totally fixed the problem… thank you adoxa, much appreciated!

dang you’re good. It is in x86. I’ll reinstall tonight and see if that fixes the problem. thanks a ton!

That is some Eagle, lol. I’d like to work a little harder this first time through.

Only have the one fresh install so I don’t think there could be two copies of that file. This is an odd mystery!

Sorry to be asking such a basic question. After being away for many years I got the FL bug again so dropped in the CD, loaded the game and started playing. I decided to re-familiarize myself I’d do a quick play through of the SP campaign. Back when Freelancer was new I did a TON of modding for it – but all for multiplayer servers. So getting to my question, is there something in the campaign that keeps basic weapon_equip.ini tweaks from being implemented? I wanted to give myself a slightly better set of starting guns to get through the early dogfights faster so I upped some of the stats - [Munition] hull_damage - on the Justice Mk I (li_gun01_mark01). Loading the game I found it had no effect. Tried a couple of the other low level guns and the same thing – none of my changes were showing up in the SP campaign.

I’m sure I’m forgetting something basic here. Any help from you pros would be greatly appreciated! Hope to be meeting you out there on some of your servers soon.
