Hello there.
I finally got Freespace and Freespace 2 and I've been reading a lot of stuff but there's so much that I'm really confused and need some serious help.
1. What do I need to get Freespace 2 running at it's max? I've read about registry edits and some other stuff. Could someone tell me what is recomeneded after a clean install of Freespace 2? I got the 3cd version. I'm not looking for any additional mods. Just anything the improves the actual game since i've never played it before.
2. Freespace 1 only runs at 640 res. Now I've come accross a mod that lets you play Freespace 1 in the freespace 2 engine. Should I use that? Is that stable? And there are also lots of other addons for that mod. Which should I use and which should I not use?
If anyone could provide me with a small tutorial on how to get started that would be great. I really want to get started as this seems to be a great game but I would like to get the max out of it.
Thanks

Check my FAQ for an installation guide. It should explain how to get FS2_Open working at it's best for someone like you :)

AMD 2800XP
1GB RAM
ATI X800 256MB

I have the official 3cd version. Or should I just download the torrent posted on this board that includes everything already?

The torrent makes installation easier but it shouldn't be that hard. You download some files into one folder and some other files into another.
Read the installation guide in my FAQ. If it sounds complicated then go with the torrent.
