I think I'll add one of my own... to the listing.  TS is fairly good for that.

I disagree, when I was playing the game I remember thinking that one of the nebulas (Red and purple) seemed blurry. The problem is that it's been enlarged, but no detail added.

the targeting window in bottom left corner of screen, dont look right, not detailed enough, all u see is shape of ship no detailed textures....

in briefing - ship selection bit, the window where it shows u the ship selected, only shows a small part of the ship - and is very pixellated - looks like it just need to be zoomed out lots and lots.

Both of these are engine problems, and the second thing is a known bug.

I find it rather odd that shinemapping doesn't work on Radeon 8500 and 9200's. They are both DX8 compatible.

This includes all of LLs stuff, right?  And there is nothing else I should have right now to make my FS2 look the best it can?  (Minus a new computer)

Well, since the VP was released he's made two more planet images, available in this thread, and thruster glows (With Bobboau) in this thread.

I dl'd this, installed and followed the readme. I went and I played the Derelict mission "Bond of Trust". When I would shoot my lasers, they just didn't appear. I could hear the sound effect, and everyonce in a while the shield hit effect, but no bolts of energy. In addition to that, the thruster glows totally disappeared on the Tritons. Did I do something wrong? I was running this at 16 bit, using the software build.

You're using 32 bit effects but didn't turn them on. The command line is different depending on the version you are using.

Try -32bit, -t32 or -jpgtga until you find one that sticks.

You don't mention downloading FS2_open. I'm assuming you did that too (still you are a newbie and it's easy to miss that and think the launcher does everything).

If that isn't the problem (and you've tried the advice I gave above about trying the -32bit, -t32 or -jpgtga flags) then I think we'll need some more info.

What happens when you start a mission. Does it just look exactly the same? Does it crash? Do you see anything new at all?

Well.....in fact nothing happens! I click on the campaing door and than, nothing. the door open but the mission do not start. It's not crashes... just stay in the same way, unacessable to play the main campaing. But, if I try any canpaing from Lightspeed, it works!

welcome to Hard Light Productions

Exits are to the sides and rear, emergency flamethrowers can be found under the seats. And if you run into a large 5-limbed creature while wandering around in the air ducts, give it your lunch. Hopefully it's just Carl, and he'll leave you be.

That's the media vp. I meant the FS2_open exe. You did realise you needed a new exe right? :)

The New launcher needs to be pointed at a new .exe. Check the FS2_open 3.5.5 thread or the new builds thread for a link.

The .exe doesn't have that name. Have a look for threads with the names I posted above.

EDIT : I'm in a good mood so I'll do it myself.

Get an exe from here (lastest Official Release) or here (Latest bug testing build - Lots of bugs removed - Lots of new ones added :D )
