The problem with bypassing the intro is you MUST specify the target directory in the EXE's shortcut properties.
No Target Directory, no fighters.  

See! I knew somebody would know. Now why is it that you get PF's but no fighters? I'm guessing that the .exe knows the way to the shiplist file, but guesses the way to the ftrlist.

Great info!!

This is exactly correct.  Make sure you have the correct "Start In" path in
your shortcut otherwise the game cannot find the spec file.

Thanks,

Using the intro version did work for me.  Happily flying carriers again...

And I'll try the introless but properly target-directoried shortcut.  I normally make sure that their in there (usually copy the one from the install and just modify the .exe name) but may have forgotten the past couple of installs.

Usually, when the target directory is an issue, the game itself tends not to work.  That's the only reason I haven't considered that as a problem.  Nice to learn something new every day... Thanks for the responses gang...

If anyone does, SFU will gladly post it.

Or if there are enough "questions" I can even write one myself... (but I can't think of more than 3 questions, and that makes a sad FAQ.)
