Blind-Fire problem

I posted this on another thread, but who knows if anyone will see it there?

I just got to mission 15 and got the Patriot. It says that it has blind-fire, but once I launched there was no blind-fire icon on the HUD. I hit 'shift+f' and the voice said blind fire deactivated. I hit it again and the voice said blind fire activated. Still no icon on the HUD and my shots were definately not tracking. Any one else have this problem?

Big boys? ok, I'll buy that. Welcome, Vorpal, to the friendly space of TLR.

Thanks for the welcome. I just picked up the game for $1.99 at EB. I had played the demo several years ago and my computer could not handle it. I recently upgraded and now I can enjoy it to the fullest.

I believe that the demo came out after Starlancer

Doesn't the demo have an extra mission that the game doesn't have? Or have I been misinformed again?

The Demo consists of Two Missions Set before the Game. At about the time of the Coalition attack on Base Kenedy. In the Demo you fly as part of Rollin

big boys ?? and yes, it did take me quite a long while to figure that one out as well. but until then, i didnt know what blindfire was, i thought it was the type of built in weaponary. then i set to work on the nova cannon and how to activate it. it was confusing, i first pressed 'g' without realising and i got all freaked out, then i sqoured the controlls, and i got it. then i learnt what blindfire was.... i still dont get what the 'ECM's do though.

ECMs - Electronic Counter Measures - make it harder for hostiles to lock their missiles at you.
