When I go to an inventory station it spins me around and exits the station 
automatically. How can I fix this?

It isn't exiting the station, simply removing the inventory screen display. You
are still at the station until you walk away. This allows you to see what is going
on while at the station. Ideally you can set your favorites.cs file to the items 
you commonly buy (even single items like camera or sensor) and then just hit the 
corresponding key when at the station. When you DO need to see the inventory screen
simply hitting I will bring it up. This at first may take getting used to, but when 
you do there is no going back.

Can I use the SixPak in 640x480 or 800x600 video modes?

In SixPak versions prior to 2.6 there is a typo in the sixpak.txt file pertaining 
to the location of files you need to edit to configure SixPak for resolutions other 
than 1024x768. I apologize for the incorrect info. Here is the corrected text.

5. I am running in 1024x768 so everything is tweaked for
   that resolution. If you are running in a different 
   resolution you will need to change the following things.

   a. config\six\sixhud.cs screen width and height 
      you can also tweak positioning of the hud from this file.

   b. config\six\scorehud.cs  You can tweak positioning of scorehud from here

   c. config\writer\xhud.cs   You can tweak positioning of xhud from here
   
   d. config\six\stopwatch.cs   You can tweak positioning of stopwatch from here
  
   e. config\six\cdhud.cs   You can tweak positioning of cd player from here

   f. config\six\pinghud.cs   You can tweak positioning of pinghud from here

There will usually be a group of numbers that will need to be changed like this.

$CDHUD::position = "1 223 120 32";  

In that example the first number represents the x (or horizontal) placement and the second
number represents the y or vertical placement. The second two numbers are the length and width 
of the HUD and usually not a good idea to mess with.

I cannot get used to the fast favorites script. How can I disable it?
Simply open config\sixautoexec.cs and put // at the very front of the line 
that loads the fast_favorites script like this.

//include("writer\\fast_favorites.cs");

How can I edit the fast favorites default loadouts?
Open config\favorites.cs to edit the loadouts. By looking at the default 
configuration it is pretty easy to figure out what to do. I suggest you back
up the file first though so you can easily overwrite and start over of you 
do mess it up.

Does the SixPack include a script to switch weapons if I run out of ammo?
Yes, but the option is disabled by default in 2.5 
To re-enable simply remove the // from the front of the line that loads 
ammo_check.cs in config\six\autoexec.cs so it looks like the following

include("writer\\ammo_check.cs");

Sometimes when I respawn my mouse sensativity is maxed out. Why?
If you are having a problem with mouse sensitivity maxing out when you die
or mission changes you may need to look in config\writer\pilot_mode.cs and 
check the following line to be sure auto detect pilot is not enabled. There 
seems to be problems with the auto detection that can cause the problem.

// Set this to true to automatically switch to Pilot Mode after you have no weapons for a couple seconds
$PilotMode::AutoDetectOn = false;

I cannot see the any of the huds that should be on the right hand side 
Of the screen. What is wrong?

You are likely running at a resolution other than 1024x768 and have not
made the necessary changes to the files needed as indicated in sixpak.txt
and also in this document.
