It was at maximum. :wtf:
It shouldn't be showing such a low LOD at that distance...
I bet that really is the best FS1 could offer :P

Didn't FS1 offer glow maps under software rendering?

no, it had a ship table entry line that would make any number of single colors on the texture glow

It did? I don't remember that... I remember something weird which I never had any idea what it meant, though...

Nope that'd be LOD1 or 2 or something lower....

LOD0 looked better than that.

That only works in GLIDE mode though.

As for the grahpic glitches, I also encountered that in D3D mode on some newer cards. You could try running the game with a GLIDE wrapper.

Buy FreeSpace 2, then download FSO and FSPORT

:)
It ain't the same.

True. The muddy graphics of Fs1 get lost in the translation. Retail was a lot darker and had a bleaker atmosphere, but one can remedy that with launcher settings.

FS1 was one of the first computer games I ever played, and I think that FSPort is very authentic, especially with the interface art ported over at long last.
