Procure and install Freelancer. Easy Peasy.
If you already have FL installed, I recommend blowing it completely away and doing it from scratch.
Go HERE: http://www.crossfire.swat-portal.com/?page_id=41515
And get the FLMM 1.3... install it BEFORE the mod.
Grab the 1.9 client, install it, make sure it installs into the FLMM folder.
Now, run FLMM, check 1.9 mod (and nothing else) and install it.
Once you run it, get into the game and then just exit. (I did read that you need to turn off 3D sound, but that may be for an earlier version... I turned it off)
Now you have to edit a few files to get widescreen working (Just ctrl+c/ctrl+v them to back them up first):
1) Go to My Documents\My Games\Freelancer and open prefoptions in notepad. At the bottom it will say [Display] and underneath size= change it to 1920, 1080. Note the space in between the 1920, 1080. Now save and exit.
2) Now go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA . Once there open cameras in notepad
Delete whats there and paste the following.
[WinCamera]
fovx = 63.504809977813375
[CockpitCamera]
fovx = 90
znear = 2.000000
[ChaseCamera]
fovx = 90
[DeathCamera]
fovx = 90
Now save and exit.
3) Now go to C:\program files\microsoft games\freelancer\EXE . Once there open freelancer in notepad.
At about the 9th line down it says size change it to size = 1920,1080 ,or what ever resolution you are using.
Now save and exit.
4) Now go C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\FONTS .Once there open fonts in to notepad. Now delete all whats there and paste the following.

Now you are all done any ready to play in 1920×1080. Note the in game options will state the wrong resolution but it will be in 1920×1080. Also, for this to work you must enter in to space (lift off) once for the new resolution to take effect.
