Lancer's Reactor actually has a mod forum where they will trouble shoot issues like this and give you advice. BTW, the best add-on for WCP is the one that provides for better screen resolutions. When it works it is a massive improvement. Neat stuff. As for Freelancer, a number of the mods are interesting. Most just add new ships, but a few change up the levels. What is missing is the beta code that included true radar, etc. and the other missions (the game shipped with only half of the missions that were designed -- at the end Microsoft decided to ship the thing on a single CD. As a result the code is a lot cleaner than it would have been [they cleaned out a lot of hooks] and there are fewer missions than the designers put together). What Freelancer needs is the true autopilot back (so you can click on a route and go to the end without having to fly all the way there), ECM that scrambles lane disruption (so that nothing kicks the autopilot off line except for regularly scheduled encounters), and a real radar. Oh, a Freelancer 2 would be nice as well. Probably not going to see that, which is too bad. As far as I can tell, the project was finished and the entire team moved on. At least they finished it.
