Hmmm, It seems i`ve been using an inferno build that works fine, but when I tried the fs2open_r build that came with the release the game crashed on the mission loading screen.. I won`t go as far to say its just the build causing the problem, but it may be a little of both the model and the build... Everything else seems to works fine with the install build..
I`m going to extract the Drakh cruiser from the vp and take a closer look at it.
Could it be the FOV on the main beam turrets is to narrow?
I`m thinking the FOV has no bearing, but i`ll try anything once. But that wouldn`t make the game crash, to my knollage.
(edit) Ok FOV on turrets 01a and 02a is 40 and 60 on the rest of the single part turrets. 40 is a little narrow, but it would still fire.. And the B5 team had good reasons for setting it at that value, probably to keep it from firing through it self, thats good enough reason for me
