i didn't even know that a new series was being made - i do now and it looks fabulous.

trouble is i hate prequels as u know that he is going to survive and one day be the admiral.

still looking forward to the new year when the series comes to my tv

after our casual chat in game yesterday, an idea was born - or did you have this advert in mind all along??

very enterprising, good luck in making your fortune

don't be put off by little setbacks, it is well worth persevering to complete the new campaign as it will give u new locations to explore when u come over to MP.

enjoy

yes i remember chatting to you in game. problem is that it was not fixed with the reset and as a consequence loads of players are being kicked today and in the main they are not returning.

thought i should let people know through this forum is all

cheers

Ray OK

several players have been kicked this morning, and yesterday all day. i suspect it is something to do with a trading commodities bug where if you buy commodities then leave, you are kicked from the server.

i was warned about this yesterday, by an online player, which saved me a load of grief. i have tried to warn players today, but several are not returning. at present there are only two other players besides myself online.

are you guys in authority aware that there is a problem on the server????

cheers

i am drooling at the prospect of an Elite sequel. i played the original Elite on a Spectrum then the sequel on the Atari 512.

David Braben sounds a lot more positive than the other guy hawking the prospect of a new game. at least these ideas have merit and a release date is mentioned. can't take too much notice of that though, release dates on games a notorious for their delays.

with this one though, i live more in hope than expectation. maybe it is the cynic in me, it never used to be that way. we change as we get older LOL

@ R@F1

thanks for the tip about CCleaner. it looks to be a neat little programme. have just downloaded it and will let you know how i get on with it.

cheers

Ray OK

i hate to say it, but, with all the stuff i have read about all this, the more i think this is all an elaborate con. i do hope not, but there you go.

the trade routes that NucNuc was talking about change daily.. it is what they call a dynamic trading system. CF site resets all trading commodities and prices on a daily basis. but as was said earlier, trade routes can be found and u can make quite a bit of credits even from starting from new.

i should mention, this also happens in the SP games when u load the launcher to start off with.

hope this clears things up for you

cheers

i also had problems with windows 7 64bit on my laptop computer. my windows 7 32bit is not a problem but the laptop gives me a load of troubles,

have u gone into properties/compatability?? and make it compatable with windows XP service pack 2 ???? i did that when installing FLMM1.3 ,,, mod 1.9 and basically everything to do with FL

as i said, the 32bit machine is ok, but i still have troubles with the 64bit laptop, but that is another story.

hope u get it sorted, it is an incredible server for FL players.

good luck

Ray OK

best wishes to you. RL work is the higher priority, so don't neglect it.

i did wonder where you were hiding. take care

cheers

Ray OK

again i apologise.

i am colour blind and didn't see the sub-menu's under the white underline for the various categories like tools, users etc.

anyway, the answers to my post about the bug, smack of sarcasm, so i am done with the topic

u can close it, delete it or do whatever.

cheers

Ray OK

sorry, i didn't give enough information. i was on multiplayer, my character was/is Ray_OK and i am flying a pup 111.

what is the ticket system please, i thought i had reported in the proper forum

Ray OK

have just read an article concerning the ticket system. it say go to "tools" on the main page. i did this but the tab is underlined and not available to me, as are several of the tabs there.

am at, or was at, westpoint NY. when buying commodities, except for engin parts top of the list, you actually get the commodity above it,

when selecting buy for pharmaceuticals, i crash to desktop without a pointer. all other commodities bought is the one above the one selected - if that makes sense.

i have done this several times to confirm.

Ray OK

well the server reset has cured the problems with my chars, so all is good with the world.

cheers

Ray OK

i also have had this problem on occasion. the only way that i overcame it was to uninstall all references to FL the FLMM, and any game files.

then do a clean install of 1st, Freelancer plus your no CD patch, 2nd FLMM, 3rd the 1.9 mod then finally activate the mod. it is a pain having to go through everything again, but in the end when the mod works it is well worth it.

hope all goes well for you, please let us know how you get on.

cheers

Ray OK

from my own experience the site and the server where down for long periods, both yesterday and today - this morning and afternoon.

i must admit that i have been quite surprised that it hasn't been mentioned until your post.

still it is up now, so all is good???

cheers

Ray OK

thanks NucNuc, a font of knowledge and helpfulness, as usual.

also i was on 13 posts and had to get rid of that number quickly, hence this one, but the sentiments above are genuine.

cheers

Ray OK

well my 3rd char has gone the way of the others, so i guess i will have to wait until tomorrow afterall. dare i ask - what time does the server reset???

cheers

Ray OK

on two of my chars - Ray_OK pup111 freighter and RayOK_VHF redemption very heavy fighter - if i buy cargo from any planet/station the server kicks me when i try to leave. my other char - RayOK_freighter - is ok.

the other day i read on the forum about autobuy being bugged, so on the two affected chars i changed them back to autobuy off. could this be the problem??

cheers
