Ship Axis, Trade Dist, Etc (several questions)

1. Use Auto-Level? Rolling can be accomplished with JFLP and Rotation Lock.

Alright I hate to sound like a complete noob, but I am to a point. I’m not sure what Auto-level and Rotation Lock are, or what JFLP stands for.

Basically what I’m aiming for is a ‘loose’ style of flying with the ship’s constraints, where at certain constraint/points of turning it might tilt/roll drastically, and when mouse flight is turned off (spacebar or letting off the mouse button) the ship will -not- right itself. Kind of like X3 TC.

Ah, danken. Gives me a good place to start.

Auto-Level is one of the existing keys you can define, after which you can turn auto-leveling off. JFLP is Jason’s Freelancer Patch, which creates the key definition for Rotation Lock and allows rolling during mouse flight (via keys, once Rotation Lock & Auto-Level are off, otherwise you just roll right back).

That’s exactly what I wanted. Thank you. There’s just one more issue regarding this: how do I make it to where the roll keys will work in mouse flight, or is that even possible?

Any questions on its use in FL… my PM box is always open

O.o Thanks a ton. Didn’t expect something so well ordered. I may take you up on the PM offer when I start working to implement this (want to get the system placement and ship handling first), but it seems pretty simple and self-explanatory.

How many do You want, pal?

I know, why would I want more than 300+ systems? I don’t. It’s more for aesthetic reasons, and I’d like to move a lot of the originals off the map since I’ve read that removing them can cause problems.

You can also use decimal places for systems, so 8.9, 11.3 is acceptable for instance. Crowded but working

If this is true, then you are a saint. Would be nice to have more accurate positioning.

Define keys for Auto Level and Rotation Lock and use them. You also need jflp.dll (installed as part of JFLP, you should see it in FLSpew.txt).

Okay, time for me to sound like a noob again, but I don’t see that text file. I do see the jflp.dll though (in the EXE folder). As for the keys, they are set, just doesn’t work in mouse flight for some reason. Have to turn off mouse flight, then rolling works. Turn it on again and nada. Unless I did something wrong, but it seems a pretty simple task.

Which brings up another question of how to set those two keys so they default as on? Or is that possible?

Thanks again for the help.

You’ll find FLSpew.txt in your “Local Settings\Application Data\Freelancer” folder (on XP, don’t know about Vista/7).

Ah, that was the problem. I grabbed the JFLP v1.0, but not the v1.1 dll. Works perfect now. +10 Adoxa

Last thing regarding this is the possibility of defaulting the Auto-level and Roll Lock as opposite as whatever they are now (which I assume is ‘on’ for Auto-Level and ‘off’ for Roll Lock) so that they keys wouldn’t even be needed. I.E. I want auto-level off and the rolling ability without the need for pressing the keys each time I log in. If this one’s to much hassle it’s fine. Just wondering if it’s possible since it would alleviate posting in a readme and hoping that people see the footnote.

Thanks again mate.

Alright, thanks again to all who posted. Everything above is working very nicely so far.

@Xarian_Prime The Starport PM system seems to be buggered (keep saying it can’t connect to the server, but as you can see the forums work fine), so I sent an email.
