Start Up FS Open Questions and Thanks
OK< I loaded FS Open with Turey's installer, thanks to all for that and all this effort.

Several quick questions....

how do you start up FS1! I did not see it listed on the campaigns?  And are there suggested settings or a FAQ for the settings for things like the Glow Maps, Mipmapping, if one such as I do not know what all of those mean? Default settiings for a newer upper range system (AMD 3400 2.6 Ghz~0 400 GB HDrive, 2.5 RAM, FX6600, Audigy 2ZS, 64 bit system) and btw, will teh super high quality effects for for my system in the opinion of those experienced in all of this?  I very much appreciate the incredible effort to inhance these classics, and appreciate in advance any help on my humble questions. thanks. I have been working to get all of this set up for some time, life and challenges have delayed me .....i just was able to run thorugh all the ship, weapon and intel briefings and next step is flight training, but i was hoping to study the training offered in FS1 but did not see how to get fS1 port running...thanks

I do own the original retail discs of both FS1 and the add on campaigns ( I was wondering what the Secret Files were on that one....) and FS2, so I built my FS Open install using Turey's installer on top of retail installs and can run the training missions from the FS1 install I still have, but wondered if it is possible using the port...thanks.

And I do very much appreciate help so generously given by many here in the community during my preparation and run up to this point, I have been slow in getting going due to work contraints and being tied up with some medical challenges over the past several years, and a heavy work load that has left me very limited time to give to this, so I waited until I could do it right. I am happy to do my homework, so suggestions and pointing to FAQ's and where to do my study will be very much appreciated. :)

Hmm.. So you have FS Open installed.. Run the FS Open launcher (launcher.exe) and once it starts go to 'Mod' tab. Select the folder where the FreeSpace Port has been installed to. Then start the game (click run) and create a new pilot, choose the campaign and that should do it.
Do not meddle in the affairs of coders for they are soggy and hard to light

Excellent, thanks so much, I thought maybe that was what it might be, but wanted to ask, sorry for such a newbie question but I just did not know, thanks again

<yep, tried that and it worked like a charm, had to go to the installer exe and to the tabs and to the mod tab and selected the folder for fsport and it started right up, bingo. thanks a lot.
