Title: Autopilot problem
Post by: k19 on April 19, 2009, 05:22:32 am

Ok, this could be an option problem (i must have done something very VERY stupid for this to happen).
Instead of having a nice smooth autopilot flyby camera, i get something which looks like the time compression was turn up to the top and it watches me until a reach the nav point.
Also the escort ships (Transports, Capships) end up more than 15000m from the nav point.
I've try this on many different campagins and they all do the same so i think it could be an option problem.
Please help this has made heaps of missions unplayable.

Uh, isn't auto pilot more of a Wing Commander Saga thing?

In fact, wasn't it built for wing commander saga only to begin with?

I don't know but it appears that a few FreeSpace campaigns uses it e.g. Twist of Fate demo.

I have something new:
This problem doesn't occur on one of the older builds of FreeSpace open 3.6.10 (fs2_open_3_6_10-20071007T)
