very nice. I pushed the accept button before I thought about it and it was so realistic I started to get motion sickness> NO LIE...... Sorry I'm still recovering, even after about 15min. I kid you not.

Looks nice

Too bad I have a problem with sounds. When I start a mission, I always have some kind of sound playing constantly in a loop and there's no way to stop it. The sound isn't always the same, but it's always there.

Is this a known problem?

AA has a habit of putting lines in the menu and ,essages during the game,turn it off and see if the lines disappear.
Nial beams are already activated in tbp_open by default.

Idea, player-controlled turrets. There should be a tag added to turrets that can make them player-controlled (if the player is in that ship) and a key binding (left shift for example) to fire them.

So were do I have to put all the files into?
I just know that the tbl files have to be in the Tables Folder.

Extract the files to your FS2 root folder. (I know, you said not to say this...)
Why bother with folders if Bobboau will not?

And remember to use new exe, not FS2 shortcuts.

I get the following (hopefilly well translated) error message:

The file D3D8.DDL is linked with the missing export-DDRAW.DDL:UnlockCB.

The Original text:
Die Datei D3D8.DDL ist verknüpft mit der fehlenden Export-DDRAW.DDL:UnlockCB.
Maybe someone can provide a better translation.

My question is, has this to do with the game, DirectX or the Gafic Card?

I allready installed the latest driver for my GC and reinstalled DirectX (from 9.0 back to 8.1a).

That error doesn't occur when I play FS2 or TBP 2.0, only with TBP_open.

I have a Duron 700 MHZ, 384 MB-RAM, a GeForce 4 TI-4200 with 64 MB RAM, Win ME and the german version of FS2.

BTW if someone is confused about the "(I know, you said not to say this...)" that Mr. Fury wrote (with isn't in my post), I changed it because what (or how) I wrote was a little unpolite in my eyes.

There are few strange things going on;

1) When you fire Nial-beams against some ships, the beams disappear "behind" the model. This happens totally random. Nothing biggie, annoying mostly.

2) Again Nial-beams; When shooting the Olympus with these babies, the object bounces rapidly in the opposite direction (If you fire on the aft, it rushes forward etc.)

These are quite small problems (unless you're an HC Olympus-fan , but I thought there's no harm in mentioning...

Despite the small bugs, nice job everyone. Keep up the good work.

Not sure about the second error with teh Olympus...but the first error is a general FS2 problem and not specific to TBP. This has been noticed appearing on all FS2 ships. Its a bug.
