Hey people,

I left the FS2 community several months ago because my computer could not handle the game. The FPS were terrible, and it was no fun.

I was surprised to find out that I got a new computer! The specs are:

Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.0 GHz
1 GB of memory
128 MB ATI Raedon 9800 Pro
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
16x DVD Drive
48x CD-RW

Not bad.

ANYWAYS-Back to the question

Question: Can a single player drive any ship with 3 primaries and 4 secondaries? It would be very fun to drive a ship like that.

I'm sure this question has been talked about severa times; please do not flame at me. Thanks.

Umm...yes, but it'd need to be a modded ship. And the term is generally "fly" not drive

[diamondgeezer]

Military types would probably say 'drive'.

IIRC, there's been some fuss about more than two primaries due to the problems with linking. I personally could use five or even six secondary slots to represent the weapon pylons on my SA-43s and B-290s

[Lightspeed]

In FS2 retail, you cannot have more than 2 primary weapons or more than 3 secondary weapons.

With SCP those limits do not apply anymore. I'm not sure what limits the SCP has got, though.

[fs2freak88]

But why does FRED 2 Limit the primaries to 3 and the secondaries to 4? How do I get them to be more than that?

[diamondgeezer]

Because the SCP coders do not like to modify FRED2, as the code is apparently rather horrendous. To make the modifications you want, you will have to manually edit the mission file in Wordpad

[fs2freak88]

The weapons don't show up. It boots back to the desktop saying "Exceeded # of Primary (or Secondary) banks" HELP!!:confused:

[Lightspeed]

maybe youre wanting too much, try 3+5 i think that should work.

[fs2freak88]

I just want to drive with 3 primaries and 4 secondaries...it still wont work. Any advice?

[Taristin]

...I dun think it's implemented as such for a player ship yet...

[aldo_14]

Think it needs hud art changes, in particular.

[phreak]

HUD art, weapons select screen GUI, AI

[Taristin]

AI?

Copy from some shivan ships?

[IceFire]

AI wouldn't really be a problem....its the rest that is.

Proper terminology is fly rather than drive.  You don't drive a fighter...you fly it.
