Get FS Open Here:

Then download FSPort here:

I would guess that is your best bet if you want to play the original game, complete with SCP enhancements.

The installer should install fsport IIRC.

If it's the actual game, you know, "legal" 'n stuff, with cases and manuals and CDs, go to eBay or something. But if you just want to play, go with Turey's Installer. It's the simple way.

plus, it's completely legal to do it without owning the actually game. Freespace is freeware/open source software, nowadays.

* Lobo slaps Titan around with a large trout

Baka. FreeSpace isn't freeware, nor is it open source. The game engine is open source. The FreeSpace Source Code Project (SCP) develops the engine. And that engine (FSO) is open source. But the actual game is still not freeware. All the models, textures, interface art, voices, sounds, the whole ****... it's still proprietary. The reason why we can have Turey's Installer do all the things it does is because we shut up. We don't go shouting "Woo! FreeSpace is free!" to Interplay. If we keep it down, Interplay doesn't care and we can continue to do this. But if we raise a fuss, they might do some unspeakable things, legalwise.

Sorry, but I'm afraid that FS2 is available only in an analogue download.

Ambassador Kosh · **Reply #11 on:** April 22, 2008, 09:38:23 pm

OK Ive downloaded it...but its taken over 3 hours and its still downloading the needed items and the current KB is 9639 and increasing. Is this normal for my computer ( I have a Windows Vista)

blowfish · **Reply #12 on:** April 22, 2008, 09:43:30 pm

What kind of internet connection do you have? Three hours for 9 megabytes???!!! That's nothing. I don't know how much space a fresh install takes, though i'd estimate it around a couple of gigabytes.

Ambassador Kosh · **Reply #13 on:** April 22, 2008, 09:45:22 pm

Its a modem and the speed is as fast as a DSL can get.

Ambassador Kosh · **Reply #14 on:** April 22, 2008, 09:49:45 pm

Thing is I've extracted it from the inter net and extracted it and now im installing it. And that's what's taking so long

*smirky smirk* j/k.........

Is 9639 the connection speed or the downloaded file size?

That would be a killer connection speed in anything but bytes.

Heh, I recall the days I got MY freespace ( conflict: freespace, as I'm french)

It was in a virgin store in lyon. you know one of those white label boxes. there was the whole saga inside: FS1, silent threat and FS2. Best thing is they were new and yet priced €9. A real bargain.

The only thing I can reproach to my freespace pack is the lack of FS1/ST voice briefs (absent in the french version). The fact that more than half of the silent threat single missions (including the destily of peace) weren't here (they must have had problems in translating), and the fact that FS2 could have sported also the op templar campaign like in the SOTY edition. Otherwise, real smooth (FS2 stayed in english, though. IMO it never got translated).

For those who don't know, the ST single missions and OP templar campaign can perfectly be asked for in the forums. they'll be sent with no problems.

Ok Well after a day of downloading it I f inally get the thing installed, but My computer acts as if it dosent exsist. When it finished downloading I clicked next and the downlaoder went blank, so I hit the exit button scince next was greyed out....

Did I do something wrong?

Sorry about all this, I'm just learning the downloading files and modding games.
