How does FL Companion work - nOmnomnOm - 11-21-2013 I just got it and I am sort of understanding the basics but... everything seems so small in profit... do I have to update it and stuff? I think so right? There are options in the top to "import from running game" Do i do that first thing? Ty in advance for the help! RE: How does FL Companion work - Dratai - 11-21-2013 here's what you want to do. Because it is probably still set to standard FL speeds.. and cargo size 1. Settings -> speed and delays Set these values (for most transports/traders) average cruise speed: 340 average speed in trade lanes: 1900 jump gate delay: 25 jump hole delay: 15 trade lane and docking delay: 15 base reaching and docking delay: 30 then go to settings -> limitations cargo volume: your max, usable cargo (this would be whatever you can actually load in your hold, after factoring in turrets/other things eating up space. In my case I've recently flown a 3500 cargo units transport. but I can only carry 3450-ish cargo. Enter that and set whatever limitations you might want. It should now correctly show you profit per time. Hope that helps RE: How does FL Companion work - nOmnomnOm - 11-21-2013 Is it already updated with our server or do i have to sync it?

It's under settings too. "Set freelancer directory". Mind you it needs to be set to whatever version/folder of freelancer you're playing at the time. i.e. /program files/discovery If yes, then it should have all you need. RE: How does FL Companion work - nOmnomnOm - 11-21-2013 Alright if that's it then thanks a ton! RE: How does FL Companion work - evanz - 11-21-2013 that's about it, but it dont show ores prices, some people have said it does but i haven't seen any, perhaps someone can say otherwise RE: How does FL Companion work - Dratai - 11-21-2013 It'll show you mining locations within a system. But I don't think it's programmed for anything but base-to-base when it comes to pricing and such.

If any players have it working, please post the version of FL Companion you're using.

It's programmed to read dynamic prices from a running freelancer.exe, it used to work, as did importing cargo hold size, but importing doesn't work anymore. I would have said it might have something to do with not running the program as admin, because that would disallow access to another programs memory addresses, but I have XP (everythin runs as admin) on my laptop and it doesn't work there either.

The "Load Dynamic Economy" functionality works in version 2.01 of FL Companion. In the latest version (2.02) it does not. Personally, I have both versions installed. |
