  • Hardcore Freelancer Mods

    Quote from "Gieseke_Nobler"

    I have spent thousands of hours playing Freelancer and then moving onto Freelancer Mods.


    If i may ask what exactly did you do in all those Freelancer hours and then some even more. Freelancer doesnt seem to me a very content rich game. Did i miss a hidden galaxy full of stuff?

  • Strongest enemy faction? (level, exp)

    Rollover text is what shows up when the cursor is on an object.


    ok this is what i have done:
    1. started game with J:\flhack\flhack.exe uewpjoCh
    2. Orbit, entered mouseflight mode
    3. targeted gate(description text showed)
    4. exited mouseflight mode(rollover text showed)
    5. clicked the cruise subbutton under the freeflight button
    6. immediate game shutdown


    flhack and freelancer are in different folders if that matters...

    Sorry for the delay, cba to start Freelancer. Battlecruiser Millennium got me.


    -Is it the button in particular, or does it happen with the key?
    I dont understand, but Both (goto and bound cruise key)


    -What about the Cruise buttons (both Freeflight and Goto), or key?
    Both, that is i cant select the CruiseGoTo one as it shuts down before that.


    A particular target selected, or any target?
    with or w/o selected target shuts down.


    rollover text, that show up okay (which is where you'd expect sector first to crash)?
    i dont understand.


    No matter what the game just shuts itself down. Id suspect a wrong applied patch maybe. Why does it says 1.0, if i patched with both 1.1 and 1.4. I did a search on that matter and it appears im not the only one with this problem. Dunno if it matters.


    If it helps, Frelancer also crashes on start if clicked on "apply" in flhack, this time with an error message:

    Sure. "Sector letter first" option causes that one here. Works ok w/o.
    works: flhack.exe upjoCh
    crashes: flhack.exe uepjoCh


    can do everything, but game closes instantly when entering cruise speed(sorry was wrong earlier), that is pressing the GoTo button. No error message. Version is vanilla freelancer patched to 1.1, patched to 1.4. Gamescreen shows 1.0. No mods.



    Camping right now near Tau37 gate in Omicron Alpha, killing Outcasts, then going to Malta to resupply. Funny. Although they slowly are starting to dislike me. +800k loot, -20k bribing cost. (forgot to buy 5th and 6th Kraken, daaamn)

  • Manuvers?

    to pull off some of the real world air combat flight maneuvers


    Is the emphasis here on "real world" or "flight maneuvers"? If second, then all those are already present in the game. Called Reverse Thruster. What all those do is using air resistance to rapidly change direction, in Freelancer a pilot can use RT to do the same thing, that is to deaccelerate to zero within seconds.


    If first, dont think so, lack of atmosphere, and ship design would prohibit it. You can pull it off anyway. Hitting RT+90deg turn to top, then thruster+90deg turn back to normal. Here is the Cobra. The Kulbit: RT+360deg turn.


    Note: Thinkin about it, Han Solo did a Kulbit in Episode 5. Lando Calrissian did an Immelmann's. :D


    Edited: whoops i thought it was a recent post... sorry.

    Heck, this seems like quite a useful program, thanks. Gonna try the higher paying jobs. GMGs? Best i saw were lvl15 Eagles in Omicron Beta. Anyway ive flown around the galaxy and found no higher level, short of corsairs. Sitting right now in Outcast's capital and cant decide whom to aggro. Inclining to fight Outcasts, but they have so useful allies. Scan shows Outcasts lvl18 Sabres having lvl10 graviton shields btw :eek:

  • FPS in game

    dudes. Laptops have LCD displays, which have max 60fps. Maybe the laptop is forcing VSync. Laptops do a lot of strange things. Not that it significantly matters anyway. The game could render 10000fps, the max you'd get is still 60, no matter what the counter says.

  • Strongest enemy faction? (level, exp)

    What are the hardest ships to fight againt.(other than the aliens) Fighting lvl3 Dagger Rookies in New York is no fun. I've seen packs of lvl18 Ace Sabres in the Outcasts sectors. But are there any better?


    Is this predefined? Im max level, but things in Liberty sectors still treat me like im lvl1.
