Just my two cents but wouldn't it have made it much more realistic had it been impossible to lock onto the Minbari ships because of their stealth systems? I know that they did this in FS1 with the Shivan fighters in the first couple of missions so the scripts existed.
This just looks fantastic all around. I've dug up my old FS2 disks because I've been itching to replay the finest space combat game ever, and I was introduced to the SCP and modding scene by a friend. One thing that I'm curious about, though. Can you play from within the cockpit? I noticed this was played third-person, but I've always been a stickler about playing in true, in-the-cockpit first person when playing any sort of space or flight game. Can you do that with TBP?
Well it's just in cutscenes, if you watch the one before the mission it shows a cockpit from a starfury. In game, you don't have a full modeled cockpit with window frames or computer screens or realistic controls.
Since you can fly many ships in game and even alien ones it would be very hard to produce something like that in game, and it would be harder for players to "get use" of another fighter.
But anyhow nothing is impossible yet and TBP was just realised to public to continue the modding.
This is a very cool 1st mission, but one thing is bothering me. Why does the mission go into cutscenes while the mission is still occuring. For instance, you're trying to shoot a Nial, and then the scene switches to a weird cutscene before going back to yourself fighting. I don't have this game, so I'm just wondering why it happens. These cutscenes happen at 4:19 to 4:34, and at other times. What's the reason for this?

I have a questions. How do you jump at the end of the mission? I just started playing it a couple of days ago and can never seem to jump.

Of course, just check other TBP videos. You can do everything and even more just like in FS2.

NO NO NO!
I think jon meant does it have a PROPER cockpit, not an on screen view as the original one had.
That made Starlancer the better game for me, FS2 had no genuine cockpit, just a front screen view!

There are no cutscenes during the mission. I just used external views to capture some of the interesting parts during the mission.

You have to lock the view first. Press F1 for more help in game.
