it reminds me of the scene in the movie 2001 where frank bowman flies into the monolith and you see all those streaks of light

Argh! I cannot get this to work either! Does it work in singleplayer as well? Someone above mentioned that he went too fast for the story so I assume that it does work with SP. But I cannot get it to work after I uncompress it, add the line and the value and save it as "constants.ini". I have never tried using mods in FL.

*cackle* That's absolutely hilarious.

Warning!

While Asteroids are no problem....

Cruising through a planet or the sun? not a good idea. Still gets you.

I hit it thinking "It's not doing anything" and realized my ship had vanished...as i swung around i saw the Star for New London, clicked on it, and found i was over 5000k away. as i spun to aim toward it, trying to gauge how fast i was going (apparently around 100,000m/s) i smashed into the sun. it all happened so soon, i overshot the star by an unknown amount before i actually exploded.

But an awesome mod. *lol*

Bump, tired of seeing all these get lost into the abyss and seeing the same stupid questions asked over and over.

I can't get this to work either. :>( I really wanted to check this mod out.

You have to add the line CRUISING_SPEED aswell, dont you people read?

Post Mon Mar 31, 2003 6:55 am

I found another odd bug. certainly one of those "Your asking for it anyway" sort of things.. but... with Cruising Speed set to 50,000 and the ANOM_MAX set to 100,000... flying around in cruise is uber-fun (short of hitting planets and things. do you have any idea how hard it is to dodge a sun? heh.) However, trying to bring up the map to see where you're at *while* cruising is *not* recommended at this speed. have tested it on multiple PC's, apparently when it runs into areas that it hasnt explored yet (what i was using that god-awful speed for, looking for more hidden ships and jumpholes.) whenever it tries to update more than one spot at a time, you get an almost insta-lock.

Setting it back to 10,000 makes it a little more safe... still locks occasionally. 5,000 seems to be the best speed for me.

Sweet, I'm going to have to try this one out sometime! THX blackfire.

Figgured I should bump this because it was the question I was wondering and found no info on untill I opened up the post limit to the last 100 days so bumpitty bump bump.

This is how far you get with a cruise speed of 900,000 (of course I could have gone farther).



Uhh, taxi? Heh

Ok I'm afraid I'm retarded now... haven't done any modding before but this shouldn't be that hard. However I'm failing miserably

I have the following in my uncompressed constants.ini file...

[PhySysConsts
MATERIAL_FRICTION = 0.100000
MATERIAL_ELASTICITY = 0.900000
DEFAULT_LINEAR_DAMPING = 0.500000
DEFAULT_ANGULAR_DAMPING = 0.200000, 0.200000, 0.200000
ANOM_LIMITS_MAX_VELOCITY = 30000

I also tried adding the line CRUISING_SPEED = XXXX

that didn't seem to do anything. Does anyone see something blatantly stupid here? I don't mind anyone calling me a retard as long as you tell me how to fix it

Thanks gents!

i got same problem, i have these

[PhySysConsts
MATERIAL_FRICTION = 0.100000
MATERIAL_ELASTICITY = 0.900000
DEFAULT_LINEAR_DAMPING = 0.500000
DEFAULT_ANGULAR_DAMPING = 0.200000, 0.200000, 0.200000
ANOM_LIMITS_MAX_VELOCITY = 50000

but my cruise speed isnt changed

anyone can tell me how to fix it

Post Thu Apr 03, 2003 12:35 pm

Under [EngineEquipConsts add the line CRUISING_SPEED = whatever.

Post Thu Apr 03, 2003 3:21 pm

Khaos thanks a lot! That did it for me... now is there a way to increase the speed attained while using just the thruster instead of the Cruise Engines? Again thanks!

Post Sun Apr 06, 2003 6:04 pm

How do i unzip the constants.ini. cause when i open it with word all i see is jibberish!?!?
