I'm seriously considering replaying Iwar2 again while I wait for X2. I just don't know how much I'm going to enjoy it without a decent stick and throttle.

i've always used a keyboard for i-war2. i'm a competent pilot i think

Yeah, but Phreak, if you're used to a full HOTAS setup, going to keyboard or Keyboard-and-crappy-ass-gravis-garbage is hard to do. Its like... It like... going from a Ulysses to a Boanerges--or in this case, going from an AdPat to a Command Section. Keyboard and crappy stick or keyboard only feels like you're seperated from your ship. That's why I really didn't like Freelancer: that sense of disconnection, like you're not really in control.

I guess its a sort of control-based snobbery.

heh. only if models coverted smoothly from FS2 to IW2. then there would be some REAL fun

The models will convert easily. ITs the beams and some of the missiles that won't convert.

Of course, no one wants to fly a Freespace ship with newtonian physics. (except you and me anyway)

don't count me out

what about the maps in the conversions? the only FS2 ship I've seen, the apollo, didn't have maps.

mik: the texture mapping gets screwed going from cob to lwo

mikhael · **Reply #47 on:** November 10, 2003, 02:58:27 pm

Bah. That's a matter of reapplying the textures. You can't do simple, easy conversions. But conversions can be made.

said the man who never shown me a single pic of the Iwar2 version of my arcadia

mikhael · **Reply #49 on:** November 11, 2003, 12:39:10 pm

It had issues, Venom.

Your Arcadia and I just don't get along.

Nico · **Reply #50 on:** November 11, 2003, 06:35:57 pm

Well, I know

It was done for freespace2, so I had to use, mmh... some unspeakable (

) tweaks to have it look fine and still work ingame

I would have to redo it, I'd do it completly differently.

mikhael · **Reply #51 on:** November 12, 2003, 09:23:47 am

Yeah, I've got more experience and wisdom now. I could probably make it work. If I was still doing any Iwar2 modding, that is.

Maybe I should get back into it.
