I certainly hope not. And no, I wasn't flying, Death Angel. I've been critisized for my flying skills before, so I thought I'd let somebody else take the fall this time around. ;)

Almost. The main campaign includes 50 missions, the revamped Prologue adds another 5 to the table. I am on my first real playthrough of the game right now, by the way - my best guess is that I'll need ~ 20-25 hours to beat the game.

That sums it up nicely. Depending on your performance following missions might be a bit harder, dialogue and events may vary, you may also miss several achievements. Some missions are deemed campaign critical and will not allow advancement in the campaign unless you meet the required objective.

I've always been under the impression that the main fascination of "let's play" videos was to see others fail in a spectacular fashion. ;)

It's been a while. Sorry about that. As we draw closer to the release, I'll try to keep you (yes, all three of you) up to date on recent developments. We've teamed up with Rurikhan for one of his fantastic "let's play" videos and the end result is (I may come across as a little biased here) ...

We made several changes related to shockwave/explosions. First: the shockwave is orange now. Second: explosions look so much better now than in the Prologue (or the latest release of SCP, for instance) because Saga is using a custom set of shaders. I'll try to make a few pictures on my next play...

As far as I am aware, a common keyboard is required for the key-pressed event to work properly. Dworak keyboards, num block, etc will not work.

Thanks. The MD5sum does check out. The download should be fine. Shall I link directly to the file or will you add the link to the original news update?

That would be very nice of you. Currently we have no ressources to host large download files. You could download a copy here.

Honestly, Lars. ;) WC News has put up a mirror as well.

For this week's update, we would like to show you our latest work on the most advanced fighter available in Wing Commander Saga: the Excalibur. This model was created by limdaepl. We have used the highest detail official Origin Excalibur models as our guide, and we have tried our best to stay...

Honestly, you could use a 3.6.10 build, but do not complain about missing thrusters or strangely acting AI. ;)

I hate widescreen monitors. ;) Back to the topic - I would not use any post 3.6.9 builds, simply because they introduce a lot of new bugs, that are yet to be fixed.

One of the most well-known Terran vessels encountered in WC2 is the civilian Free Trader, which in some cases, is much more then meets the eye. One of these special cases is the infamous Bonnie Heather, which was in reality a high-tech special operations ship captained by James "Paladin"...

Hey, sounds like an issue with your computer. Could you post your system's configuration?

it would be sufficient to edit the mission in notepad :)

There is a new FRED/exe build available too, which allows the usage of hard coded autopilot. It also fixes most of the formation issues. There are still a few bugs to get rid off though - cap ship formations do not work that well at the moment. It is possible to disengage autopilot at all times...

Unlikely. Currently turrets are controlled by the ai and it is doing a very good job. :)

Great job! The attention to details is awesome!
