Strange Ship Behaviour in Fight

    Hey guys, after several years i just reinstalled freelancer and crossfire 2.0 on win10.

    I´m playing in SP at the moment and everything just ran fine and smooth until i started the first bounty in freeroam.

    I just used the "F2" command to fly to my waypoint for hunting down some pirates. I left the travel mode, switched to mouseflight and started my fight.

    It run pretty well until my ship started to get a mind at its own, wobbling through space during my flightmaneuvers or even worse just started to ignore any of my commands.

    So far i´ve figured out that this is some kind of problem with my ship and the waypoint marking my mission area.

    Entering free-flight or other modes doesn´t disturb this strange behaviour and the only thing i haven´t tried was to delete the waypoint if this is even possible because of its nature as a bounty mission waypoint.

    I´ll soon let you know if this got me rid of my problem.

    Until then my only question is:


    Is this a known issue or am i the first/only one discovering this?


    Have a good flight freelancers and thanks for your help in advantage :thumbsup:

    Hello DarthPhantom and welcome!


    From your description it seems like the Free Flight button ought to be the solution.

    But here are a few more tips to try:

    - press Space again (maybe mouse control mode has deactivated),

    - make sure you didn't press H (turret mode) during fight,

    - make sure rotation is disabled (look in Options -> Controls for the key).


    Hope this helps.

    Thank you Wanderer,

    turning off rotation did it for me.

    But are you able to tell me what it does?

    Because i somehow really miss to barrel roll my ship and thought this would do it.


    Greetings

    Rotation will do a barrel roll. Here is how it works:

    1) launch to space and press Enable Rotation key once,

    2) press and hold Rotate Clockwise or Rotate Counterclockwise key.

    (Keys for these fuctions can be assigned in Options -> Controls)


    But there is a bug: if you dock with rotation enabled and later undock, rotation will not work and ship might go out of control sometimes. To fix that, just press Enable Rotation twice (to re-enable it) or once (to disable).


    Greetings :)
