I'm really, really, really sorry I started this off. But let's see. First things first: As I said in my post, it is VERY difficult to make observations or assumptions on a national level. Especially if you're not part of the nation in question. So please: Rethink before you make blanket...

I'll be on to it as soon as I can manage.

Great. A Space Viking film, with a character called Boromir, cast in Newfoundland "because they didn't want Norway", backed by a production company that faces fraud and bankruptcy trials (VIP Medienfonds 4). Chris: Smoke in cockpit. Eject.

Linking sales numbers and "national identities" is always a pretty shifty rationale, in my view - there're just too many factors involved to say: Germans like Wing Commander because they like technology. Vorsprung durch Technik, and all that stuff. But let me take a look at my generation...

That last sentence in the quote, and the one following (read the article, guys) really makes me think: The public is clearly starting to pick up the gauntlet and shows the industry what it wants. This has happened before; but in other parts of the entertainment industry, it's relatively easy...

ZT patcher is a program to apply ship packs to X-Wing. Since I'm not really into the XWing scene anymore, just google "ZT patcher" or "creating a *.ZT file". I'm sure you'll find a tutorial on some modder page.

He's really good. Really good. And I still don't know what a key grip does. [Don't tell me. Everybody needs a secret.]

Great - that's those guys. I wonder how many kps one of their models would clock...

Maybe you can do a rough pencil sketch and scan it to give folks an idea?

For a start, you need to realize that DOSbox is - very simply put - an aid to get DOS games to run under Windows. If your games did run in Windows before, or are Windows versions anyway, DOSbox won't help you. Second, please tell us a bit about your computer. What Windows version is on it...

Thank you LOAF for taking the hard job in clearing that up for all of us. For people strewn all over the globe like many forum members are, the CIC core people (including Joe) always formed that mysterious group of different characters with the same purposes; friends despite varying views or...

That's just the same thing that happened to me half a year ago, dealing with cars. People who collect stuff to just have it for its rarity, and people who collect stuff to have fun in using them are very different on some level. The former thrill in items that are rare and celebrate when...

Deacan, Striker, sorry for butting in, but maybe I can clear up the request a little: Jacob Hudson is using ingame shots of the different craft for the cardgame (right?), so in order to have a similarly looking shot of the non-canon custom ship, the Dream, a model is needed. That model would...

I like the direction thrusters. But HL2 as a space game?

Well, this looks promising - but I really don't get used to CGI humans. They all look bland and uninvolved - the old WC1/2 talking heads were a lot more appealing to me.

Have you looked at that? Extracting the sound should be quite easy..

Whoa, Saga's funds must have been gone up quite a lot, allowing to have Alec Baldwin as comm officer.

I'd just like to play a WC game that glues you into your cockpit, gives you intense (but not insane) fights, makes good use of wingmen, and has a solid story. No mixing of magical and mystical into SF, no questing for a level-unlocking password, no FPS / RTS / RPG elements, no turn-on-a-dime...

Very good that it's finally out, and a beauty too. Congratulations. The big ones are still not an assembly-line thing, so each time a new one is ready that feeling of celebration is in the air. I just love it. I wish I'd been on the ELF's (early long flights - part of the testing) for another...

Sorry if this came over a bit too firm... - I'm really looking forward to the site and all the stuff you guys do. Out of curiosity I just checked - with an empty browser cache, the thread takes me 1.45 min to load, with a standard DSL1000 line. I just guess you visit often and your browser...
