Hey, what number did you get ?
-
ohh believe me, ship control + flight fun = unrivaled in FS2.
Never seen any other space game with a flight feeling like this.
-
I hope you enjoy the game! I know I did (and still do).
-
uhm, what is exactly in the package?
(manual, nice cd-case covers, extra's different from what was already available on HOTU/VWBB/Here.)

..not to mention the fight feeling -- intensity is everything! :devil:
-
was that english?

I got no. 40 of 2000. And it says on the box "Includes over 20 additional missions" WOOT! Dunno if they're mission from FSO or what tho. I gonna install it in a couple mins here and poot around a few mins before I begin in earnest with the FSO install. I hope I get all the latest versions right, as per the sticky thread/WIKI page so I don't get all hosed up. Anyway-
Here's what it came with- 3 CDs in paper covers, full-size 76 page B/W manual, 3 section foldout B/W keyboard reference chart, and other vital... juices that I found out later came from me when I opened the box.
OK- I go install now! Talk to yoos later woot!
-
Tell, us what the 20 extra missions are when you get to them =)
-
I hate to be a spoilsport, but those "extra missions" are merely the standalone single and multiplayer missions included with the Sci-Fi Sim of the Year Edition (sometimes referred to as the "X" missions). Interplay's blurb at their online store states that this is just a re-release of the SFSOTY.
-
Yep, nothing new, just installed. Only thing that's new is no cardboard CD sleave, and a little bit of differentation on the CD art.
-
Ahhh I see. Well I just completed the first mission and am sure loving this game already. I set it to very easy for awhile to get the hang of it without getting clobbered too badly heh. But dig- I DON'T EVEN NEED MY SAITEK PROFILER TO USE ALL THE STUFF ON MY X45 RIG YAAAAY! I found I was able to setup -everything- on it within the game. WOW! Rotaries, throttle, all hats and buttons. WOOT! Heh. Well, I dunno about the mode switch and auxilary, havent tried them yet. But if it's more stable and use less memory, I'll settle for in-game config and keyboard augment. If I can just remember it all now, the x45 settings. I wish I could print the settings out, or at least take a screenshot of them. Can I do screenshots? But I think I got a handle on it all, and will do better as I use them more. I did try to view the pilot file in notepad but its binary and dont show me anything.
-
Yes, you can take screenshots :p I believe it's the Print Screen key.
-
Oh. Haha.:nod: Sometimes the most obvious solution actually works huh? Got a solution just as easy to print out all the control configs? And stop laffing.
-
Glad you're having fun. :D Have you completed the main campaign yet?
-
QUICK! Let's post pictures of "Their Finest Hour" here!
:rolleyes:
-
LOL ur so sillay. I only had it less than a day and had to sleep right after it got delivered, then i RTFM and setup my controls awhile, so only played the first few missions so far. I just now found, BTW, a walkthrough on gamespot that has all the controls in a text file, so I can print it out and pencil in my X45 HOTAS additions for reference in game. Stop laffing! Ok I go play now. Or mebbe go ahead with the FSO procedures, if I can do it without hosing the whole game. I not real big on the hoop-jumping and tweedling anymore nowadays.
-
Mine just came in today. I got number 56. The sound for some reason is so much more crisp than the one i downloaded... havent figured out why though...
-
Aww yeah!! Just got mine as well. I know what I'M doing this weekend!!!
:p

silly question, but if we hope to get a FS3, looks around for karajorma :nervous:, shouldn't we hope that people are getting copies with numbers much higher that 53?
-
Well, we at this community tried to buy them as quickly as possible. I ordered mine as soon as I got the money.
-
well I don't think there was enough pimping on the part of interplay.
-
Deja Vu anybody?

Don't worry red. I don't complain at any mention of FS3 as long as it isn't a question the FAQ answers (like When is FS3 out. Why aren't V making, Let's start a petition! etc.)
-
Well, I'm still trying to figure out a way to get a copy of the re-release to Australia. :)
-
seems like anyone of us registered here can get a copy.
And a good $1.000.000 mil goes to Interplay for all the good they did for us...
Well, the only thing I can't blame them for is that they released SFC, SFC2, SFC2:OP,Freespace and Freespace 2.
--> At least I am willing to give them that much.
It just pains me that it was announced as #3 single-player game of all time, 5 years after it was launched.
Should Interplay have put all its Marketing Clout behind it rather than say... Giants, well, we would at least have a vol. 3 to ***** about....
Damn...

BAH! Forget the rerelease! Real men have ORIGINALS!

I think the HOTU sound files were reduced in quality to save space.

I have the same problem, except I need to get it to Norway.
I was so happy when I realized Interplay was re-releasing FS2 and when I realized they didn't ship outside US, Canada, I wanted to go on a killing spree :)
-
Same here for the UK. :(
Any Americans want to forward a copy to me? All shipping will be payed for, obviously. I'm desperate....
Pleeeeeease?? :)
-
they won't answer emails either. damn interplay.
not that I currently have any money, but still.
-
Any boy want the X missions to test them out? In my sig...
-
I can send ya a BURNED copy Mr. Pyro-Maniac. That is basically what I have... a burned copy of Freespace 2 and all 3 of its disks. I looked on all sorts of stores, no one had it, so Cpt. Ryan just burned it off for me. I can do the same for you, if you would like...
-
BANNED FOR WAREZ[/i][/u]
LOL
-
you know it works better if you put a 'last edited by /mod name here/' at the end of a fake sig
-
FS2 is abandonware...
-
Given how disgustingly easy it is to find a legit copy for sale (http://www.interplay.com/games/product.asp?gameid=540), it's really not abandonware.

now if only they shipped outside US/Canada...
-
Teh Ultimate Meh:
I have the original, not the special version. But it doesnt ship outside of US/Canada, and I'm not going to buy a version of Freespace from Interplay (the bastards) and then ship it off to someone. What is the best solution?
Just give em what you got.
-
hey, read the bloody EULA, you're allowed to make perfect copy's for your friends/relatives, IIRC, AFAIK.

They won't even ship to the UK? Damn, then, Australia has no hope. :p
One of you lot, check if the EULA agreement still applies to the re-release, then send over a copy to Zuljin, pyro and I. :D
-
Put me on that little list too, will ya?
seriously, if one guy sends me a full copy, i'll probably be willing to send anyone a copy if they send me a self adressed envelope.
shipping from holland ain't cheap, though.
