Bill,
thanks for your input there. I ordered my copy of Gold yesterday but it's currently out of stock - it may be that the master has been updated, though I doubt it, but I'll see when it arrives. Think I'll stick to using XP for X3, since there are still a lot of Vista "features" that I hated showing in the RTM of Win7.
Gary,
thanks for those links. Yesterday, I downloaded a copy of Plugin Manager but I see you're using the Lite version, so, perhaps a stupid question, what's the difference between the two versions ?
One thing I particularly wanted was a link I found at the bottom of the first post in the thread in your last link - a list of ship download URLs at -
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=274276
And another possibly stupid question - most, if not all ships, have what looks like a ranking annotation by the side of the name from M1 to, I think, M7. Is there somewhere that explains what these codes mean in simple English ?
Finally, two key questions, if you don't mind. When my disc arrives and I first install X3TC, is there anything I need to do that isn't listed in the "destructions". I'm thinking FSX here, like doing a defrag before I even start the program, or making a flight between installing FSX and one of the SPs.
Should I start up that steep learning curve before I install any mods, or is there anything that I really need to add to the basic install before I start using it ?
Thanks again, guys,
Ro
