The Battlestar Galactica mod/total conversion of Freespace 2 now has a stand-alone demo available for download. (380MB) You don't need Freespace 2 installed to play the demo. There's a Mac version also available and a Linux version shortly forthcoming. http://www.game-warden.com/bsg/ It's a pretty impressive mod; artwork's very nice, and the sound/VO is surprisingly top-notch for a mod project. The flight engine incorporates some newtonian flight characteristics. Flying a Mark VII Viper feels kinda like I-War's remote fighters- but not as wild and hard to control. Three missions in the demo, and I still haven't been able to complete the last one after a half-dozen tries. It's worth a look. The chances of getting an actual Battlestar space- sim nowadays are slim and none, but this project seems to be well on the right track. Sat

Cheers for the heads up however, sounds like it could be a blast! Ceo-

Thanks for the links, the website is back up and running now too. Must've just been a temporary outage last night. Looks very impressive! Ceo0
