Problem with a new ship...

Tue Jan 11, 2005 8:00 pm by Varmint260

I imported a ship from another mod into my own mod for personal use, and I gave it the Starflier's engine, the Hawk's power generator, and a bunch of regular things. Well, I go into FL and I buy the ship. Then I exit Battleship Missouri, and the stuff hits the fan. I'm going 990 speed on regular power, the ship turns so fast that even with go-to I can't focus on any one object, and when I stop dead and go into free flight so the mouse doesn't control it, it sits there, doing barrel-rolls at a rate of about 5 per second.

WHAT THE HECK?

Well it's using the Hawk's engine and power supply. They don't have any problem, so why should my ship? I'll check to see if ShipScripter made a mistake in telling my ship where its engine is. HELP! I've misplaced my engine! I'll post what I find...

Oh god I AM a dope. I told goods.ini to use Starflier engine and the XML script that it was a Hawk Engine, so it didn't know what to do with itself. Thnx anyway!

Well, I gave it the right engine, and fixed all the inconsistencies I put in the ini files, and STILL the ship is performing EXACTLY the same. Crappy.

well i doubt it's anything todo with the hawk engine if you haven't touched the files, i'd say it's where the engines mounted or how many you got on it, just as a test change the line 'num_exhaust_nozzles = 2' to 'num_exhaust_nozzles = 1' and see if any thing happends btw which model are you useing?

Don't script mods.

Heh, I'm interested to know how you did it, would be very funny to have a sortof 'daredevil' ship, for the more...mentally challenged (shall we say) pilots out there
