Ok, I'm a new member who has noted two others with the same problem as me. Namely, the game crashing at Level 3 when meeting Juni at Manhattan Bar, with Freelancer Massive Addon 1.1a (FMA) mod activated.
First, I have the same problem. My current location is in Newark Station, but I crash whenever I try to take off, though accessing dealers on the station itself is fine.
I have a possible hypothesis as to what is causing the problem:
Note that FMA doesn't like waypoints that cross or end up at Manhattan. Test this by plotting best path to the planet... you will immediately crash to desktop.
See the link here? It seems that the reason why FL crashes at Level 3 is that Juni insists on using the darned planet Manhattan, and that FL automatically plots a path to her.
My possible solution to the problem:
You must buy enough commodities and land on Manhattan while at Level 2 WITHOUT plotting a waypoint there (ie. by pilot's eye. But comeon! If you can't identify Manhattan when in the New York System and fly there with your toenails while blindfolded, you don't deserve your freelancer license.)
Now, at Manhattan, you must sell the commodity so as to achieve Level 3 WITHOUT LEAVING MANHATTAN. Juni's mission should trigger, and you SHOULD theoretically be able to meet her at the Bar without any crashes.
Now that I've given a possible solution to the FMA Level 3 problem, I'm going to test it out and post my experiment results.
