Hi first off  Now, all the information Ive been able to gather about this is "FS2 Source"  "FS2 Source"  "FS2 Source"...

...think you could add an 'about' section on the front page of your website? Because those 2 words I know about this site intrigue me...

Thanks

Good call. Missed the "about section" on the new site

From the wiki

FS2_Open / the SCP / Source Code Project

From the time it became apparent that there would be no FS3 the most repeated complaint the community had was that Volition wouldn't release the source code so that the community could work on it themselves. However Volition did eventually release the source code and many of those within the community with programming experience got to work on it. The result was FS2_open. The project to make FS2_open has come to be known (originally enough) as the Source Code Project (SCP).

FS2_open is not FS3. Instead it is a replacement for the Freespace 2 engine. The idea is that by running FS2_open you can play the Freespace 2 main campaign and all the Freespace 2 mods with better graphics. In addition to this improvements have been made to several of the games basics to add new kinds of weapons and missions that couldn't be done before. These effects won't show up in the main campaign but will show up when special "Made for SCP" mods begin to appear.

The differences between FS2 retail and FS2_open are breathtaking. It is almost like playing a new game. Details on where to get hold of FS2_Open and how to install and run it can be found here

I added a modified version of that to the SCP site.

It's too good to put in words.

Search for screenies, play it, and see for yourself
