Actually, my comp (the one I'm on now) ran FS2 fairly well, and it actually had one of the original TNT cards. After a while I installed a GeForce 2 Ti, but soon realized that with all the new games coming out I needed to spend more money on a processor and motherboard rather than new graphics cards. On my 3 ghz machine I've got a GeForce FX 5200, it can run anything. That's the machine I plan on installing Half-Life 2 onto.

The problem with being gone so long is being utterly confused. I barely remember how to install ship models anymore.. something about putting the model, texture, and attribute info into a file I could edit in notepad or some such text editor.. I remember that other FS site had a ton of newbie tutorials on all this.. but I forgot the name/location. You know.. the big one.. with the Volition games. Blah. >.>;

models in the Freespace2/data/models folder, textures in the Freespace2/data/maps folder, and table entries in the ship.tbl, weapon.tbl in the Freespace2/data/tables folder

Ah, that's right, thanks . ^^ Yeah, I found my old FS2 folder, it's got all the old models and textures and tables I downloaded, Uni is happy. XD

Unidan! Long time no see, buddy.

Oi vey, it has, hasn't it? Anyways, I've installed Open FS2 with all the new effects 'n stuff and I've just gotta say wow. Cool. Stuff.

[Bobboau]

Nooo idea.. I'm running it on my 3 ghz right now, with FS2 Open installed. With all features on I'm getting 60 fps, it slows down to 55 at times. I'll try installing on the 450 mhz tommorrow.

not to turn this into a SCP thread, but with almost identical specs (geforce mx instead of ti) and w2k caps my framerate before i hit the limit...

[Unidan]

Hey.. do we still have shotguns under the seats? o.o

[Hippo]

yes, no ammo though... there's plasme rifles in the forward lockers, but they can only be opened by [V], an admin, god, or a hyper-intelligent shade of the color blue...

[an0n]

I thought we switched the shotguns for flamethrowers and GridFire™[/u]?

[Ace]

@Ace: I keep bugging Sarny to remove the "tor'h" from my UID, but he's playing hard to get. So I keep spamming his ICQ.

@KT: I see.  Indeed young. *comments on the obscure cheers reference*
