I'm going to try this again, I have no way of calling up the Internal , {ingame} computer to save the Game, I
finish my trip In my Tursus and arrive at a Mine or Helena , and I press "Control C" to bring up the Ingame Computer to save that Trip, but!, I cannot get a response to make this happen, My Handbook commands do nothing to help me
continue this Game, Why?, are there now other Type Commands I need to do this please, could somebody help
me please!

The Personal Computer is just C, not Ctrl+C.

Hello TPC, I'm afraid none of that did a thing for me, I Even tried "Shift C", "C", "Alt C",, and many others as I wandered around the Base looking for a Link that might have helped, but to no avail, The Users Manual I have Is from when I bought the Game New and half It's Commands are no good with this Game, Is there any updated Commands
for this Game?, If so where do I download them from please?!

Just "c" works for me. Combination with other keys like Shit and Alt works too because game responds to "c". Did you tried using mouse buttons pressed together?

Do you use joystick? Then check "Reference guide". Like user's manual it is delivered together with the game.

Ok, so I know this topic says 'SOLVED', but the few solutions on here are clunky, and not at all straightforward.
So, here is THE SIMPLEST way to get Righteous Fire to work, and you don't even need to edit any .conf files to do it.

1) Go to Privateer's directory. The default SHOULD be "C:\GOG Games\Wing Commander Privateer"
2) Find the shortcut "Launch Wing Commander Privateer"
3) Right-click the shortcut, and select "copy".
4) PASTE the copy in the same exact directory. You should now have a shortcut called "Launch Wing Commander Privateer - Copy"
5) Right click on the new shortcut, and click "rename". Rename the shortcut whatever you wish. I recommend simply "Righteous Fire".
6) Right click on the renamed shortcut again, and click on "properties".
7) Find the "Target" field, and click on it. Scroll towards the end of the command until you see a part that says " "..\dosboxPRIV_single.conf". CHANGE this to "..\dosboxPRIV_RF.conf".
8) Click Apply.
9) Double Click on the edited shortcut.
10) Enjoy Righteous Fire!

Hope this helps. I tried to make this as simple to follow as possible, and I hope it helps many people discover the joys of this wonderful expansion! Especially after having erroneously posted a review of Privateer claiming that the game doesn't have the expansion... not really sure why GOG didn't include a shortcut for it. Happy Gaming!

It's easier than that the shortcut to Rightous Fire is in the:

"start button" "all programs" , "GOG.com", "Wing Commander:Privateer" folder.

This was not the case with my Win8.1 installation. Any other Win8 people not find a shortcut in Metro? There certainly wasn't one in the game's installation folder, either. I had to make my own.
Perhaps this particular issue is only pertinent to Win8, then, and if that's the case, I see no reason not to post the simplest solution to the issue for people who are looking for answers.
