I have 2 problems.

1.  the videos play at the appropriate point in the original campaign, but they immediate drop me to windows when they're done.  I then have to turn off the vids (-dnoshowvid) in order to continue the campaign.  Then I turn them back on once I advance one mission.  Is there a way to fix this?

2.  I cannot figure out how to beat the mission where the juggernauts make that star go super nova.  Everytime i get into the jump node, hit alt-J... then the video starts and i have to replay the mission.  Ive done the mission like 8x already.  Any ideas?

1) I got this too. Are you playing with the altered cutscenes.tbl as well? If I remember correctly though you don't have to faf around with the -dnoshowvid flag. The second time you play the mission the cutscene will work perfectly. I suspect that this might be a bug due to FS2 trying to add the cutscene to the list of ones you can play from the techroom.

2) Ummm. That is the end. You won! [V] left the final mission open so you could see the other ending if you don't make it out in time.

Lol, that is the last mission. You either die () or get out. To actually get out (without cheating) you need some serious kick-ass piloting skillz.... but its possible....

Either that, or you have to sit in the node and let your wingmen and Trebuchets do all the hard work......err.....but what kind of skill-less loser would do that?  ..................  Stop looking at me...

Seriously, as the mission progresses, the fight gets further and further away from the node, to the point where you either have to abandon the final convoy and make it out of Capella alive or try to defend it and burn in the supernova.

You don't actually have to do anything in the last mission. You could just sit inside the node for 10 minutes and when command tells you to bail, jump out.

Hello Marv the n00bie. I get the same error with the video player not restoring FS2, but everyone ignores me when I ask about it.

As for the final mission, make sure you're blasting towards the node by 11 and a half minutes with all the speed you can wring out of your engines and you usually make it. If you're good you'll just have enough time to save the four Argo transports from the Seraphim before you bug out, though of course they just get barbecued anyway... still, us pilots have our pride

Ummm. Guys. I think Marv already finished the mission

He just didn't realise that it was the last one

Hey, I like telling pilots stories OK? Get off my case.

[magatsu1]

am I the only one who thinks V just ran out of ideas/time/money with the ending ?

[Unknown Target]

You probably are

[magatsu1]

well I thought the ending was bobbins anyway.
