I'm not sure I understand? Do you mean 'what is the game setting about?' or 'what is the file?'
The file itself is a WINZIP (*.ZIP) file that you need to extract using the WINZIP utility... If you need it, WINZIP 8.0 is available at
http://www.winzip.com Once youi've un-ZIPped it, place the *.VP file in your FREESPACE directory (
NOT FREESPACE/DATA, repeat; it will not work if you place the .vp in your DATA folder. It also will not work if you have any MODded files in your DATA directories (esp tables)) and read the README and ABOUT THIS TC text files. A quick note about the README; it predates the existance of the *.vp file so some of its information may be incorrect (any references to any DATA folder should be taken to mean the *.vp itself).
Ohhh yeah... one last thing, there have been two versions of the *.VP file made, 011 and 012. Do not use 012, it's broken. if you have the 012 file (betaFS2SF012.vp) delete it and get the 011 file. when the 2nd build was made the VPCS had a brainfart and placed critical components of the mod in a BS folder called 'blank' (why is anybody's guess). If you have 012 and need 011 I've already deleted 012 from my homepage and stuck 011 back in its place.
Hope I answered your question.
