Hey, is anyone else finding downloading this (ffed3d_v112b_244.zip) a complete nightmare? It never goes faster than say 45kbps, and it never gets beyond say 70% or so without failing. Is there a solution or another download link?Thanks in advance for your help folks.

That Megacity looks great, if that could ever be converted into reality that would be very impressive.

Hi CapoI just retested the download from my machine and download completed successfully with a download rate of 49k-113k per sec.I would recommend getting a download manager/helper like getright or orbit to help you out if your browser is timing out.

Indeed there were, about six of them. The program chose which one to display depending on which kind of ship you owned.I personally prefer the system in D3D, where you can choose your own picture.

Just drag the folder into the model dir of FFE3D.Make sure the folder is named "230"Theres one on mars if you want to see the Eiffel Tower.

The guys over at FFE3D are looking for ideas or sketches,so if you have anything which may fit in withthe game head over to the EG forum.

Im not 100% sure where to post this but hopefully someone here will point me in the right direction, but how do i install the FFED3D onto my system, any help in either endeavour will be much appreciated

[sscadmin]

Actually pretty easy Merrick1. Download the game: http://www.spacesimcentral.com/downloads.php?cat=372. Run the main installer and then the patches (believe I put in a readme)3. Your all set at this point. Now if you want to install some new ships download the ones you want.4. If you read on the download screen it will tell you which folder the new models will go into in your MODELS directory.5. Then start the game and have fun.If I missed anything someone else fill the blanks

Nope, that covers it. Your site is the easiest to use when it comes to getting set up with FFED3D; I've included a link to your downloads page from my site

[CmdrMerrick]

When you say the patches do you mean all the other downloads on the page with FFED3D ?

Sry about that I just remembered I packaged the FFED3D archive with it pre-patched so you don't need to do anything but run the game

[Mojak]

I have a question regarding the downloads for FFED3D on your site:I have installed FFED3D and it runs smoothly, but I found out that for several downloads the skins seem to be missing.For example the new "Turner class" and the "Tube station models 78 227" only contain "model.x" files but no skins.Are the skins simply not done jet or are they somewhere available ([url]http://www.frontierastro.co.uk/[/url] shows you a textured version of the Turner Class for FFED3D)??Thanks in advance,Mojak

You should find all the new ship+textures on th E.g forum here.http://www.elite-games.ru/conference/viewtopic.php?p=2290259#2290259

[CmdrMerrick]

This is just a suggestion but how about someone try to make a ship like we normally see in the Star Trek universe, as i say just a suggestion but would be cool to use something like a runabout or even one of the larger vessels you see

Mojak, those missing textures is that from the newly compiled FFED3D package I just made?

I dont think you would need to make one there should be plenty of Star Trek models on the net,finding one that is the right ploy size might be a bit tricky.Then it would just needto be converted in 3ds (Anyone who just wants to convert some already made models into the game should be able to use the free 30 day trial version of 3ds)[url]http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=13571450[/url] forget that you will also need the plug in to convert the models to the game format.[url]http://www.andytather.co.uk/Panda/directxmax_downloads.aspx[/url] use the setting here.[url]http://www.elite-games.ru/conference/viewtopic.php?t=47373[/url] I'am thinking Babylon 5 mod at some point for the game.

[CmdrMerrick]

Sounds like we got lots in common because im a big fan of B5 as well.....would love to see the White Star in this wonderous game but thanks for the info, im not as big into programming as i used to be but im sure someone will be able to translate some game code into the things both you and i have suggested

[Potsmoke66]

i think we all have our favorit space saga hm? let's start to rebuild the models, yes star trek meshes exists a lot and they are somewhat boring, but if you like to. after the courier/transporter i showed off (it's not finished yet, no animations and im willing to respect that courier and trader are build from the same body), i will start to build a vessel from perry rhodan, something like the CREST. get inspiered by space 1889 and build a "verne" like spacecraft, why not, but not allways enterprise 'til bust.
