Fantastic! At least I can get most of them easily then. Just the movie ones to track down.

Thanks so much! Pretty dangerous work scouting jump points. I assume that for at least the regular trade routes in Gemini there’d be buoys or too many merchant ships would vanish. I need to re-read the novels. Sadly my Dad did a clean out of all his bookshelves a couple of years ago without...

I was playing Privateer again the other day, and one thing that struck me was how do you know it’s safe to jump? If something was on the other end wanting to jump through or hadn’t moved out the way quick enough wouldn’t there be two ships at the same point? Obviously in game it isn’t a risk...

Well it’s always nice when you can use a lot of your older work. At least the engine hadn’t changed too much!

Was there a big difference implementing it for WC4?

Fantastic work! Glad to see the request for the interlaced movies is here :D

The one I am referring to is the main Prophecy demo (not the 3DFX one) - it had additional story and missions not in the main game. There is an OpenGL version here: http://popsiclepete.solsector.net/files/WCPDemo-Setup.exe The WC3/WC4/Prophecy 3DFX demos had unique missions, but no story, see...

Thanks again for all your work! I was wondering if it would be possible to add the other Wing Commander games? Like Academy/Armada/Privateer/Privateer 2/Prophecy Demo I know the first three run in DOSBox, but it would be nice to have one launcher to rule them all 😅

Sadly that is all that was released, I would of loved if we had got more.

I don’t think he has been around in ages now. Has anyone heard from him?

Quick question. If I have the old version installed can I repatch or do I need a clean install?

Was there any updates on this? I would love to see more of the beautiful models in game 😀

That is a lovely Exeter, fantasic work as always!

This is seriously the best thing ever. My favourite game looking better than ever, your models look fantastic in game Howard!

Wow that’s really cool. Do you know what the limit is on how high resolution a sprite can be used? Seeing the higher resolution Tiger’s Claw in game not just cutscene is fantastic!

Well mine likes princesses. But she also thinks Daddy’s game looks cool. So here’s hoping!

The problem is you are just looking at the pixel count to determine the aspect ratio which given today’s technologies is normal. However, with the way CRT’s worked you also had to worry about the Pixel Aspect Ratio, these days it is always 1:1 but that wasn’t true then you have to understand...

But all the monitors at the time were 4:3. 320x200 is supposed to be displayed at that aspect ratio with non-square pixels. CRT's didn't work like LCD's do. I don't even remember seeing a widescreen monitor in use before the early 21st century. Stinger already discussed it starting on page 4.

That would be cool! Does anyone know if these were cut missions originally intended to be in the game? Or where they specifically made just for the demo?

Thanks for updating this(sorry for the necro but I haven’t been around for a while) I still really appreciate it and I hope others do too!
