Shame, because those screens are mouthwatering.ĭid you install using the installer? That made it really easy. Maybe later I can fix it so that I can at least play the original game. Now I can't get to the campaign menu without seeing an unavoidable error message. I got it to work at first but got greedy and tried to update those graphics. It is quite a bit of micromanagement though.

The game cannot be played on Insane or completed for that matter, without knowing how to properly use the AI. Much of that comes from one of the FS2 missions, where one of the female AI says that her grandfather died in the battle of one of the final missions of FS1, which some of us can completely refute, because we remember purposefully saving all of our friendly AI in that mission. The true shining colors of the AI however, is the extensive ordering scheme, and if you know how and when to use it, the AI becomes a tool much much powerful than what you yourself can do, and many of us old school players actually take pride in managing to depart all of them without a single loss at the end of a mission. The only problem is that there is x30 the enemy as how many friendly AI there is, and they lose hull integrity, while the enemy AI always jumps in with 100%. It's a paradox to insult one, because as you do so, you're commending the other that kills it. Technically, you can't really fault the friendly AI for getting rampaged by the enemy AI. There may be a mod out there that makes them smarter, because it certainly wouldn't take much. Don't think of them as wingmen, think of them as shiny things to attract enemy fire while you do most of the work.

That is to say, they're good at dismantling capships, but poor at dogfighting. They're surprisingly good at following orders, but it seems like they're intentionally incompetent as to give the player the feeling of being more important. That's not luck, that's your wingmen being retards. Played a few missions of FS2, and I have a rather disturbing tendancy to be the only survivor of a mission.this luck cannot last.
