Basically it's an OEM version that was shipped with various Logitech joysticks. It works perfectly in multiplayer AFAIK but it only has the first 10 singleplayer missions.

I also got FS2 Colossus with a Righteous Orchid (Voodoo 2) 16mb Graphics accelerator card, a while ago!

I deleted it before installing the retail,I thought it wasn't possible...

I didn't say that SCP on Colossus was the best way to do things You'd still be lacking Tango2 and 3 (so no comm briefing animations) and you also need to replace the main FS2 campaign file or you still wouldn't be able to play any of the missions after The Sixth Wonder.

Feint! Parry! Riposte!.
Koth wasn't a bad guy...depends on what do you think about his actions...

Yeah FS2C is a lite-version for all intensive purposes. It's stripped down and allows campaigns only, no single-missiosn allowed. Multiplayer works fine from what I hear. It's almost impossible to play user-made games without removing the original campaign.

I had Inferno on FS2C but it got messed up quickly. All ships were replaced, and I ended up having to kill a billion fighters instead of a million cap ships and fighters. It was basically unplayable.

Now that's odd. Colossus has a full copy of Sparky and Sparky_hi IIRC You shouldn't actually need anything else to play FS2 mods. Especially one like Inferno which replaces almost everything.

Not that it's a huge problem really. Everyone should get a full copy of the game rather than playing Colossus if possible.

The problem with Inferno was I didn't have all the ship meshes and textures. The ship-table was incomplete, and Inferno only added on to the ship table.

[karajorma]

Sounds like you only had the SCP update and not the full thing or something. Inferno completed replaced the ships.tbl with its own. As long as you had the main Inferno R1 release (AND the inferno SCP update if you wanted to play on SCP Colossus) I can't think of any real reason why you'd get ship errors if you installed Inferno properly.


The ships table from Colossus is the same as it is for FS2. It has to be or you would get hacked tables messages when playing online.

Ah, whatever! I should get the DVD with the ISO's for FS and FS2 and FSO tomorrow, if not tuesday.

I'll play FS1, Silent Threat, FS2, and then replay it all in FSO. That should get me more comfortable with using mods.
