Title: Missing Ships in the TechRoom
Post by: [Wolf]Maverick on June 08, 2006, 08:56:55 am

I just noticed that the most of the ships didn't appear in my techroom, i only see the ulysses, loki and some other fighters and capships but no Herc, Herc II, Orion or the most of the vasudans and shivans.
i switched pilots and campaigns but nothing changed, how can this happen?
I use the newest mediavps, and 3.6.9 Build. Since yesterday i use the 5.4 Launcher and i install the new HTL Apollo today
maybe this is a newbee question.. i'm sorry

In the techroom press F3 to see all the ships FS2is currently using, otherwise someone will lhave to add a techroom-add-all sexp,
Would that be a prob for scp guys?

Not really, i think there have been far worse, The F3 button isnt really Teh techrroOom but you can still view the ships. :yes:

It's not stupid at all in fact. If FS2_Open isn't showing you all the ships in the techroom that it should be showing you then it's a bug. The question is should it be showing you anything other than the ships you're seeing?

For the time being the best solution is not F3 but to press CTRL + SHIFT + S to display all the ships available from your tables in the techroom. The lab is great for it's job but displaying the discription of the ships is the whole purpose of the techroom.

F3 has it's temptation though :nod: You can view the ships from a big window and not the tiny techroom window, that lets you get up close and personal with them all you want. You can also access the tech descriptions from there. Another cool thing why F3 is better than the techroom. You should check out the render tab. It'll do stuff like show you were the dockpoints are on each ship, gunpoints, launchbay points, and even show you fighter shield bubbles. In other words, F3 is a lot more techie and offers what i consider vital and useful information about every single ship in fs. ;7 If you want that tempting extra in depth look at the ships, then push F3, it blows the techroom out of the ass ;7
