no sweat... firstly you need to Double click on the newyork system Iif you are using Freelancer Explorer) once you do that you will see the system edit screen..yade yade yada once there pick a spot and RIGHT click on the target location for the Gate/Hole you want

Once this is accomplished you will see a pop up menu that has

Jumpgate Start <=== start the gate
Jumhole Start <===== end the gate
Jumgate End <=== start the hole
Jumphole End <==== end the hole

once the determinced location is you will double click and you are back to the Freelancer Explorer main screen. Double click ( not right click) on the system you want to finish the gate/hole in. Now you are in the system, pick the location you want the gate/hole to drop you in. double click and select either Jumpgate End or Jumphole end...(depending on which you started with )

and wha la!! you got an access point from new your to what ever system you picked...pretty simple huh now you may have to change the "orientation" of the Jumpgate to face the right way...to to this, go into the systems in which you added the gates, and right click on the gate itself and you will see a pop up menu that says, "Change Orientation" and all you do is click on it and drag the little red line to face the direction you want...its all gravy from there

have fun!!!


ps. if you are having trouble e-mail me for further advice, just to help baked keep thread sizes to a minimum

luv ya bp
