Since I've switched from my new computer (2 780 graphics card), the freespace games have been having issues trying to play on the game as neither could start at launch. Is there any recommended solutions to solve it, or I'm stuck to using the old computer to play these wonderful games do to the graphics cards being too new for them

Are you talking about retail Freespace 2? If so, then setting up FSOpen will solve your issue. You're able to play FS1 via the Port, and it's all much better looking and stuff too.

fsoinstaller.com, play on your new computer with your new graphics cards.

Should I have any problems installing Freespace 2 on Win7 64bit from the original cds?  I too have a new video card, an Asus GTX650 Ti Boost.

There is the fsoinstaller.com that General Battuta mentioned or should I use that new installer that's beta 2.0?

[General Battuta]

That is the new installer.

Well I've gotten Freespace 1 and 2 to work thanks to your guy's FSO projects  . Now I have a new issue where War in Heaven mod doesn't seem to start with 3.7.1 BP or any other builds (AOA on the other hand does). If there isn't any solution that pops up to your head, how can I find where the FS2 error logs are so I can send one up for you guys to figure out please. Also, do I have to send the error to the Mantis forums instead of here?

[General Battuta]

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

Results may vary.  It installed fine on my Win7 64-bit rig, but others here have reported issues. with 64-bit OSs.

Here's the code itself telling hopefully what's wrong with War in heaven mod.

[General Battuta]

Looks like you installed Blue Planet to /FreeSpace2/FreeSpace2. Move the Blue Planet folders up to plain old /FreeSpace2.

[Nuke87654]

It works, thank you very much guys for the help!

[Nuke87654]

Now I just got to figure out how to get those cockpit mods to work for my freespace games. I have cockpit mod from the admiral vasudan guy in the Freespace 2 directory and had the -mod cockpitmod on the feature launcher, and another cockpit mod for fsport 3.4 that I placed in the fsport 3.4 even though it said for mediavp 3.12 (figure that since the folder said it was fsport 3.4, that was where I needed to). None of those are able to work for me 

[General Battuta]

Don't place mods in other mods. You're going to use a mod.ini file to chain together the mods you want to use. Someone not sneaking posts from work can explain how.

Cockpit mods will break a lot of stuff in some campaigns.

[Nuke87654]

Got the cockpit mod out and it's on the Freespace 2 directory. However, I would like to know what to do with those two fsport cockpit files? Do I keep them in there or put them out and how do I get these cockpit mods to work?
