    Airplanes!

    The show is open to the public at the closing weekend. The week before is industry only. The exhibition halls were full of "buy our <random aircraft component>" type things but some of them had already gone home since there isn't much call for landing gears from the general public. The UAV is...

    Airplanes!

    I went to the Farnborough air show today and since everyone loves planes, here are some pictures. Flying Whale! Red Arrows in Manta Ray formation. Airbus Cattletruck. The most impressive thing flying at the event - the V22 Osprey. The engines tilt so it can function as both a...

    Bring Back Full Motion Video (June 21, 2006)

    An article on GameDaily today reminisces about a better time - a time when FMV was a key part of story telling in games. The article begins by noting how many games based on movies tend to disappoint, and conversely how many movies based on games fare badly. The rest of the article goes in depth...

    Kilrathi Saga: no music on XP

    Is it possible that your CDs are damaged in some way? Other than that, the only time we've heard of problems with the music in KS is with illegal downloads of the game. All of them have had music stripped from the download.

    Maj. Striker has created a video which is a parody of a series of commercials for an American insurance company. Perhaps insuring yourself against pirate attacks could be a feature in a future Privateer game. Maj. Striker had this to say about the idea. You can download the video here. I...

    Any updates on Prophecy MP Patch?

    Doing S&R stuff would probably be difficult to implement since there isn't code for player controlled tractor beams in the game. It'd be simpler to have a mode where two teams have a carrier each, and the first team to blow up the other's carrier wins. Of course you'd have to make sure at...

    Catch High Definition Wing Commander Tomorrow (March 23, 2006)

    Don't forget that tomorrow is your last chance to catch the WC movie in high definition for a little while. CineMax is airing the 1920x1080 version at 6:15PM on the east coast, and 9:15PM on the west coast. It has been more difficult than we thought to capture the high resolution movie, so if...

    Marc Pageau has sent us this new wallpaper which is optimized for a 1280x1024 desktop, though obviously it'll scale to any size. The scene shows a pair of Sabres and a pair of Broadswords with the Concordia, a Waterloo cruiser and a pair of Gilgamesh destroyers providing the background...

    WC:Prophecy GBA Help Please

    The summary of objectives for that mission was taken from the PC version but the GBA version works slightly differently. I believe the briefing gets it right though. From what I recall you have to fly towards the jump point (light blue dot on your radar) and drop mines all around it.
