    Fighter pilots targeting objects going thousands of km/hr

    Why though? If you are (just for the sake of arguement) 10,000km from the nav point, which happens to be a ship, how can it suddenly be 10,000m once you target it? Did you just warp a factor of 1000 meters? Or are these units not anything "real"?

    Game Remakes

    In playing KS again, having just gotten through WC1 and SM1, I agree with both ideas, that it would be cool to see it in a manner similar to the hornet and rapier in the intro for KS, but also that it's "perfect" the way it is and would be like trying to remake a great historical work of art...

    Wc to B5

    A B5 sim would flat out rock. I heard that the one that Sierra was producing was nearly complete when it was canceled. Anyone know what happened to that code or what engine it was based on? Would any WC engine be able to do a B5 sim justice? Everything I recall seeing in that show, it used...

    Fighter pilots targeting objects going thousands of km/hr

    I saw this thread and happened to think to check it in game. Something that never occured to me before. lol The distance units are listed as km when a nav point is selected, and as m when a ship or target is selected. However, the only thing that changes is the units, not the #'s. When you...

    Deflection shots

    Tumbling isn't really an issue. Once a bullet penetrates the a/c skin it begins to hit spars, cabling, armor and so on and will tumble and ricochet no matter what angle you hit it from. The real benefit of deflection shooting is that WWII fighters generally had the most pilot protection at 12...

    n00b with a question

    Hm. I know nothing survived the last mission in Vega sector. And if I didn't get all the kills, then it was like maybe 1 or 2 snatched by my wing. Can't remember now. What must be done to win that medal in those 2 missions? I'm going into the 8th in SM2 now, so I'll keep it in mind. :D

    These writers love to waste characters. And all too often they are hot chicks. :mad:

    Super Wing Commander on WinXP/Me/98

    That looks awesome! :eek: Well, except for that tub that is labeled as the claw. lol Are there any emulators that don't require owning a Mac?

    n00b with a question

    Thanks guys. You'd think that a blow like that could only be a good thing. lol I just hate leaving enemy around that I know I could kill, but, I hate losing wingmen even more. Oh well. I'm dying for that pewter planet too. I know I won it once way back when, but I've played this series...

    n00b with a question

    Hi all :) This is a really cool place. Glad I found it. :cool: I have a question about the 2nd mission in SM2. The one with the 9 Jalthi and 3 Fralthi. Anyone here successfully take everything out and still have Iceman alive? Is it possible? I can survive and wipe out all the...
