Title: FSA basic instruction
Post by: TrevorNoah on May 14, 2019, 09:28:51 am

Would someone be able to give me some basic instruction on FSO. I dug out my old FS2 discs and the game runs even on my modern windows 10 system. I installed it on an HDD separate from my SSD/windows drive. I also downloaded and ran FSO and installed a lot of stuff. It never asked me to point to where FS2 is installed though. Is that normal? If I want to play FS2 with the FSO mods do I run it through the desktop shortcut for FS2 or is there an FSO file I need to be using instead? I am not 100% sure how the parts fit together here. Thanks!

Download Knossos, Knossos will do everything. We really need to make the old FSO installer point to Knossos.

Click here to go to the Knossos page. It's also available at the top navigation bar all the way on the right. (https://fsnebula.org/knossos/)

The stuff on the wiki is almost entirely pre-Knossos, it should be updated because right now almost everything is only on the forum but I'm not an expert on that topic.

The support FAQ and FSO release post still recommend wxLauncher and don't mention Knossos.
Would anyone be opposed to changing that?

**** NO. I just didn't knew what to write there as I'm not qualified on that topic. But I'd suggest to keep it available on a separate page, so that it isn't lost entirely.
