light and have
just the essentials? You can choose from these
installation options:
Compact Install: Installs the minimum number
of les needed, but yields slower performance.
Full Install (default): Installs all of
the les for the game and provides faster per-
formance.
When setup completes, you will be given
the option to customize your video conguration.
Normally you will want to keep the default set-
tings, but the conguration utility will warn
you if it has detected any incompatibilities
with your video card or your current drivers.
If you change your computer’s video card
or experience video problems, you can always
re-run the conguration utility from the Start
menu: click Start, point to Programs, point
to Microsoft Games, point to Combat Flight
Simulator 3, and then click CFS3Cong.
