I didn't have as much trouble as you but I could never use the time dilation feature for instance. There's the AUX.1 switch as well for me. I had to put the following on the shortcut as parameters for the exe -ignorejoy 9 -ignorejoy 10 -ignorejoy 11 -ignorejoy 12 -ignorejoy 13 -ignorejoy 14 Hope it helps you because it's very enjoyable once you get things sorted out. Cheers, Stonehouse

Cheers, Stonehouse You know that is probably it. I did notice some problems with the selector switch. I'll try shutting them off when I get home.

More importantly, if I pick up the disk Gold version off of Amazon, what DRM or copy protection is in the game? Steam is a no go for me as my system is also a work machine and cannot have such a service installed on the PC. Thanks. _________________________ I keep playing video games, but the Star League keeps ignoring me...

Eugene Senior Member Registered: 09/15/04 Posts: 4458 Loc: Oregon	Yes. The retail version I bought a long time ago can be installed - don't launch yet! - and then patched with the latest upgrade which removes the copy protection (which iirc was some more modern Star Force or something similar). _________________________ Eugene CoreDuo G620 ASUS P8Z68-V PRO BFG N460 GTX Cyclone 1GD5 OC Forceware 301.42 X-Fi Xtreme Gamer WinXP Pro 2 gig RAM Saitek X52 PRO.

Yes, absolutely. Just keep in mind that the game is quite complex and needs a bit of patience, especially at the beginning. _________________________ "...late afternoon the Air Tasking Order came in [and] we found the A-10 part and we said, "We are going where!?

Para_Bellum Oberkriegkaboomführer Hotshot Registered: 01/18/01 Posts: 6436 Loc: Germany	Yep, that's the version to get (I have the same). Install, apply latest patch (2.6), and you're ready to go. http://www.egosoft.com/download/x3tc/patches_en.php _________________________ "...late afternoon the Air Tasking Order came in [and] we found the A-10 part and we said, "We are going where!?

Eugene Senior Member Registered: 09/15/04 Posts: 4458 Loc: Oregon	pepper, that's right - thanks for getting that corrected. tages was (is?) similar to the old Starforce in that it installs special drivers on your computer in order to play the sim. I didn't like that approach so waited until the excellent egosoft company removed the drm as they do pretty consistently after the initial release of their products. _________________________ Eugene CoreDuo G620 ASUS P8Z68-V PRO BFG N460 GTX Cyclone 1GD5 OC Forceware 301.42 X-Fi Xtreme Gamer WinXP Pro 2 gig RAM Saitek X52 PRO.

fatty Senior Member Registered: 07/04/07 Posts: 3035 Loc: Brussels, Belgium	I gave X3: Reunion a whirl a while back, but ended up shelving it because I found it overwhelming. I just started playing X3:TC and what a blast. The new interface is very accommodating. It's great with a HOTAS - I like that the lower detent in my X52's throttle just so happens to match the 0% throttle setting in-game. _________________________ "...for who are so free as the sons of the waves?"
