Hello friends, sorry in advance if I break any rules. I used to spend a lot of time here under a different username I can't remember, but I couldn't figure out my old account. Anyways I downloaded the Knossos launcher and was really impressed with how easy it was to use! I downloaded the Freespace 2 Upgrade Project \ MediaVPs, enabled all the VPs, and booted the game up.
Some ships looked incredible! The Ulysses for example is wildly overhauled, and matches the model shown in the Wiki, the GVD Hatshepsut looks wild and bristling with lights and slick textures. The Loki, Hercules, and Myrmidon all look pretty much the same as their retail selves however. It seems to be a totally mixed bag, and it's VERY noticeable just going through the tech room, versus looking at the models showcased wiki. Is this a fair comparison, or are a lot of the FSO models featured in the wiki custom skin jobs that aren't supposed to be a part of the out-of-the-box experience for the Upgrade Project?
I really appreciate any guidance people can give me towards figuring out if I have a configuration issue or if I'm simply not working off good reference material. Thank you!
