Hi everyone!

I'm a new fan of FS. I've only make a single mission with FRED.
I thought I can continue and make a little campain but I can't. Simply, because I don't know, how I can make my own weapons and ships.

As I saw, many fans have make their own and enable everyone to try them and use them in new mission.  

After a little search, I didn't see one thread who explain how to create something and with which programs. I've only saw tips exchange between experienced people.

May be I'm blind or stupid! But it'll be a good thing, if someone make one thread for the begginers in FS. A thread who explain where to find best programs and how to use them or a link to some tutorials.

theres a little button that says [From the past 30 days] in the corner of the little forum box, switch it to [From the Beginning] and look on the very first pages, you might find stuff there

Here you'll find eveything you need to know about modding, and modding programs, I think anyway.

 you could wait for karajorma to come and give you his FAQ in his sig.

EDIT: here we are, hope this helps some.

EDIT : JD beat me too it and said almost everything I had to say

Both of those links he gave you should help you a lot. (you'll find GE's VPView tutorial which I link to in the FAQ/Oracle especially helpful for making new weapons).

[kasperl]

whatever you do, look at the SCP pages. that stuff allows you to do a lot more with game, and it has pretty images to top it off.

And welcome to HLP, Otacon.

Flamethrowers are under the seats...

How does this go?

[Unknown Target]

The exits are to your left and right. Flamethrowers are under your seats, but they  are sometimes filled with water. If this occurs, please check the lockers for the old shotguns.
Stay away from the admin's weapon lockers and the air vents. If you see a large, insectoid-looking creature inhabiting the latter, throw him a large piece of meat (preferably not yourself), and he will leave you alone.
Thank you and have a nice day!

Yeah, the Shivan is Carl. We all seem to have our own views of things. But anyway, thanks for covering me...

[Otacon]

Hello!

Thanks everybody.
Know I'll visit all links, one after one.
I'm sure, I'll have some questions. So take y look to this thread sometimes.

I thought that was the point

Looking back, it seems I was here before beaming became common practice.  Anyone know when it started?

[adwight]

I don't remember, and I've been here for a while, I just realized....

[Otacon]

Hello.

What is the source code exactly?

[kasperl]

click the link under my name and go to the FSO part in the top section, or the SCP part a little lower. read.

[Otacon]

Ok.

I saw that everyone have FS2 here. But not me and I can't find it in stores.
Do someone know if I can download it from internet?

[karajorma]

Sadly you're out of luck there. FS2 used to be available for download at the Home of the Underdogs site but when Interplay re-released it HotU pulled it rather than risk legel problems.

AFAIK Interplay still have copies available at $50 each but they only ship to the USA.

I've heard rumours of other FS2 rips available on the various file sharing networks but you're on your own there.

[Otacon]

Hello!

Huh... So I can only buy and pay extra for air transport if I want get it?
It doesn't matter, I should fine another way.

If I have the FS2 demo, can I upload it to have the complete game?
