FWIW, running the fs2_open_3_6_10-20071007T.exe with the -no_glsl option, and environment and normal mapping turned off, vastly decreased load times and seems to have banished in-mission pauses altogether for me.  And it looks a WHOLE lot better than not using the mediavps - which really isn't an option with BluePlanet and some other mods.
Another issue Taylor also knows. Mission loading times have also increased a lot from 3.6.9.

Please perform the tests you can think of.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.
