Title: Mods to start with
Post by: snarfy on January 29, 2005, 12:48:01 pm

Hey, could you guys tell me about some good, easy-to-install mods/skins etc for FS2? I want to play through the official campaign with the best graphics out there, and then get into the community campaigns.

Thanks!

First, get the official 3.6.5 build.

Second, download Lightspeed's Shine Packs that he's working on.  Their about as good as it gets right now.

Also, depending on you're gfx card you can probably get the hi-poly ships pack.  There should be links somewhere in the SCP forum...

Performance isn't a problem -- a 9800xt should be able to handle whatever Fs2 mods can throw its way

The media VPs are community updated. They get an overhaul around when a major build is released.
