Very glad I found out about this place:D

From what I read this lets you fly EA fighters and with some sort of editor you can fly the Whitestar ?

Will other races' fighters also be editable and flyable ? Capital ships  the same ?

Are all the ships in the screenshots topic

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,25005.0.html

currently in the game or are people showing off their rather impressive skills for their own mods/missions ?

Thanks and sorry for all the noob questions.

Once again SOOOOOOOOOOO happy to find this game !!!!!!!!

There's a cheat mode in Raider Wars that lets you fly the whitestar. Or simply add the word -allslev the custom flags box in the launcher and go to the tech room>>flight simulator and all the missions for RW (apart from the first one possibly) will now let you fly all the fighters and the whitestar.

Flying capships in FS2 is incredibly boring. You can't choose what to shoot at. You can't choose when to shoot at it. You only get to fly about at 20-30 m/s letting the AI pick targets.
 The whitestar and other gunships being the exception of course

Yeah, kara is right. I made a FRED mission where you controlled an Omega. Not so great and if you take of damage you crash out of the game.

It's good for getting screenshots though.

And yes, all those ships in the screenshot section should be in game.

You can fly a Vorlon fighter though, or a Shadow one. The Shadow one is very bad. It's quick, but no after burner and a slow firing main weapon.

My favorite flyable craft are the Vorlon fighters, White Stars, Aurora and Thunderbolt starfuries.

I love the Thunderbolts default cannon

Well I mentioned this place to a friend who said he has had it for awhile and DIDN'T bother to tell me anout it. I'll fix him later but for now he buned me 3.0 and a 3.1 update. I see on the download page 3.2 is the current one. Is there an incrimental patch [ I hope ] in addition to the 261 meg  core 3.2 download on the download page ?
I  only mention it cause I have dialup that won't go over 31200 and can only tie the phone up late at night AND it disconnects 3 or 4 times a night so it will be a several day operation to get it.

In the meantime will the missions posted for download work with 3.1 ?

[Sigma957]

Probably not as there were new things added in 3.2, may I suggest you go to a internet place(friends,university,library etc)  that has broadband and allows you to burn programs to cd for a price and get 3.2, it would make things easier. If this is not an option you might have to look into some download programs like getright that allow you to resume downloads so you could download 3.2 but it will take awhile. I know what it was like doing huge downloads when I was on dialup and had to use download programs.

[SPOO]

Got a download manager looks like a 4 or 5 day operation.  While waiting I installed 3.1 and the versions of earth/mimbari war and raider war he had 2 I think. . I also got those small missions in the download section.

Are those small missions not supposed to work in 3.1 ? I put them in the data folder in a missions folder I created but they don't show up in single play and I don't know if they show up in multi cause it always crashes when I try to connect.

[aipz]

Movements in the mist will work
Ramius's 3 mission will also
mars defence force mission 1-2 also
mission pack 1 also
both TBP campaigns should
madaboutgames single missions which don't use B5 model

my dilgar war missions won't
as they are using ships from 3.2...
mars defence force mission convoy 348 also as in 3.1 there is no Narn space station...
also reflections and infestation campaign won't work as it uses extensively models from 3.2 (vorlons, shadows and drakh + B5)
the same goes for severed dreams
as well as survivor mode...

[SPOO]

I can't get multiplay to work yet to see what's there.
 Should all  the ones that work also appear in single play ?

Earth/Mimbari war and Raider war and Movement in the Mist show up in single play. I made a folder called misions in the data folder and extracted the others to there. Was that all I had to do ?

 Sorry for all the questions but MY GOD !     To fly around a Sharlin and Hyperion battling it out and dodge Sharlin beams !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I don't think I blinked for 20 minutes , just stared at the screen .

[Primus]

In the mission simulator, click the single missions to play them.

Multi missions won't appear there.

[Sigma957]

Yeh just put them in your data/missions folder and to play the ea/minbari war,select it in the campaigns.

Actually...I've found a way to rudimentary FRED around that - designating targets for your turrets is pretty easy, so is controlling when you shoot at it....

[SPOO]

Thanks ,that got it

Oh yeah you can do that but it's still going to be fairly boring. Target ship A, wait 3-4 minutes for it to die. Target ship B.

The only mildly amusing bit would be the AAA and even that sounds a little boring.

[SPOO]

Finally got  it !:D

Trying to get some of the missions now. Is there a certain way to use bittorrent ? I click on the downlad link and it keeps bring up an error page saying..........................
