This article is nice. Helps people know what to do right away with their FS2 to make it become FSO, so that's good. A nice perspective on FSO from a layman's view, so to say, and we definitely should appreciate it. At least, I do.
Yet there's a couple friendly corrections that I'd like to mention here (since I'm pretty conservative with the amount of forums and sites I register on): MediaVPs mod is the way to go for everyone to replay the retail FS2 campaign, and it's a very old concept, yet constantly upgraded - two weeks ago was when the latest version of the mod surfaced, with a bunch of new splendid assets. Also, retail FS2 is actually very playable with FSO and MediaVPs, it just tends to pale in comparison with many user made campaigns.
One thing I think should be shown in the article are the screenshots of the latest FS2 warships added into MVPS - Hecate, Deimos, Aeolus. They're awesome and people should see them.
