    A request for moderators

    Last I checked this was the Privateer Remake forum. On the forum index, its subheading is "Discuss the Wing Commander: Privateer Remake project."

    Thrustmaster Fox 2 Pro POV Hat

    I would say using the TM software would probably be a lot more user freindly than poking around in the config file. What exactly are you expecting the HAT to do? What do you want it to do?

    on transitioning to RF...

    Armada was turn-based strategy. When your forces clashed with the enemies, you had the option of flying ships in the battle, ala typical WC combat, or you could let the computer figure out a statistically likely outcome. There was also a "gauntlet" mode where you flew threw 15 levels on either...

    map?

    Shift+M brings up the in-flight computer. You can see a map and your status with other factions. You cannot revise a mission's parameters, as those parameters are not up to you; they are up to whoever is paying you to complete their assignment.

    I can't get out of software screen?

    Right clicking cycles through all avaialble screen hotpoints, for future situations. :)

    Palan missions problems

    During testing I thought the Demons were hard. I also was able to complete the privateer storyline - I did it in a Centurion and in a Demon, and it was not significantly harder in the Centurion. Perhaps the problem is that all of the testers have higher than average Privateer skills...

    I think after hearing the congratulations speech, I just clicked on Terell again, and got the credits.

    Privateer Remake 1.0 - Bugs

    Landing on Jolson after getting the Steltek gun but before completing the Goodin missions results in the start of Righteous Fire. The egg also still follows you around, blowing up the world willy nilly.

    fuel - for Shutterbug

    Just because someone is tired of something (and I am too) doesn't mean threads that seem inocuous should get locked without explanation. There are many new visitors in this forum, and they should be treated nicely, not shoved out in the cold.

    on transitioning to RF...

    Right, that's the problem. Jumping immediately to RF eleiminates a part of Privateer gameplay.

    fuel - for Shutterbug

    Shutterbug posted in a locked thread: I 'm sure there is. This is open source software, and I'm pretty sure Spirit has given the Drayman in WCU fuel for 10 jumps. Why was this thread locked with a simple "No."? It doesn't break forum rules. It is not inflammatory. There is nothing wrong...

    map?

    http://home.iprimus.com.au/Wedge009/Priv/Bases.html That is the original Privateer in-game map; I don't think there is any arguing with it. To buy maps in the Remake, go to the ship dealer, the enter the upgrades room, then enter the software booth. Maps of each quadrant are available, as...

    Palen missions: Which demon?

    It's not one Demon you have to kill. It's all of them. The fact that Kilrathi happen to be there is a limitation of the remake right now. In the original, random AI appearances were disabled at plot-related waypoints. In the Remake, they are not, and so sometimes you see things like those...

    Missile Slingshot bug

    Oh crap. Damn you, conservation of energy. I humbly concede; generally my physics arguments are not against other physicists. Generally they are right, too. :) And I did the exercise myself, like a good physicist. You're right, of course. I seem to recall screwing up this same problem in high...

    exploratory service people??

    When you put the two artifacts together, you could see a map of Gemini. The important part of the map was shown as being "up" and "left" of Palan. Head that way until you can't anymore.

    Where can i enter my callsign

    The page 10 screenshot is out of date; there was a new splash screen included in the 1.0 release. That is irrelevant, however, as that is simply a picture grabbed from the origanl game, and not a menu (i.e. the buttons aren't actually buttons). You have no callsign in the Privateer Remake...

    Missile Slingshot bug

    Of course it would. Conservation of momentum states that the sum of the system's mass-velocity products is the same before and after a collision: M = mass of ship (assume 10000 kg) V = velocity of ship (speed of ship, I'll keep this scalar) m = mass of box (assume 10 kg) v = speed of box...

    Speedy bug

    General troubleshooting tip: - game works - you do X - game no longer works Hmm, what to do...? :) I would try undoing your repair droid edit and see if the problem goes away. It's a good first step.

    ITTS bug?

    I'm guessing that's just how it looks. Your guns shoot in a straight line, no expections. If your shots curved, you would never miss. Autotracking misses if your target changes direction and there is enough distance between you and your target.

    Missile Slingshot bug

    I'm not going to argue physics here indefinitely. Simply put, and assuming both objects are elastic and indestructible, if an relatively heavy object hits at relatively very light object, the relatively very light object will go shooting off into oblivion. This isn't a bullet hitting a bus...
