Not sure what TIR_attack is, but it isn't required to play the game

It's a program someone here linked to to help get TIR working in a few troubled games, CFS3 being one of them. That's the program that spit out that stuff about reading memory.

There's another guy I found here running into almost the exact same problems as I am without any of the software known to cause problems. I've tried to contact him but haven't heard back. If we can find whats similar between our systems, maybe the problem can be narrowed down to what is causing it.

I found settings for Data Execution Prevention for windows, which prevents programs from getting into memory. I thought I had it nailed adding TIR to the exceptions, but to no success.

This is insane and unusual. And is made all the more difficult because CFS3 is a game with a small group playing it and the developers don't care about supporting it anymore. Without even dot tracking, CFS3 (or any flight sim) is utterly unplayable.

Do you guys have the capability/time/resources to try and duplicate problems? Or would it be possible to talk with the person who programmed how TIR works with CFS3? They might know something about how the programs and hardware are interfacing that could be helpful.

Unfortunately CFS3 is on the list of things to look at, with the development team (Vista issues), but is not at the top of the chart.

Have you tried going with a clean install of CFS3?

Yes my friend,They do not care and or have the time and money to go back and fix older games.I sent a track Ir back because it would not work in CFS3. CFS3 is a super game with tons of add ons to use,also IL2 is a good one.
