Has this ever hapened to eny of you....? The other one is barely holding.
Man those cd's were used once to often I must of deleted and reintaled this game at least 60-70 times as years have gone bye..I even loaned the to a frind wich brought them back scrached and in a bad shape but they still woerked. now no matter what I do it refuses to work heck I only had them for about 2 years but still..!
Does enyone know were I can dowload a FS2 game because I dont have the money to pay 100$ + taxes for new ones.

In fact, I advise making several. I made three. :p

Post by: MeekGeek on November 05, 2004, 09:04:05 am: I haven't owned the game that long, but the first thing I did do was burn myself a copy and lock the orignals away safely. They have only been used once by me :D

I spent a fair amount of time hunting on e-bay etc. for a sensibly priced copy of FS2, in the UK ( so shipping wasn't a problem ) and STILL ended up paying as much for a used copy as I would for a new game! Oh well.....

But, as far as I am concerned, for the cost of 3 blank discs, my originals will be safe forever :)

It's why I use no-cd patches..... I have had discs crack before!

Post by: MatthewPapa on November 05, 2004, 11:44:11 pm: Dude, just burn the ISO's CD images to a CD!
Or do you not have a CD burner?
If you dont, download WinRar (www.download.com) and you can use winrar to extract all fo the contents from each ISO to a folder one folder per ISO). Run the main installer (CD1) and when the installer asks for the next cd's location, just type in the location you extracted the cd's files.

Or is it that you have 56k?
If it does, well, that really sucks.

Post by: karajorma on November 06, 2004, 03:45:45 am: Don't use winrar. Using Dameon tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/portal.php) you can mount the ISO files as if they were a real CD drive. Your computer won't be able to tell the difference between the ISOs and real CDs that way.
