1. Do you have a folder called mediavps inside \freespace2\?
2. Does \freespace2\mediavps\ have .vp files in it?

If yes to both 1 and 2, open the Launcher, open the MOD tab, click Select MOD, select the \mediavps\ folder, click OK, click Apply. Then, open the Features tab and tick on at least Enable specular, Enable glowmaps, Enable environment maps, Use models for ship selection and (if you are running fs2_open_3_6_9) enable jpg/tga textures. When you run the game, it will be noticeably prettier. And remember to stick to OpenGL. Direct3D is evil.

If no to 1 and/or 2, run Turey's Installer again and this time select the MediaVPs to be downloaded. Once you can answer yes to both 1 and 2, proceed with the instructions above.

You sure? How does it compare to a Radeon 9600? I've used the MediaVPs (no adveffects) with such without problems. Well, a little twitching in mass battle scenes but nothing too bad.

Yeah I have that graphics card but no where near as good a computer (1.5 ghz chip and 512 mb ram). The 5200 should be able to handle it no probs. Even with Adveffects, although it may slow to a stutter during large battles or when there are a lot of asteroids! (nicking the asteroid fix from BTRL and putting this in the mediaVPs folder worked for me however)

Which 9600? My 9550, which is basically the same card with lower clock speeds, goes down to 5 FPS when looking at any BP HTL ship, for example. With a few HTL ships (Orions, for example) It slows down.

Haven't actually tried BP wit it, but FS2 main and FSPort run well enough. Stressing that I'm deliberately not using AdvEffects. The rig might be somewhat comparable to Wobble73's rig.

Mine was the exact same as Wobble's, and didn't do AdVPs without the RAM upgrade.
