    General Hardware Question: Motherboard and RAM

    Windows XP can handle the full 4Gb address space, and excess system RAM is silently ignored if there isn't enough address space for everything. The /3Gb switch should have no effect on this, all that says is that applications which claim to be Large Address Aware may have up to 3Gb of private...

    Mod for X3

    Its a new one. For X3TC rather than X3R. Seems to be just that video so far, no word on a playable mod, but I could be missing something on the german S&M forums. http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=3070127&highlight=#3070127

    Rocky Exoplanet Discovered (September 16, 2009)

    Possibly. In either case, life is unlikely - at that temperature, and that close to the sun, any atmosphere would be stripped quickly.

    Wing Commander

    WC Standoff is also worth a look, but it is very difficult.

    Wing Commander Movie

    Wishful thinking. The film wasn't a big success even if it did turn a profit. A sequel would cost more, and most people did not like the first movie enough to make a sequel a must see.

    Episode 1: Defecting to the Pirates

    CTRL-N to bring up the nav map, double click or right click, I forget which, to select the new destination.

    Can't install secret ops on vista 64

    Old and common bug - its handling the free space with a 32 bit integer, which can only store numbers up to 4Gb. The number it sees wraps around every 4Gb, which can result in it thinking there insufficient space when there's actually plenty. Just waste some space and bring the true value for...

    IMPORTANT: Standoff Episode 5 patch 1.26 now available

    Still crashing here. Also, I'm still getting abysmal performance at the start of the first flight of a session. Sometimes, it clears up on its own, in which case subsequent flights are fine till it crashes, sometimes the session is a wash. Haven't had it work properly since patching - but...

    New Space Sim in the works

    I think you are confusing the terms 'depth of field and 'depth perception' here. The latter is an effect of having two eyes, by comparing the two viewpoints the brain can extract depth information. The former is an optical effect, caused by the fact that a lens can only bring a certain depth...

    WC4 question

    The bearcat's guns are way out on the wingtips, and the auto-aim will happily send shot after shot to either side of the smaller targets. And you go up in Arrows in the Bearcat missions, so there are plenty of small targets.

    Dosbox and USB Joypad

    There wont be a setting in DOSbox to bind a joystick button to a keyboard key, but you should be able to find software which will make that binding in windows, and DOSbox will pick that up as a TAB press.

    The X-Wing Theory

    In the games, killing an ISD or even ESD is trivial, they have negligible point defense capability so when you get close enough to the hull, that ship is going down whether or not you take the time to kill the shield generators first. In particular, they have no weapons in the side trenches, so...

    DOSBox 0.70 - Privateer 1 - joya.dat for joystick

    Joya.dat refers to the specifics of your joystick. Someone elses joya.dat is not liable to work. Try altering DOSbox.conf as described above, but with 4axis instead of 2axis - this should present the game with a single, 4 axis stick. With any luck, the game will accept it as a single stick. If...

    Any Wingnuts playing Audio Surf?

    It accepts most normal formats. The notable exception is the itunes DRMed format. I don't think it accepts midi.

    WC3 Problem

    What version of DOSbox are you using? And if its not at least 0.7, update it. WC3 is playable on 0.62 or above, you will need to set ems=false, but you will get much better performance from 0.7.
