How to Delete a Dead Character?

[Akmatov]

In my ventures into OFF I have killed off a couple of characters. How can I delete them out of OFF so I don't clog up the directory with corpses? I looked and the files in the 'characters' folder must have come with the program as they were no anything I had invented.

Akmatov, go to the pilot dossier from main menu and cycle through your pilots. To delete a pilot click retire.

Akmatov and all - the deletion of pilot can lead to CFS3 problems, I assume,

when you don't do it like this:

 

You go to a dead pilot and click on "retire". Then, right after that, you go to

"enlist a new pilot", and create one. Do that with all you want to delete.

 

Because: Every pilot has a number. When he is shown in your log as Pilot No.3,

he is actually pilot4 in the pilot files.

Now, when you delete one without creating a new one, the whole order of numbers

can get mixed up for CFS3 files.

I am not sure, that this is a fact, but I used to have trouble sometimes, when only a "CFS3 reset"

would help (which means the loss of all pilots!).

Since I do it in the above way, I didn't have such problems anymore.
