FLUX DISASTERS

[BCFreak13]

Okay, I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and then upgrading. I did all the stuff neccessary, but i can't use Flux fields. When ever I try to go in manually I flyin and then out the same one. I tried all of them multiple times getting this same result. I then told the Auto Pilot to go through and.........The game crashed. There is no way for me to get the HSD. HELP ME!!!!!!

The AI can't go through Flux Fields, you have to go through them manually. When you tell it to go through the AI goes crazy looking for a way to accomplish the task w/o using the Flux Field.

A bit late with a reply but hey I've been busy

When using the Fluxfield do you get a audible alert and a message saying position unchanged

or

nothing at all happens

If the latter then you have not used the correct key sequence to initiate the jump.

12.2 Intra-System Course Plotting

There are times when you will want to leave the current region or even the system. You

will use the same procedure are described above but in this case, you will need to select

a jump anomaly such as a wormhole, fluxfield, or jump point in the NID computer. Once

the ship reaches the anomaly, it will enter and then emerge on the other side of the

anomaly. Using the method, you will be able to travel to any region or starsystem in the

entire galaxy.

To travel to another region, follow the procedure above but you can only select jump

anomalies in the NID computer’s NAVMAP mode.

┬À Press [W] to turn off the weapon systems if on. NAV should now be displayed in the

HUD.

┬À Press [J] to put the NID in command mode and cycle through to the NAVMAP mode.

┬À Press [.] to select any target and press [V] to view it in the CVD.

┬À Press [.] and [,] to cycle through all valid targets until the desired one is displayed in

the CVD.

┬À Press [F] to program the target to the AUTONAV flight computer.

┬À Press [F] again to activate and lock the Flight Path Designator to the current flight

path. The FP : TARGET symbol will appear in the top-center of the BRIDGEVIEWER,

displaying the name of the jump anomaly leading to the target region.

┬À Activate the AUTONAV computer by pressing [A] . If the target is a jump anomaly, the

ship will enter it and emerge on the other side.

┬À Once you emerge on the other side, deactivate the autopilot with [A] and re-arm your

weapon systems using [W].

if the former, this is one of the possible outcomes of using the fluxfield

a) your position is unchanged.

you arrive at your desired destination.

c) you arrive at some other destination including the possibility of a Black Hole and instant death.

Don't know about the crashes, I used to get the odd crash sometimes but not very often, I could never identify what caused them but different PC systems seem to have different number of crashes.

Flux fields scare me I don't even like to get caught in one.

I will try your suggestion
