Hello everyone, I am new here to the forums.
Unfortunately I am having the exact same problem MT has described, namely, when I begin "Enter the Dragon", my ship has only 10 Interceptors and no guns! (none!)
Now here is the strangest part: if I play an old mission in the simulator, and select, say, "Gun A, Gun B, Missile C", for this mission, and then quit this simulated mission, then re-try "Enter the Dragon", I'll begin with A, B, and C!... so I have some ability to "over-write" the guns I'm able to start the mission with... but the major problem is, I can't find any prior simulated mission that lets me select the powerful disruptor, or the prometheus, because those guns aren't available in any mission up til now.
Should I just keep trying the mission repeatedly using a regular disruptor (via my "weapon over-writing" method), and try to disable Arjuna 1 that way? Because I have tried the mission this way many times and can't beat it... and something tells me this over-writing method is just going to make my problems worse in the long run (I don't want to have to do this for every mission past the Dragon one).
So I really need some help on how to fix this... but from all the discussion it sounds like my pilot file is corrupt
Unfortunately I do not have a backup of this file, I guess I now know to keep backups!!!!! (What is the pilot file even called anyway??)
Thanks for any info on this --- am new to Freespace and am enjoying the FSPORT greatly (even with this bug the game has been great).

Hmm, I had that recently, only in FS1 port with "Enter the Dragon". I had a older save file so all I did was to use the older one to get past it.
If the mission allows you to arm the wings, you can use the reset button to "repair" the error right?
