I have no idea if this is related to the OPs troubles, but I found it problematic to install FM8 under Windows 7 as well. I think the issue was that I wanted to install it in another folder than the default one. If I interpret things correctly, FM8 …

2 mails and 3 days later I finally got my registration code from Steve Jackson Games, registered my copy of FM at NBOS and got my access code. However, when I logged in, downloaded and tried to install the 8.10f update, I was told that no copy of FM…

I triple-checked and there was no registration code, so I will email them, as you suggested.

Mark, since you refer a lot to what I have written, I feel the need to answer and clarify a few things. First of all, I don't mind if the designers feel that the functionality I want are better served with an add-on! At the beginning of my (st…

While i was busy writing this long post, Ed has chimed in, so I want to address him first: Thank you for answering, Ed, but what I need is not the fancy heightfield look of FWE - although that is really nice! - but the ability to create and view my …
