Title: Not what I expected
Post by: Locutus of Borg on July 13, 2007, 04:38:42 pm: I downloaded FS2 and was told I'd get the full version with scenes and mods.

I got FS2, no scenes and if you're more than 100 units from something it looks like a ****ing cube, no matter what shape it is.

on top of that, no mods.

I FEEL LIKE VENTING MY RAGE

Enter main hall, press F2, go to Detail at the top and raise your Model Detail level. If nothing happens, then I have no idea what your problem is.

:wtf:

No matter what shape it is? What if it's a sphere? Is it still a cube?

First problems that come to mind is perhaps ,

1. The download was interrupted or corrupted for some reason or other. (Has happened to me before)
2. The installation didnt work properly.

Try re-downloading and re-installing. Might seem tedious and annoying, but it seems like a possibly solution.

NO! IIRC, he's already done that, several times. We need to know what the problem is, not say, "Hey, reinstall and hope it works" over and over.

I launched FS2 on the FS2 launcher instead of the SC launcher, sorry for the worry.

Now that qualified as "Not what I expected." Very fitting for this topic.
