Ship Not Docking

[Dragnite_MU]

If you have an HP mount i suggest moving it around a bit till you find the optimum spot for it, we had to do this with some ships on MU.

You know… YOU made that WT_shiparch.ini file. Look at the SVN if you don’t trust me ;D

Well, what was it we’re all dying to know

[FriendlyFire]

Basically, it seems like Freelancer won’t read properly more than one shiparch INI file. The ships work fine, but they won’t dock… Moving the definition to the main shiparch file fixed the issue instantly.

I sometimes hate FL with a passion

ahhh well thats something else i’ll need to remember then

i got a ship with two thrusters in th ecmp, two in the shiparch and they wont work, cant see any valid reason for it, but thats fl for ya.

I suppose theres gotta be a reason, but i can’t find it anywhere

If you can mount 2 thrusters then the HPs are OK. If not then recheck the names you used and check the shiparch.ini entry.

If they are mountable but seem to have no effect, the usual reason is their thrust is not enough. If it’s a large ship with big mass then you will need lots of ooomph to see a difference in speed.

thanks startrader, it is a big ship, never added thrusters to a big ship before, so i didnt know this.
appreciated m8

yea, just make your thrusters 10000000000000 power and your set. ofc… once you do that and touch thrust, say good bye to Kansas.
