Some months ago I downloaded Freespace 2 and the bitch needed a joystick. I liked Freelancer's control scheme.

Thanks for all the replies  I definitely will be checking out some of the games mentioned. Its too bad that Freelancer 2 was canceled. I've even seen an online petition for it. You would think MS would see that there is some money to be made with making another Freelancer. Especially since 20159 people signed the petition.
Hard Truck: Apocalypse looks right up my alley
Can Vista run Freelancer? |
Freelancer 1 i believe was meant to be a MMO, which pretty much explains why there will be no part 2 (but then we can always hope) and also goes a long way to explain the games structure.
i played this game ALOT, and love it, but i recently tried to play again and could not stomach it anymore, its just so damned dull after awhile and there is not enough to do.
maybe you should try a mod for it, are there any big mods for single player?
i cant really recommend any games like Freelancer, and its not because i have not looked! there is nothing available with the excellent mouse control. the best replacement i found was EVE online, but the problem with that game is its like having a second job imo. not very casual.
other games i looked into were: freespace 2 (needs controller, older graphics, hard to find), IW2 (ok game, graphics are ok), Darkstar One (didnt get into it, needs controller, felt like a console game), EVE Online (excellent game but a HUGE timesink, control is point and click), Tachyon: The Fringe (voicework by Bruce Campbell, older) game). X3 imo is SLOW, boring, runs like dogshit, and the combat simply sucks.

It's very much worth it. There really is no better space based shooter around. The game being open source now also means the community updated the graphics and all to modern standards.

Hard Truck: Apocalypse seems fun, the only issue I'm having with it is that the process won't quit if you exit via the in-game menu. Therefore the graphical settings won't stick either, so I have to set them again every time & I can't edit the cfg file for a proper widescreen resolution.

I'm lucky, I've never played Freelancer.

I played Freespace 2 from start to finish just fine with a mouse, so much so I wouldn't use a joystick, crazy precise shots ftw. You will have to pan a bit with the mouse, but I assure you its fully playable with mouse.

That's bizarre :-\
Are you running from a proper installed ISO or CD? No rip? Checked that the files aren't set to read-only? Running on Vista, tried XP compat mode (I don't need compat for Vista, but you never know)

I've been playing Hard Truck and it's quite fun. Wish there would be more missions, is the sequel any better?

It's not really a sequel, as such, more just a follow-up with a different "protagonist"
Oh and yes, it's better. Tons more missions, trucks, items, weapons, etc.
