there seems to be quite a few projects ongoing.

So here Iam I want Freespace 2 to look and sound its very best so what mods do I need to download and is there a specific order I need to install them and will they support my widescreen monitor.

Hope somebody can help

This one will.

Anyway, welcome man. It's always (well, usually) nice to see some new usernames floating around.

. They actually have to buy it now? :(

Post by: Galemp on October 07, 2008, 05:56:52 pm: Yep. In truth that was the point of the installer. We're trying to show that not only is there an interest in FS, but that people will pay for it. And if people pay, then the developers can get paid... to make more.

They do not. Period. Each campaign/mod is considered to take place in its own continuity.
