Dodging the AAAf beams on the cruisers is key. If you can pop in and out of a beam turret's field of view before it can warm up, it won't be able to get a shot off and thus no damage. I think you might be able to dodge AAAf beams by careful afterburner timing, too.

Well, thanks to the advice, I passed it. I also realised that once you've destroyed the escort wing, you can sit out of range of the enemies, and watch the show. And I got a medal for it.

I'm currently on the covert mission after it. It's less hard.

(ALSO: something wrong with the orion: Bits missing from it)

If I remember the words of the guru's correctly, make sure -jpgtga is turned on and -img2dds is turned off in the launcher check boxes.

Yeah, that's right. I haven't been able to check it though.

Also: I'm starting to try multiplayer. I've used the SCP's guide to setting up multiplayer, and i've followed all the steps, but when I try to connect to the FS2DNet server, it fails. Any ideas why? I'm using a wireless network.

Try the guide I linked to in the gameplay section of my FAQ. Somethings may have been updated since the one on the SCP site was written.

Ah, it appears I require a multiplayer config file. Downloading.

[Fat Zombie]

Huh. It's working now, but every time I try, it times out while retrieving pilot data. 

Any ideas why? The internet works fine.

[Fat Zombie]

Hmm, something else. Sorry to bother you lot, but for some reason, now when I go to the briefing, weapons don't display their rate of fire, power usage, lock-on time, etc. Any ideas why?
