    After Action Report: Tora! Tora! Tora! (May 30, 2025)

    Such an awesome movie. One of my favorites. History Buffs on YouTube did a fantastic overview on the actual history and what the movie got right that's worth checking out. Though he didn't mention the fact that all the Zeros are T6 Texan training aircraft since there weren't many of the...

    Enhancement Patches for Wing Commander III and IV

    Thank you for the info! Just a guess, but I'm starting to think it's because proton detects my joystick under dinput but not xinput. Trying to figure out what I can do to get that to work. [EDIT] No it's not that :( Did some trickery with dumbxinputmeu and wine now recognizes the...

    Enhancement Patches for Wing Commander III and IV

    Finally found time to give these new patches a try on my linux machine. Unfortunately while everything else runs great, the configuration applet doesn't seem to detect my usb joystick which is utterly odd. Like Kevin, I generally have to use a proton build for it to work. The joystick on...

    under the radar games that I think you wingnuts might like

    Doesn't seem like there is any relation, but I find the idea amusing that this would be a continuation of the classic kids adventure games "Elroy Goes Bugzerk" and "Elroy hits the Pavement"

    GOG Launches Preservation Program with Wing Commander Discounts (November 13, 2024)

    Emulation and compatibility software are always in a state of motion. You were always better using GOG to get the main game files and setting it up yourself. I haven't used base dosbox in over a decade. Also, I don't view an issue with ancient dosbox as a broken game. Setting things up has...

    WC3 DosBox -- Afterburner TAB key solutions ?

    Simplest solution is to get a joystick. If you love space sims, it probably wouldn't be too far out of your way or set you back too much. I love my Thrustmaster T16000m. Have had it for years and it never drifts, unlike many a junk logittech or saitek joystick I've bought over the decades...

    Wing Loader (KS/WCDX) Loader & Voice Over Mod

    Makes sense. In Wine (and therefor proton) , you have to specify if you are using a native library which is the windows library that comes with the app vs the built-in one which is wine's version. Built-in is default. Very important to note if you are attempting dll overrides in other apps.

    Check out Origin’s Gorgeous Floppy Plane Art (July 8, 2024)

    Pedant man strikes again! (but hey this is a fan forum so I'm in good company). A-10 is designated as the Thunderbolt II. "Warthog" is a nickname that most people know it by. Just as the F-16 Fighting Falcon is nicknamed as the "Viper."

    Wing Commander 1 AI enhanced Characters

    Well I think you are misinterpreting the hair in the original sprite. It's suppose to be short curly black. As for the face, the original sprite is perhaps a little lighter but definitely African. Yours Id think of as Middle Eastern or Indian.

    Wing Commander 1 AI enhanced Characters

    I'd make many guesses from where that version of Knight is from, but I'm afraid South Africa wouldn't be on the list. The uniforms are starting to look a lot closer/consistent though.

    Wing Commander 1 AI enhanced Characters

    Really neat. I find the AI's decisions on the backgrounds distractingly hilarious. Like I can see why it made the choices it did without the full context. I don't know if there is a way to isolate the foreground from the background and do those separately?
