There is only one saved-game file available for Virtual Voyager Mode. When you attempt to exit the program, the game will prompt you to save at that point. The next time you launch the game, selecting the "Resume" menu option will load your saved game. You can also use the F3 key to save your game and F4 to load your saved game while playing in Virtual Voyager mode.

9. If I can't save my Virtual Voyager Tours, does that effect saving games in the original Elite Force game?
Installing the Expansion Pack updates how Star Trek: Voyager® - Elite Force ™ handles it's saved games. You will no longer notice the Autosave slot in your Save or Load screen, as this slot is now reserved for saving progress within Virtual Voyager. Whenever you leave Virtual Voyager, you will be prompted to save your game. By selecting Yes, you will save at the exact point in which you select to save the game. It is not recommended to use the “Quicksave” function while in Virtual Voyager.
