WC1 doesn't support a throttle natively, but the Phoenix can emulate a throttle by assigning keys and increments.

Greetings, Does anyone use a Gravis Phoenix with Wing Commander I? I am using the default WC.PHX file, and the throttle isn't working right. When I use the trottle in-game, its jumpy, and never goes full speed, and rarely goes full stop. I have tried adjusting the value in PCC. The throttle...

I decided to put the AWE32 in a 486DX2/50. The sound and music both work!!! But the game runs kind of choppy, which is very annoying due to the fact that the game came out in 93 (if I recall correctly), meaning that this should be running faster, since 93' was the year that I got my brand new...

In a heavy dogfight, I don't like to let the wingmen get any kills, so I don't like trailing each individual enemy craft for heat seekers, or waiting for Imrecs to lock. I afterburn right towards the enemy, nail it a few times with my guns, then launch a FoF. This is most effective for me when...

I can't access the WC2 streams folder due to the disc's wound (pc hangs when I try), but the files in the WC1 streams folder have the .str extension. The streams folder for WC1 is about 130 megs though, and I'm assuming that the streams folder of WC2 is larger. I don't think that emailing them...

Thanks, I really do appreciate it. It will be utterly awesome to be able to play WC2 again. If you have kids...NEVER let them near your cherished game discs...even for a minute! My Baldur's Gate disc 1 and 3 got wrecked the the KS 1 disc and a few other games, but I was able to get...

I was offline for a couple of days...cable went down. I tried using a dial-up modem...coudn't connect a a decent speed at all (pages were timing out!), but I'm back up again. I haven't had any luck contacting anyone at EA about thier plans for the Wing Commander games (Kilrathi Saga being main...

I was just messing around with the game, and the music starts for a split second and crashes, so it may be the music files. I used my GameDr, but the gouge is too nasty. If anyone can help me out, it would be immensly appreciated, I miss this game terribly...its my favorite WC next to WCIII.

There is a gouge on the disc, when trying to play WC2, it crashes. WC1 is fine, but that is besides the point.

I used the term abandonware as a reference to the fact that EA no longer uses the game to make money, and using a term like abandonware in the context of my post was to help people understand what I am trying to do. I have no intention of stealing anything, and if you read my post, you would...

Greetings, I would like to contact Electronic Arts to ask them the status of The Kilrathi Saga (whether or not they consider it abandonware, etc.). Does anyone know who in that company I would have to speak with about this? This idea came to mind after I contacted EA...

sound in Privateer I get the same sound problems. The memory trick did work, privateer's sound doesn't like more than 16 megs. But even after setting emm386 with the proper settings, my sound would cut out and be replaced with an annoying, constant sound too. This would happen about 15-20...

it worked Thanks Quarto and Stinger, I adjusted my ram in emm386 and the sound works great! Now if only the game would stop locking up during battles... hehehe

I have used moslo I have moslo'd the game. I can get the cutscenes *that don't have speech playing* to slow down fine. Its when the speech happens that the "mouth" animations tweak out and finish before the speech finishes. So I get Prince Puddy-Tat smacking his lips faster than the flaps on a...

jeeze... Thats figures...my voodoo card not liking WC III...and it happens that my SBLive is in the system with the Voodoo3...no midi for me until I get and AWE or SB 16 Wave card....
