I'm just about to play this game again after many years. but I just thought to myself - joystick or dual shock joypad? I've played using the joystick years ago, but is a joypad better?

Mouse+keyboard is implemented really well in FS2 - it's lush

Hmm, well just installed on the system in my sig with Vista business 64-bit, and am getting "Not enough memory error".

It says I have -2mb memory and it requires 32mb.... anyone know how I can get around this?

Google in't helping me find a soltion or an update that may fix it.

Have tried installing patch, but I think the version I have is already patched to 1.2 cause it tells me no older fil was found.

Try running the SCP mod for starters.

even tho i couldnt get it to work the battlestar galactica mod looked good.

Got it working. There was a collection of new .exe's and launcher, and installed openAL driver and its now running :-)

Just got to figure out how to install mods, etc now.

very fond memories of Freespace 2.

Sooo tempting to play it again. But I just know I will lose a whole week of my life doing so

I have never seen a similar game anywhere near as good as FS2. Missions were always really in-depth and you never knew what was going to happen.

*** Spoiler *** [Highlight to view]

I especially love the under cover missions flying around in a Shivan Mara fighter [awesome ship btw!] and being stuck in the middle of a massive congregation of Shivan Juggernaughts.

Me: "aww crap..."

I have also heard a rumour that if you get to the rank of Admiral you can order capital ships about! I think you need to play it like 10 times through though :eek:

Hiho Sirius.

Ever get any luck with another 4play lan? Looked like you did a decent job for your first event (god knows ours was stressful). There's been a couple of new LANs spring up lately too - Apache. Le fun

Absolutely loved CF/CF2. Fred and Lanplay extended that game so much aswell.

It looked amazing, but I thought it was never actually finished? The intro movie is..wow.
