Title: Parsec ships in FS2?
Post by: bizzybody on August 25, 2006, 07:39:22 pm

Would it be possible to import the ships from Parsec to FS2? Not this Parsec* (http://www.videogamehouse.net/parsec.html) but this one (http://www.parsec.org).  :lol:

Parsec went open source back in 2003, and since then _nothing_ has been done to it, still no internet playable release even though they had an 8 player in-house beta version. What you can download is a LAN only version.

So *pfft* on it, I just think the ships and weapons are cool and would be cool in FS2.

*The ship on the box art is nifty, especially the big-arse beam cannon in its nose.

Might be possible. Depends on what type of model files they use. Do you know?

Don't know about Parsec's models or textures formats. I'd have to download it again on dialup and then I wouldn't know what to look for.

There's a summon command you can use to make any ship or pod pop in right in front of you so it can be flown around and looked at (or picked up or shot at). Or just use the external camera to get a nice look at the ships.

Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Mac OS X. A lot of the bulk is the really good music.
