    World of Warships

    The best naval combat game still has to go to Silent Hunter III ;) Nothing beats the free reign patrolling the whole Atlantic ocean, tracking convoys and doing actual mathematical calculations to achieve your goal. It's quite a challenge. Never mind just how much you end up learning about...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Secret Ops Model Update Pack

    Perhaps as a distant future project we can get something similar in standoff? ;)

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Secret Ops Model Update Pack

    Sorry I was talking about the rudder reversal. I'm prety sure both Prophecy and SO have the "option" to reverse the rudder, but it doesn't work. It reverts as soon as a modifier key (alt, button 2 on joystick, shift) is pressed, making the option effectively useless. I never had a joystick...

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Secret Ops Model Update Pack

    Speaking of hacks, I would love for there to be a dll hook to reverse joystick rudder input. It's been a long annoyance..

    Wing Commander III acting...

    Made me think of this little gem :) It's Dana Carvey acting as Tom Brokaw, who wanted to go on vacation, so they had him record all these fictitious clips in-case they happened while he was away.

    Infinity Battlescape - Planet landings/solar system dogfighting

    Holy cow! They have been working on this game for over 10 years. Before it was called Infinity: Quest for Earth. Demos of the engine were really impressive 9 years ago. I thought they died. Glad to see a game actually come out of all that hard work!

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Upon further looks at the dos version, apparently there is the ramping effect being done. But it is so much faster then the KS version and is mostly noticeable in the hand animation. Shift does make the change instant.

    Wing Commander III acting...

    I doubt prophecy is on anyone's list. It is clearly the weakest of the bunch story wise, and the acting isn't that great. Not that I dislike the game, but next to the masterpieces of III and IV it's just not on that level.

    Just wanted to say thanks

    I don't get it, if its an HID compliant device, there is no reason it should have not worked. I doubt windows 10 changed anything in the input areas, maybe they added a newer xinupt dll but dosbox wouldn't use that. Perhaps it just bit up the ghost. 21 years is a long time for potentiometers...

    Well i would still ask them on their forum what the problem is, I'm sure you would get a response quickly. Their community is quite large with a lot of experts.

    Hmm. that is a doosy. It's like it doesn't take into account the new resolution. Might I recommend making a post here? http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=151.0

    Just wanted to say thanks

    Now that is interesting. 3.7.2 should work just fine. When you installed diaspora did you get the 1.1 an 1.1.1 patches as well? It's below the download section. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=81859.0 At the end of the day those 2 patches include 2 new .vp files...

    Try downloading the latest stable executable. 3.7.2 That includes diaspora. All diaspora code eventually made it into the main release. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=89597.0 Plus there are more graphical features in the current release. There is also a newer version of the...

    Is SWC harder than WC1?

    Really? It runs fine on my beige G3. (which is why I find it odd that old powermac is too fast...) I would think limiting the memory would force it to run slow. what happens if you limit it to something like 300k max?

    Is SWC harder than WC1?

    the problem with sheep shaver is that there hasn't been centralized development for over a decade. I believe OSX was the original focus. Random people have been doing small fixes here and there, but it's really spotty in a lot of areas. Aside from making sure you are in large window mode...

    Is SWC harder than WC1?

    Are you using the windows version? That could be it...The windows version is really finicky relative to the OSX version. I've seen the color corruption though, especially in Basilisk.

    Excuse me brother...

    Ive seen so many of Kubrick's other movies too. Dr. Strangelove is my personal favorite. Now that movie has some great lines! "Gentlemen you can't fight in here, this is the war room!"
