Your only supposed to have 1 mission property not 2.

That's not it, I've tried it with both on or just the one for berths and I can't dock because my ship is too large (according to the base) and they can't accomidate it.

I have no clue why this isn't working, I've comapred it to the rest of the flyable ships configurations and aside form the order things are in everything looks the same, but order shouldn't matter.... I put my camera angles in a different place then where the rest of the ship configs have them and they work fine.... Odd

I dunno, thas sucks bro. My Explanation is that it's too small inside the facility.

whats the mass set at, its possible this is the way the stations verify your size

I'll mess around with the properties some mroe, see if something will change this, I'll leave this topic up and if I do find the answer I'll post it here so if anyone ever has this problem in the future, they'll be able to find it. Thanks to everyone whose tried to help.

Alright, I'm out of idea's, so here's my config for the ship... If anyone see's anything wrong with it, let me know.

I can confirm this. Today I just created a duplicate (mind you, no settings changed ) of the Dromedary and I got the same error. EXTREMELY frustrating, being no settings (save the extra loaded ini files and the changed nick names ) have been changed. Just wanted to confirm and see if anyone else has had this problem as well (more importantly, the solution )?

EDIT: *****

Okay, I found the answer to the problem, and I hope it's the same situation with you as well! First of all credit goes to Catscratcher , being he is the one that had this problem first and posted the solution on a sticky tutorial.

It turns out that the game handles all additional ini files perfectly... that is with the exception of the shiparch.ini file. I like keeping things as clean as possible, and as such I usually make separate DLL/ini files. This works with everything but the shiparch.ini file it would seem.

Sure enough, i moved over my new ship data from dr_shiparch.ini into shiparch.ini and everything is fine now; docking, landing, and all that good stuff! I don't necessarily like adding new code to the original ini, but it works. Oh, and make sure to remove the reference to your modified shiparch.ini file in the freelancer.ini file!

I hope this helps!
