OP doesn't like to copy. His work is original

Not 100% true, a lot of the different DK's ships in CF1.8 are taken from Freespace2.
OK, most out of the retail game with some changes to the textures, but there are also some ships already present in CF1.7 you can find in some FS2 mods like the cfbomber1.cmp, cffighter2.cmp, lightbringerbomber.cmp ( ships/Custom/CFships ).
These models were made by a guy called trashman on hardlightproductions ( http://www.hard-light.net/ ).
[SIZE=1]BTW, never seen some credits for him, or are they one and the same ????? [/SIZE]

Took the chance of the most recent update by server to have a look into some files:

As already stated before : CF1.8 is the best thing since ANY LancerSpaceGame has hit this planet.

Perhaps now some guys from the Freespace community might get on the task of transferring some Freelancer-stuff to the FSO engine.
It might then become possible to fly in the FL-universe with Joystick.

Easy solution to your problem :

just turn off your internet connection before you start the launcher and push the button single player.

As it seems, I'm doing quite the same as you: "adjusting " some bits and pieces to my very personal taste with editing some files ( .ini files, some .cmp files ).
I think you could call it "CHEATING", but as long as I play alone I think I can mod a mod as I like to.

One more tip : before you turn the internet on again to get the newest update via the crossfire server, make a back up copy of the files, you have changed.
After you've got the updates it doesn' take to much time to "readjust" to your personal modifications.

Thanks anyway.

Now that there are a lot new, AWSOME cockpits around ( not only in CF 1.8 ) I have a question about changing the cockpit view.

Most of the cockpitMODELs (cmp.files) are much bigger and more elaborate, than what I see ingame whwn hitting ctrl_V. And after having a look at the cmp.files I render this as a big lost.

Another thing, sometimes the cockpit covers more than 50% of the screen, reducing the fov in a way, that seems in my opinion a bit too much.

My question now: How can I edit/change the point of view I have when flying with cockpit view, the position of the pov IN the cockpit:
-elevating the pov
-setting the pov a bit further back the z-axis of the ship
things like that.

Every change I made to the camera.ini didn't change the LOOK of the cockpit I see.

Any Help available ?? ( Didn't founD a suitable thread here)

Little ship-bug

The LCA Typhoon (cfpericlese.cmp) shows ingame only nine of twelve engine flames but on the model (viewed with hardcmp) all engine hardpoints are in their proper place and the shiparch.ini calls also for twelve exhaust nozzles.

Thanks for the quick reply.

[SIZE=3]DEAR OP[/SIZE]

I'm playtesting on normal singleplayer with the now 3rd download from 08.01.10.

Just a suggestion:
perhaps you could post somewhere, perhaps on a extra thread, everytime when you have updated the download. ( Or works the update on the launcher also for singleplayer, when something has been changed ? )

Two things I wanna ask about, not sure if they count as bugs.

1. I am playing CF 1.8 on normal single player with a german FL-Installation and encounter kind of a speech mix-up.
At the bars Trent talks english an the NPCs talk german.
In mission the "minor" NPCs (chitchat of other noninvolved pilots, Beta 4 in 1st mission part 2, the pilots of involved freighters as the USV Brandt or the Transport leader to Willard) and Trent talk english while i.e. King and Juni talk german. Why ?

2. When flying (free or on mission)F1 menue-callup doesn't work. Works fine when landed (or crashed). Wanted this way ?
