I just tried the WC3 GOG fix and my joystick is still not working properly: during calibration, the current vertex jumps around really fast like it's getting a constant stream of split-second inputs, and does not work at all in-game. Is this a hardware detection issue with my joystick? I'm on...

Yowza, I like the new look! The profile of the nose and the intakes remind me of the Rafale, it looks great.

I meant more that the act of lining up a shot against a fast-moving target would be the difficult part; in my head, it's more like a space version of Strike Commander where your Vulcan is pretty deadly if you can actually hit the enemy with it, and you spend a lot of time dodging enemy missiles...

Having to do deflection shooting in any game like Wing Commander is sort of a fundamental conceit of the game, but I think it would be interesting to see a game where the ships' weapons are more direct line-of-sight and instant (but with faster ships and more ability to jink and dodge to...

Just the idea of an open-source, reverse-engineered version of Strike Commander with more modern graphical capabilities makes me literally giddy: the prospect of being able to actually play the game in VR even more so! All it needs is a RetroWave soundtrack...

This is what I always imagined the Rapier looking like in WC1 based on the sprite, wow! Next, you should do the (much cooler-looking) Broadsword from the WC2 manual silhouettes. It looks drastically different from the in-game sprite, way more swept and raptorial.

You had ONE job! :D Nice catch, I always love seeing the funnier bugs in games like this.

Personally, I think it would look better without the fins on the ends of the acceleration absorber nacelles, and that the fuselage should taper towards the nose. Currently it looks too much like the bill of a duck! Overall though, I like the softening of the lines while still keeping mostly to...

That CGW cover blows my mind: Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (which our family lovingly referred to as SWotL and pronounced 'swatle') is a classic and definitely one of the flight sims that I put the most time into playing. Seeing the other games they mention in the magazine itself is a real...

I am super excited to see this shaping up, and I am especially in love with the look of the game: the neon-drenched color palette and general design of the ships looks fantastic. Are there plans at this point for multiplayer or is this the "just get this thing off the ground" stage at this point?

What sort of paint are you using? You might need to put down a primer layer first, especially if you're using acrylics.

It looks like the lovechild of a YF-23 and an F-15, absolutely fantastic.

I actually came here to recommend the same one; it's a really solid 'stick, and I use it for just about everything from flight to mech sims. Probably one of the more comfortable ones out there, too: for all the frills that my Saitek x52 has, it's not nearly as ergonomic.

I guffawed out loud when I saw the text in that first briefing: "Interesting text will go here. Rest assured, you will be spellbound by the wit and wisdom herein. What more can be said? Nothing of import. The slow gelatinous Shub-Niggurath slimes over the lazy slumbering Azathoth." Looks like...

I'm not particularly good with getting things to run on Dosbox, and I was also using the floppy version in case that makes any difference. But hey, if someone could help me get the original Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe running...

I have been (unsuccessfully) trying to get Strike Commander to run for many years, so this is fantastic news! I forgot how different flying is in ST than in any of the Wing Commander games...

I really should finish it one of these days, especially as someone who has played pretty much all the other SCUMM games. Did anyone else get a very 'Tank Girl' vibe from this game, or at least from the comic book that came with it?

Now that GOG has graciously put RF into their release of Privateer, I've started playing and was immediately reminded of the additional equipment added in RF. I was wondering if someone had the numbers for the energy consumption and relative benefits of the various weapons and upgrades in...

Yep, I've gotten it to work now and moved my saved game over. It's great to be able to start RF with my pimped-out Centurion without having to start over!

This is a pretty newbie question, but I've just re-downloaded 1&2 and Privateer to get the updates, and I can't seem to find how to start Righteous Fire. I recall it being a separate program you had to launch, back when my old computer ran my CD copy of the game. That, and I uninstalled my old...
