Play the Vanilla version (aka. the original Freelancer, Discovery doesn't have an ability to play whole campaign as it's disabled in mod).

Remove restart.fl from Freelancer saves in Freelancer\Accts\SinglePlayer .
Those should be in your documents in "My Games", I think. And yes, it is supported on modern PC's, if you want to try to download the widewindow fix for Freleancer, but I prefer playing 1024x768. because it's classic.
Edit: I'm reminding that original Freelancer files in Microsoft Games cannot be used as Disco uses them for stability, it's best if you copy the game files into another folder or to desktop.
Note, using the launcher will cause your saves to be erased. I would highly suggest backing up your saves after each session so in case you play Disco, they don't get erased.
