Forgot - I didn't know about Elite. Good point there. I just assumed it was too much for 286s to handle with the level of graphic and sound detail that WC had. Guess that's my flight sim experience sneaking through a bit. lol Lasers were another thing that bugged me. But.....for WC, I just...

I think the one being "too caught up" in anything is you Quarto. Honestly. 1 - I said there were advantages to each. Not that one was "better" than the other. There is a difference between those 2 statements. 2 - All *good* fiction uses reality as a basis. Even in superhero fiction, there...

Cool! :) Looks like I have a lot of stuff still ahead of me. Need to finish up WC3, then 4, then P, then SO, then Star Lancer, then go backward to Armada and Academy and Privateer 1, then RF, then 2, then start on the fan mods..... I'll be at this for a year or more. lol (not a bad thing in...

I see Privateer is being redone, and it looks cool, I'm really looking forward to it. Even though WC is my all time favorite game series, I've always been a realism nut. I did manage to overlook and/or rationalize the arcade flight of the WC series. I figure if they have atificial gravity...

Well.....this is a real 'doh!' moment. All I had to do was destroy that last corvette and I heard "mission objectives accomplished". :o I thought that because we were already known about, and out of the nebula, and on our way out anyway, it didn't matter if we got them all or not...

Hmm, that's an interesting thought too. That would almost certainly necessitate killing the cap ship anyway. Ok, hopefully that'll do the trick for me. I hope I have time tonight to find out. :)

RB3D - Red Baron 3D. There was some sort of wrapper type program that enabled that game, which was made for Voodoo cards, to run on modern cards. It might be a glide wrapper, not sure. But it should work for the MW2 Titanium pack as well. Dunno, never tried it. Whenever I get the bug to start...

Thanks for the help guys. I figured leaving that last corvette in A3 would be ok since we were out of the nebula, already known about, and getting the hell outta dodge anyway. I'll try it again and take the corvette out and see. If I still go to D1, then I'll just go back and do all the...

I'm not sure. You guys are the experts. :D The Game Guide here at the CIC says that the only way to be at Ariel 3 is to have won Ariel 1 and 2. :::shrug:::

I mentioned that I did. ;) After I killed all enemies except for the Kilrathi Corvette (skip missile included), I landed on the Victory, and we went off to Delius. So it seems there is something more required than merely keeping the Victory alive. :/

I've searched this forum and the tech forum and haven't seen an answer, so I apologize if it's been discussed a million times - I looked for old threads but didn't see my answer. I can't seem to "win" Ariel 3. I had trouble with the skip missile, so I tried the land early trick. That took me...

Well, I've known for some time now that I'm weird, guess this just settles it. lol I liked the idea of a new character, and of it being Iceman's son. And I also liked the idea of the Kilrathi war ending. While it can get a bit old to always move from one war to the next, on the ohter hand, if...

Kinda like the Midway. :D

Wasn't there some sort of a "voodoo wrapper" for RB3D? For some reason I think I remember it being made for Voodoos by there being some sort of software fix to get it to work on modern cards. If I'm remembering things correctly, then it should work for that too as it was a separate bit of code.

I still have MW1 too. It seems to work ok with Mo'Slo, but I forget if I did that on my P3 733 or my current P4 2.4. It seemed to require less of a crush than WC1 did though. Plus it wasn't bad to have it run a bit faster than it would have originally too. Actually made it more playable in a way.

Doesn't WC1 play waaay too fast on a Pentium? Or do you use mo'slo? I find that trying to crush a system down to a fraction of a fraciton of it's full speed with mo'slo causes problems. :/ I've been planning to go the KVM route as well, but with several systems. From a 286 for WC up through...

The F4F Wildcat was about 11.58m W x 8.76m L x 2.81m T. It was an average to large sized fighter by WWII standards. By comparison, the F-14 Tomcat is about 19m W (max span) x 18.6m L x 4.8m T. 40m is only 131.2 feet. That's only just over twice the 61 feet, 9 inches of the Tomcat. And the...

Being in PA I should know for certain, but, IIRC, the Amish do use technology. They are just VERY selective about what they use. They consider the overall impact on their way of life and society before accepting it. They have farming equipment, vehicles, even cell phones and computers. Just not...

But that board starts from zero, so it doesn't help you if you want your total, from 1 all the way through the end of 4, is what I was saying. ;) (and the WC3 board doesn't list sorties either, only kills and aces)

Yeah, you could import any WC1 save file (from any point of WC1 or SM1 or SM2 - IIRC) into WC2. Was nice to have it carry over your kill and sotie count. Have to keep track of it manually to add in WC3 and 4. :/
