Forward Firing turrets


These files allow the turrets to fire forward on the following ships:

Falcon		\Freelancer\DATA\SHIPS\CIVILIAN\CV_ELITE

Eagle			\Freelancer\DATA\SHIPS\CIVILIAN\CV_VHEAVY_FIGHTER

Valkyrie		\Freelancer\DATA\SHIPS\RHEINLAND\RH_ELITE

Titan			\Freelancer\DATA\SHIPS\PIRATE\PI_VHEAVY_FIGHTER

Hammerhead		\Freelancer\DATA\SHIPS\BOUNTY_HUNTER\BH_VHEAVY_FIGHTER


I either moved the turret to a new location and/or allowed it to fire 360 degrees.  The Saber works out of the box.  The Falcon worked but the turret was mounted upside down.  There may be other ships with turrets that only fire backwards but the AI likes to ping at you with the turret as you chase it.  The one gun just is not enough to save it from your pursuit.  

Very heavy fighters should have 7 forward firing guns and heavy fighters 6.

I talked to Microsoft about this but they were only concerned if it effected the main story.

To install, just replace the original files with the ones provided in their appropriate folders.

Be sure to back up your old folders first.  

I provided these files for your enjoyment and I can not support them and can not be responsible for their use.

Enjoy,

Reggie Stein
