Freelancer is great. The mod you are playing sounds like the Rebalance mod. That's the one I play.

Regarding that stupid race. I hate it. For the longest time I could not beat it. But, then I mapped my flight controls to the keyboard and used the mouse only for targeting, throttle and weapon firing. I beat the race on my second try that way. I have used that setup ever since. I still dread that @#$& race every time i start a new game, though. Keep at it, the final levels are challenging and loads of fun, it would be a shame to miss them because of that numbnut Hovis.

You should be able to skip the during play cutscenes by hitting the spacebar or escape key. The main story scenes are unskippable, IIRC.

Yes, Hovis. Thats it. lol. I really don't get it though... I've played the campeign dozens of times unmodded, and many more modded. I never had to do that race more then twice. Whats wrong?? What ships are you using? do you use the engine kill trick? Do you use cruise? I just can't figure out why you can't beat it... (You ever gunna email m back BTW? lol)
