Installation Notes
To install Discovery mod, use Freelancer Mod Manager v1.31. If you already have an earlier version of Discovery installed (4.73 or higher) and don't want to use FLMM, you may simply overwrite files in Freelancer game folder. Just rename Discovery4.77.zip.flmod into Discovery4.77.zip, unzip archive contents to your game folder and overwrite files. IONCROSS folder is needed only for server operators, so you needn't copy that one to game folder (but - no harm if you do).
While reinstalling Freelancer, using FLMM to install Discovery is essential.
Reinstalling Freelancer while updating Discovery is not necessary. However if you encountered problems or just want to make sure that everything is correct, better spend 5 minutes and reinstall the game.
