Help needed - Falcon BIREs not working...

Post by Bengal6 » Mon, 23. Feb 09, 21:06

Apologies for the noob question but I've stumbled onto X3 late in life.

I'm playing X3 reunion and have acquired a pirate falcon - decided to fix her up and see what she was like to play with. Got her all fitted out with the usual shields and extentions etc. But, for the life of me I can't get the lasers to work!!

Fitted a number of Beta Impulse Ray Emitters, and have sorted the grouping etc (i.e. all in group 1) but pressing the fire button results in silence, nada, zilch, nothing!

Could my elders and betters begin making suggestions as to what yours truly has forgotten to do?

I also can't see the front of the ship (graphics glitch) in F1 cockpit veiw and I could have sworn I could when I first capped her?

any advice would be gratefully received. :?

Patched to the latest version? V2.0 GOTY had some issues with the Falcons IIRC.

Version 2.0.02 - so presumably I'm patched up correctly?

No. Apply the 1.0 to 2.5 patch and you should be ok. Version 2.0.02, if straight from the disk, has problems that are only resolved by using the patch I mentioned. Applying the 2.0 to 2.5 patch will not fix those issues.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

OK applied the 1.0 - 2.5 patch - and still no joy ... it has however changed the graphical glitch and I now get what looks like the struts the directional jets are mounted on but nothing else is visible.

lasers still not firing - should I try a different save position do you think? or maybe start a new career?

This is beginning to sound more like a Tech Support issue, so I'll send this thread over to the Reunion Tech Support Forum. First thing you should do is read and follow the instructions in the top sticky on that forum. Hopefully, someone can then help you resolve these problems.

Now that you've applied the patch, just change ships and then return to your problem ship, or fly to a different sector. Either method should solve the problem.
