Disco mod and FLMM

[Sava]

I wonder, why Discovery mod doesn't work with the Mod Manager?

I liked the way it was before - players could install the mod over their localized FL installations; they could easily switch between Disco and other mods.

The FLMM-compatible mod is, no doubts, way more newbie-friendly.

Edit: Also, FLMM offered such feature as turning off planets rotation, which I miss.

FLMM does have bugs, and there can be errors when copying mod files or activating/deactivating mods. By having our own installer, you can then use FLMM for other mods on your primary Freelancer installation which won't affect your Discovery installation.

I would find the opposite to be true. The installer is a self-contained step-by-step processes.

From the perspective of someone who has never modded Freelancer before, the installer is the best way to go. For modding veterans, FLMM isn't any more difficult to grasp and it does offer some unique features, but it doesn't keep your vanilla game installation intact.
