race with Dexter Hovis

Fri Jun 03, 2005 10:43 pm by blackfoot

some time ago I uninstalled Freelancer from my computer, when I decided to returne to the game again I installed the game again and from than since each time that i arrive on the the race with Dexter Hovis I can't go any further because for some reason the game doesn't let me.
I star the race as is recomended with the cruise engines, and everything is ok for a couple of seconds, but for some reason that I don't know, the creise engines are shut off and the restart angain, this can happen once or twice, so I never can win that race and the game ends there. Does any one have any idea what to do how to get through this mission, because I want o keep going on the game but I don't know what to do.I apreciate any help
Thank you very much.

are you using goto? if you are thats the reason, you have to fly the race yourself

Well, you could always use thrusters. That could work. It only goes a hundred meters slower.

if nothing works your game might be corrupted, make a backup savegame file and reinstall

theres a lot of trouble with this race, either your doing something wrong or your Databackup system network may have a bug

If you wanted to you could use a speed mod that makes thrusters go 400, then just use thoes. You would need the best thruster you could find and maybe use engine kill so you conserve thruster power.

You don't require cheats. Hovis makes a blunder 3/4 through the race. Just pursue the checkpoints until he does so. There is no need for cheats,

I agree. I did the race for the first time yesterday and i beat him with a Crusader easily. I then reloaded my savegame from just before and used a Clydesdale. That was quite easy too. Just stick along behind him, and when he messes up, just go straight through and ignore the weapons fire.

Officer! I swear to drunk I'm not God!
