Problem with Bearbaiting\High Noon
on: September 09, 2003, 02:53:47 pm
Hi there.

Okay i completed the Bearbaiting mission destroying all the Sathanas' beams (but no flak destroyed) but the Beleth escaped with two of its main beams destroyed. The Sobek corvette survived.

The problem is that FS2 with Open now crashes before the loading screen comes up for the High Noon mission with no error message (it crashed when i pressed the accept button to continue and now when i click the Psamtik ready room). I think this may be because i finished Bearbaiting with a rather unusual combination of events.

Can anyone give me a fix or a completed pilot 'cos i dont want to have to go all the way through the campaign again.

Thanks. And feel free to zap me with the beam.

P.S. Im using FSO 3.5.5 and my spec is:

p4 1.7, 512mb ram, GF4 Ti4200 128MB AGP 8x

did you start the campaign before you upgraded to 3.5.5? otherwise you need to make a new pilot file. we changed a bunch of it around between releases

I thought the mission failed if the Beleth escaped?

i made a new pilot after i installed 3.5.5 (it wouldnt work otherwise). The debrief says that although the Beleth escaped we must focus our effort on the Sathanas (although the fail music was played). It also praised me for taking out the turrets. I had failed this mission before by jumping out early but i could replay it. I think when i click ready room its trying to load high noon but getting invalid data from Bearbaiting.

Did you upgrade the original FS2.exe from 1.0 to 1.20? It has some mission fixes. Upgrade trought the launcher.

How is it POSSIBLE to fail to kill the Beleth?  Send one Helios at the near Beam turret (to protect the corvette) then fly above the Destroyer, turn to face the engines, and fly right between the fins as you send a twin-pack of Helios torps into its engines (which can be hit from the forward direction).  Then finish off its last big Beam cannon and pick it to pieces.

First time I did that mission, I tried to disable the Sathanas... damned hard to do, since it has five engines and each one can absorb four Helios torps quite easily.

And just a note about that mission it isn't terribly hard to destroy all four cannons and the flak guns. and actually they suffer heavy casualties due to the beleth getting through but  you don't loose the mission. You get heavily pounded for it.

ah- i tihnk its to do with FS2 not switching to the FRED debug window correctly- i think thats summat to do with the new rand sexp function but ill try alt-tabbing

I replayed the mission in simulator, took out the beams and took out the beleth (dead easy, just double helios its engines then keep rearming)

Stand down, Descenterace, not SuperCoolAi is the only one who has failed to destroy it before making subspace jump. I am between those few. :D
I(and probably SuperCoolAi) was engaged with destroying those exegeneratedly powerful flak and AAAs. Or any other weapons. I haven't counted the Beleth makes the jump.

Why don't you use FS_retail while playing the [V] campaign?
