First off, the setup went great (I had to download DevIL.dll, ILU.dll and ILUL.dll. but I found those pretty easily), but when I try to play, it'll get to the pilot screen, I choose a pilot, it pops a warning saying this pilot wont be able to go back to the original game, I press OK, the game crashes and I get an error report, nothing else.
Now I downloaded all the .vp files and put them into the folder I made (a thread told me to do so) called mediavps, ok, this time when I launch it takes me to a screen with the FS2 SCP icon, but freezes there and does nothing, the computer continues running, but this screen won't minimize and nothing will stack on top of it.
Now, to be honest, this game isn't from the original disks, though I DO own them, I bought them 7 years ago and in my complete ignorance for taking care of disks they became badly damaged and now refuse to install, so I torrented this version (I KNOW of read somewhere that this is perfectly legal since I legally own the disks, and I can do this as a backup.)
Any help at all is appreciated.
