Your video card decided it just couldn't handle any more Wing Commander :p

Looks very good. :)

If you're interested in remodeling, there is a file located in the files section of wcnews full of models used in WC4. Link: 3D Models in 3D Studio format.

Looks very good. Nice thing about SVG is that it can be up/downscaled without any loss of detail.

A mosque in that location may not mean anything in a physical sense, but it certainly does in a symbolic sense. That symbolic sense was significantly altered by 9-11. Whether that was positive or negative depends all on the eye of the beholder. I do agree with you, Mace, that it is a slap in...

Interactive displays are a planned feature, but I need to do some more research in Macromedia Director for it :)

As far as I know, the only place where a regular programmer can hook into what the touchpad does, is after it's converted into mouse data ( i.e. mouse cursor position and such ). In this way, mapping touchpad information to some sort of a virtual joystick is certainly possible, no doubt about that.

@ -danr- For the modeling experience I have to say that Blender is very easy to learn, I picked it up in just a few weeks. Creating textures that look realistic is something different though, and it's also something I'm not very good at. @ Death Angel Yes, it is possible to add a cockpit view...

Here's a screenshot of a line-up of several capships I was looking at: (Click on image to enlarge) The size of the BWS Intrepid was deduced from the in-game cinematic at the end of the game. In this setup, the actual size of the Intrepid is 325-ish meters.

Not a bad idea. I could use a Clarkson as a base, and add some modules to it. A small fighter bay just large enough to house a couple of fighters and a couple of fuel modules.

Is there a reference in the Wing Commander III novel as to how the fighters were launched? Because I'm starting to think they may have been launched using some sort of protected/concealed elevator system ( kind of like how ST : DS9 runabouts are launched ), where fighters are stored somewhere...

I'm looking around to add another object to my Wing Commander Shockwave tech demo and decided to add a Confed capship to the scene, preferably one that's capable of carrying fighters. Taking a peek in the ship database revealed that both Southampton class and Tallahassee class are capable of...

Another update: limdaepl from this forum provided me with a Hellcat V texture, and I have applied that texture to the model. I am astonished as to how good it actually looks, even if some parts of the texture do not properly align with the mesh ( yet! ). Many thanks to limdaepl for providing...

English for me. The reason for this is that some things simply get "lost in translation" in other languages, or are simply not translated correctly.

Update: Added a starfield to the scene. Don't fly across the edge of the universe people! :p

Kilrathi tanks vs. Confed tanks game anyone? :p Nice model iceman16, keep up the good work!

Voted the Dragon. It's abilities make playing WC4 a little too easy, even if it is in the last series of missions. Though I must admit it's fun to blast fighters using the fission cannons only. ;) As for some people saying the Hellcat V often appears in fan projects: it's boxy design makes it...

Having a microphone certainly takes abusive talk to a whole new level............ Glad I don't use one for online play.

The model I am using is a slightly modified Hellcat V made in Blender. Thus far I have used Paint Shop Pro to make the textures, but they're applied using Blender. Thank you! :) Though I don't have Photoshop ( yet ), I'll have a look at this.

Well, at least we don't have to get the Mythbusters to confirm this theory :D
