Add to that point that most of the biggest fans of the Wing Commander IP may have "aged out" of a lot of PC gaming. Take me for example - I'm 34. I turned *one year old* a day before WC1 released in 1990. I joined this forum in 2003 when I was 14 and at that point, every official WC title except...
I seem to remember there's a bug that if you have a target locked and are in anything but forward cockpit view, the lock won't break regardless of the distance. In forward cockpit view, you normally lose lock around 20 klicks. Because it doesn't drop the lock in the alternate views, the targets...
Have you tried any compatibility steps beyond the open GL patch? My next recommendation would be to right click on the executable and run it in Windows XP compatibility mode.
There's a whole host of monitors in Primary Flight Control (Pri-Fly) and the Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC) showing the status of various aircraft flying around the ship.
In CIC, there are several overhead status screens and then a bunch of individual consoles. There's even a big...
Another thing to try - go into control panel -> devices and printers -> game controllers ->
(Note - these steps are for Windows 10 - it may be slightly different on 7 but if you search "game controllers" in control panel, you should find it.
Ensure that windows sees your joystick - if not I...
@Destro - I had a thought. You pulled the audio from the Sega CD for Wing Commander 1. If the community got together to record lines, would it be possible to add voice calls in for SM1/SM2 and WC2?
So it's counterintuitive, but the difficulty setting in WC:SO (and all it's derived games, including Standoff) affects the skill of both the enemies **and your wingmen**. It's actually easier on Hard or Nightmare because your wingmen skills also improve and the Confed ships are generally tougher...
Destro this is awesome! One thing I would add for the WC2 section is the steps for folks to get SO1/SO2 from the CIC webpage - those expansions also didn't come with Kilrathi Saga: https://www.wcnews.com/wcpedia/Special_Operations
Steps should be near identical to SM1/SM2 download: put the...
