this is probably a very noob question, but how exactly do I get freespace open to work? what exactly do I need to download and where to put it?

thanks in advance!

a question here: are you Edfinho from CIC forums?

[castor]

- Have FS2 retail installed and updated to v 1.20
- Download and run the FSO 3.6 installer here:

+ If you want to play multi, read the FS2NETD related threads in this forum.

they contain updated textures, glow maps, various enchatments.

I warn you however, not to use media VP supplied with 3.6. It is too bug ridden, if you know what I mean...

[Avenger_UG]

thank you for the very quick responses.
I can't wait to try FS_open!

Make sure you note the part in the 3.6 post about the engine failure bug. It only happens if you play 'Very Easy', but it's caused a lot of confusion.

and do not forget to download specular maps and new weapons effects

I'm getting normal functioning from FS2_Open with 1.00. Since the 1.20 update was hosted on PXO, if it's not already mirrored on warpcore or somewhere else I'm missing.... we should probably get it out there, or possibly even include it in the next version of the installer.

If you try to play 1.0 on Fs2NetD it will not work, however.
