cool tip for re-installing wtihout losing chars: Just delete the folder where you installed freelancer and delete the modmanager folder. Aftre this re-install freelancer, then use the sdk1.3 version, then install the modmanager 1.3 and finally load the cfsetup.exe for the new mod. I did this evrytime and never lost my chars. Hope i made your life little easier. Greetz [HC]_Wallie
