Is it possible to buy this DVD edition somewhere? If it is something different than the normal one, I would like to get a copy...

I`ve seen it as an OEM version with a DVD drive. AFAIK it was never released seperately.

you should post this in the Freespace Conversion thread too, and did you add it to the download page?

Those Afterburner trails. They were awesome. When you used your afterburners, the engine glow was seriously enlongigated. I looked awesome.

As for getting the DVD. It came with a computer I had with a DVD drive. The thing is awesome. The only problem is when you install Silent Threat, the game looks like ****.

Its not installed, and I don't have enough hard drive left to do it. Also, the afterburner trails won't work for anything but the DVD version. They are hard coded, and aren't coded in the regular fs2 or fs1 games. Sorry guys.

Right, the Silent Threat engine modifications (EMP and leech) remove the trails. I found the flags in the ships.tbl
Code: [Select]
$Trail: 100
$Etrail: 100
but they don't work outside of the FS1 DVD. And mine doesn't work under Windows 2000.

Argh, I'm getting sick and tired of hearing about these afterburner trails! I thinkk it's a hoax by all you FS1 DVD owners! You're trying to pull a fast one on all of us less-blessed peons, but we ain't gonna fall for it anymore! Until I see screenshot-proof that these "trails" exist, I'm not going to believe you!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

With source code modifications and DX8 upgrade, afterburner trails could look MUCH better.

sheepy - I think the FS2 registry entries are the same as for FS1. The "D3DUseLargeTextures" and "D3DTextureDivider" are, I think, the only ones that are needed. I'm not sure about that, though. It's been a while since I ventured into the registry, and it's been even longer since I fired up FS/FS2, though they've been on my hard drive for ages. So most of this stuff is new to me, like FS2_open and Reciprocity and all that. :confused:

GalacticEmperor, thanks for posting these! I can't wait to play through the game again with some really high-res textures!
