    Yesā€¦. yes it is šŸ™‚ you need 1.1 to work with consoleā€¦ and almost every other Adoxa extensionā€¦ patching wont hurtā€¦ as long as you using a fresh copy with no mods (or user made additions).

    Thereā€™s nothing wrong with Vistaā€¦ these days anywaysā€¦

    The problem lies in most users not taking the time to get familiar with the OSā€¦ and its hotkeysā€¦ ect, Not digin on ye, Its just a pure fact!

    In factā€¦ Iā€™ve had next to no ā€œmajorā€ problemsā€¦ apart from the odd game not being supportedā€¦ and lazy devs not willing to patch old games to workā€¦

    So my advice would be spend a few hours making your PC do what ā€œyou want it to doā€ disable UAC & install 3rd party Antivirus/Firewall software, get to know whats going to bug you & disable it.

    & most importantā€¦ kill the widgets & stuff that will certainly chew up cycles & pop up at bad times (games, apps ect) & Update EVERYTHING!!

    reminds me on the Station Network communityā€™s freelancer section. was the most active modding related section there although the information in the tutorials was pretty outdated and short but cool gentlemen with good connections to the starport and stuff. strange that not all of them are here now or that there is not a second community to the German modder with that large amount of information and support with experienced modders. kinda modding school. an idea that has to be kept in mind. to recruit newcomers quickly and successfully. lots more fun than playing the game^^

    Okay. Well, thanks anyways. I guess I got a little carried away, and didnā€™t back it up. I was just changing one small thing, and it didnā€™t even have to do with my ship, so I thought it wouldnā€™t mean anything.

    Sorry but it seems youā€™ve never used a forum before.

    1. Weā€™ve got a search function. You should use it before creating a new topic.
    2. Use proper topic names. Noone knows what your topic about when you call it ā€œHow2ā€.

    There is one thing to know - if hostiles become only just white (-3) on the rep graph, they will still randomly decide to attack you. You need to get them down to less than -2.5 to be safer.

    In vanilla FL, by destroying three of the Police storage canisters near Newark Station and letting the NPCs destroy you, you can be almost entirely neutral in Liberty.

    Not exactly like this:
    I was playing Fallout 3 about 2 months ago and I was having massive stuttering problems on their cutscenes; but I had to re-encode all the Bink and Smacker videos from 1024 x 768 down to 640x480 and everything worked. Iā€™ve had some issues installing old games but if I can get them to install they usually work perfectly. FL was the first one to really cause this problem; every 3-6 months Iā€™ve had a hard crash but that was typical windows crap that Iā€™ve dealt with ever since I got a Win 95 machine 10-15 years ago

    Iā€™ve never run into this constant Hard Crash issue before, even on older games like Baldurā€™s Gate 1/2/ToB or Icewind Dale 1/2. Though being able to fly around in space no problem and only having the freezing occur when I was docked and not in the more intense 3D environment was a little odd to me. I wouldā€™ve figured if things were going to go nutty it wouldā€™ve been in the 3D environment, not in the minor cutscenes and FMV sequences on bases and battleships, hell it even froze in the middle of me buying oxygen to trade at one point. So I figured it might be something like the old gold box games where you can run them in windows but they will crash out almost instantly because your processor runs them too fast and they error out (Iā€™m sure the cause is much more complex than that Iā€™m just not 100% on why they crash like that).

    Link back to the topic URL previously given, please. You might also want to visit it, as it has more complete instructions. Apart from moving the files to the right location, you will only need to remove the semicolon after one of the 5:4 headers (depends which camera you decided to use).

    Well thank you alot guys. I got the trails behind my engines, but still, I cant launch the pirahna, even when I swap the backup file of engine_equip with the old one. The trails is the most important thing I wanted, so thankyou alot šŸ™‚ Iā€™ll experiment more with changing engines laterā€¦ Now gonna have some fun with freelancer. Thanks again

    EDIT: I got it how to change engines and to enable engine trails. Im also better expierinced with the ini files. Everything is working fine now except for the piranha. I just had to rebuy the piranha and overwrite the savegame to let it work (with the correct engine).

    Just wondering, how could you make another vaportrail on the top fin of the piranha? Itā€™s a quite big bug that there is only one vaportrail at the bottom. I gues you have to make a node with UTF editor or something.
