Just wanted to say thanks for this -- I own Freespace 1 and 2 on disks and could not get them to work on windows 7 64 bit. I brought both from GOG and they work fine. :) But then I found this link and used the Noob friendly install guide at http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=61606.0 -- Now the game runs in 1920*1080 and the models look amazing. -- I can't get my acceleration to bind to my joystick - other than that i'm having a blast. I see to remember having some problems with the acceleration binding to the joystick acceleration lever when i first played Freespace 2 years ago. As an ADDED BONUS - you can use FS2 open to play Freespace 1 and it's expansion in the much more eye candy FS2 engine Plus a couple of user made campaigns. Buy FS1 on GOG to keep it all legal and enjoy!
