Under DosBox like all good old games? It can actually improve the performance too.. Tested descent 2 demo under win XP and it was stuttering no matter what i tried and almost completely unplayable.. Tested under dosbox run on the very same machine it run like dream - even got sounds to work that way.

Hi All!

I'm new to Freespace as I finally bought a x52 joystick so I could play my mechwarrior properly (totally amazing after all these years on a mouse) but started looking for space combat simulators and found this and thought "WOW" wouldn't this be great for an aerotech TC. Though I have no experience with modding(moddling) etc. I started looking into doing a mod myself as I didn't find anything on the various forums about it... should have guessed there'd be something out there... finally found this thread.

I see the last post in it was like almost a year ago, so I'm wondering if anything more has been done on the mod/TC, if its still going...

Also, I would like to help if there is anything I can do, I'd love to see an aerotech game out there.

Many thanks,

Corsair. :nervous:

So please let me know...

I hope it was alright to post in here, I don't usually post so not sure whats ok...

Because it was originally about the feasibility of a Battletech mod for FS2.

That being said, it rightly belongs in Modding...which is where it shall be shortly.

What a BT/AT Mod? When will it be done? ^_^

Would be nice to see something like that. There are a lot of different ships and fighters in the Technical-Readouts. Also quite a number of different weapons and it would be a pretty unused scenario.

The original MW2 (Mercenaries) was for PC and IS pov... Most awesome of all...

Ehrm.. The Original MW2 was "31-st Century Combat" Also known as "The Clans". Mercs was a stand-alone expansion.

I'm sorry we didnt :/
That's why progress is so slow. Right now we have 2 Fighters finished and in-game and 2 more coming up soon.

Stand alone or not I never heard of regular MW2...  :lol:
I just saw the trailer for it though.
Was it any good?

But this version is the one I like best:

Yeah, regular MW2 was a little better than Mercs, largely due to cleaner graphics.

That's unfortunately not the case if you get the updated Titanium Trilogy edition, which makes everything vaguely ugly (Mercs-style) again.
