Am I supposed to get people out of the tech center somehow or should I go
right for the walker? Do I just hit the secondary w3apon button once to
deploy the tow rope? I know I'm a little slow but I've been stuck on this
level for a month!!!
Thanks
Steve

Take out the walker once you have dealt with the tie fighters at the Tech centre - once you've grounded the walker fly back to the tech centre to take out the 2nd walker.

I'm stuck too!  Can anyone help us deploy the tow rope?

Well I've finally downed the walker a few times now. Be sure you are hitting the secondary weapon button and driving the speeder. Approach the walker straight on and stay very low at slowest speed. When you are right next to the walker (you should still be able to see some of the legs) hit the secondary weapon button - if it just clicks hit it again real quick. When you've hit it at the right time you will get  a different view from above and actually this is the tricky part: you have to fly around the walker three times before it falls - If you get too far from the walker your view will revert back to cockpit and you have to start over . During the flight around the walker the steering is very wierd - I think you have to pull back onthe joystick just as much as turn. The controls are very sluggish during this phase. I assigned one of the buttons on my joystick to the left brake to help make sharper turns which seemed to help although I have felled the walker without the brake. I always fly to the right of the walker and turn left around it so my practice is consistent. The walker back at the tech centre (actually two of them)  are smaller ones you just have to shoot a bunch of times. I still haven't quite finished this level but came so close once but the escape pod got shot by a tie fighter - the last three are a real bitch! Good luck! this level sucks cuz you've got to go through ten minutes of easy stuff to get to the tricky part which makes practice very lengthy.

You need to be close to the walker before you hit the second weapons button. When the tow cable deploys you will be thrown into a different view. That can take getting used to. Try to make your approach from the same side so you don't get your directions mixed up. You will have to go around the walker three times before it will fall. If you get too far away the cable will break free and you will have to go around for another try. Good luck
