When I load up the new FRED build it comes up with error saying - no briefing icon.

Main problem is that all missions done or saved in new Fred build are not able to load through fs2-open.

Any ideas or is there a new build of fs2-open to match with new Fred build??

what fs2-open build are you using... this fred build is off the same codebase as the latest fs2 open build

note: the latested numbered buiild 3.5.5 which is EONs old and way out of date and the latest working builds are dated 4-4-04

Downloaded and installed the new fs2-open. Missions now working fine but my frame rate on both of my pc`s and my laptop have become almost unplayable.

Any Ideas or am I doing something wrong?

I downloaded your new fs2-open build dated 5 april 2004, its sorted the problem out now and is running mint, but The lighting has changed to ambient, no matter if i put a normal sun on there is now no realistic lighting. Any more ideas??

Open the launcher, select the "Flags" Tab and add a custom flag called "-ambient_factor 90".
You can adjust the intensitiy of the ambient light , but 90 gives a good balance.

EDIT: Oh, and make sure you checked the "-spec" box
