I don't think this is ever going to effect me, but I'm interested nonethelss. Phoenix's post with the film of the Lulsla brought up an interesting point.<P>Does your film taken with old models work once you install new ones? If you have a film with the old Lulsla in which you target and destroy the warhead launcher, I'm guessing the game's not going to be too happy about loading a Lulsla model without a launcher.

Don't know for sure, but I think it's VERY unlikely that the movies will work properly!<P>------------------<BR>Murphy was an optimist!<BR><B>I</B> am a pessimist!<BR>Webmaster of the <A HREF="http://www.xwaupgrade.com" TARGET=_blank>X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project</A>

When replaying a film in X-Wing a long, long time ago, I remember a very funny error...<BR>My s-foils didn't open at the beginning, and so I went around pointing at things but not firing. Needless to say I died pretty quickly but the movie kept going.<P>I think that the film room simply runs the mission as normal and substitutes the players input with recorded input. So the movie would almost definately be different, but may still work.<P>I think.<P>------------------<BR>Star Trekkin' across the universe, <BR>Only goin' forward because we can't find reverse!!

He means playing a film that was made with the TG MC40 when you have the XWAU MC40 installed.<P>------------------<BR>Star Trekkin' across the universe, <BR>Only goin' forward because we can't find reverse!!
