I was going to attach screen shots of the asteroid last night but I forgot to convert them to .jpg.  By the time I did and came back to edit the message HLP was doing it's weekly backup.    Here's what I am seeing on the asteroid.  asteroid1 asteroid2 asteroid3  I didn't manage to capture one where most of the asteroid shows up for a split second. 

I figured there would be some kind of blob, question mark, or something for the unknown.  Can't remember what was in FS2.  If I wasn't debugging missions I would never even bother to click on them.

No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

Just made the table changes and tried the BI x-ray beam in a dogfight.  Worked fine except for one small detail.  No red screen damage flash on client side when player hit.  Client still gets the screen shutter and damage just not the redish screen for a split second.

Change the number to something between 65 and 120 (the default).

bugfixes and multiplayer.   that's it. The game is already done (from a content point of view)

so... no cockpits :(

Well, I suppose one can always access the settings and twist the gamma down a notch. But... that just isn't pretty anymore.

Though there is, of course, -spec_static. I use 1.5 which seems reasonable.

I think you're missing the point. Darkestone found the game too dark and wanted to make it lighter. Turning off ambient lighting would make things worse.
