Crossfire Menu (F1) and Story Campaign

F1 is ( as far as I know) disabled whily in space.

You need to be docked to use it.

Kind Regards

Hey,

I've got two problems...first of all, I can't activate the menu while playing the game. I reinstalled crossfire and freelancer a couple of times but it's still not working. In the control settings it's set on (F1) which is standard and can't be changed but during the game it isn't working at all
The other thing is that I just played the whole Freelancer storyline three days ago. I looked for some kind of sequel afterwards and found crossfire. I installed it and realised that you've got to start aaall over again. I'm kind of tired flying around the New York system again...I used the search function on this board to find a solution and found out that it's impossible to skip the old storyline to get to the new one so I wondered if anyone has an old savegame? I don't need lots of money or whatever, I just wanna play the new storyline in SP. Hope someone can help!

Cheers

Hi there,

Strange, F1 works for me in space, ( in MP )

Also try Alt-F1, that may work, but don't use it in combat otherwise you will be fined and booted back to
your last dock save.( but i think thats just MP )

As for the extra mission, it would only take you a couple of hours to complete the original storyline to
reach it, so i suggest ignore some of the missions to get yourself a good VHF and then do the
storyline.
That would make it quicker to complete missions.
As for a save, sorry i don't have, but at least when you complete the storyline missions, you would have
mapped quite a bit of the Universe.
Good luck Pilot and Safe Flying.

Fair enough, sorry for that OP, just thought i'd help out someone here.
Still, you have the power to delete my post,

Didn't mean to tread on your toes bud.

banjo, that is because we cannot separate different game versions and files for Singleplayer and Multiplayer. There is the option to not get the online update from the server for SP playing, that, if CF can't connect to the internet.
Anyway in Singleplayer it's illogical to "save in middle of the space" (even though it has benefits) For MP it's logical for when you disconnect or such.

with other words... singleplayer mechanics are exactly the same as for the multiplayer
every change is done for both... anything else is not possible... and multiplayer always has priority

If it would be possible to do it in FLMM then we would have done that... but it is not.
And personally follow the principle to prevent that rules can be broken instead of observing all players 24/7 and punishing them afterwards.
if you want to pause the game then press the windows key... if you want to change options then dock somewhere... thats not so hard
