Gunboat S-Foils Problem

[cmdrchris]

I got several problems while playing die TFTC, like that the movies have only sound, so I've to look them with the media player, but the most annoying problem is that I can only fulfill the gunboat missions by playing with unlimited warheads because everytime I try to use the alsers or ion canon I get the message "can't fire while s-foils are closed" if I try to open these none-existing s-foils the game tells me "this ship has no s-foils", so I will have a problem once I come to a mission where i have to dissable an enemy ship.
Another minor prob that occured was that the hyperspace nav after capturing of the ripoblus and ... leaders so I had to use the jumpseat in order to return to the protector.

I installed with the TieCD and the german XWA version and I'm using WinXPpro SP2.

i have the same problem, i can not fire lasers only missiles due to the s-foils being locked but when i press the unlock button i get "The craft does not have s-foils."
grrr.
i have looked all around this forum and can't find the fore-mentioned discussions, please help.
excellant conversion btw!

Thanks guys! Got the patch, installed it and now i have guns on the gunboat that work. For all other newbies like myself, go to the links section on TF-TC and go to the XWAU site. the patch you need is in thier download section.
Again, thanks for the snappy reply guys. I got really excited when i found the TC, having wasted a large portion of my youth on the TIEFIGHTER game i was looking forward to wasting another large portion of my later life playing TIEFIGHTER all over again but this time iwith better graphics. Now i can, goodbye social life, don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
