Reverse thrusters? As in, moving backwards or slowing down?

I wonder if he means afterburners.  Which would mean that he isn't running in compatability mode.  Open the properties pane for the executable and change the compatability mode to Windows98/Me and see if that fixes whatever your problem is.

The problem is in the code for FS1 itself. If compatability mode doesn't work you're stuck with getting FS2 and playing the port on it I'm afraid.

(Or getting a Mac or Unix box and playing the retail FS2 port which also plays FS1).

As far as I know, you can't move backward, right?:confused:

Shivan ships have the ability to slide (left, right, up, down) and to reverse.  Terran and Vasudan ships don't, but in theory they could.  To enable this function on Terran and Vasudan ships, one needs to do the following:[list=1]

Hmm, that last point you made holds some potential.  Just think of it...Descent vs. Freespace :D

I wonder whatever happened to Nicos Descent mod.  IIRC he had all the models done, but never any FREDers.

I still have the converted models lying around, but my lack of knowledge of table files prevented me from trying them out in-game.  It's a pity that no one ever converted the "D4" Pyro-GX over; it's a real beauty.

i've given Terran craft reverse thrusters before, it's very easy. especially lateral thrusters.

*resisting urge to make reverse thrusters at 100 m/s :nervous:*

And this (http://www.planetdescent.com/asp/potd_view.asp?potdid=568)  is the "D4" Pyro-GX model.  God, I'd love to see this thing going toe-to-toe with a Herc :D
