    Privateer 2 missing character missions.

    Yikes. I've just finished the entire game. I hope the gog version doesn't skip his cutscenes. I looked them up on YouTube, and they're fantastic.

    OpenGL pack for WCP updated to 1.2.2

    I'm having trouble getting the steam overlay working with this patch (or Prophecy in general TBH). Any advice? I'm trying to use the steam controller with this game.

    Privateer 2 missing character missions.

    Just finished up the main storyline for Privateer 2 - The Darkening (woof). At least one of the character missions was never triggered. Not once did I run into Brian Blessed's Character UNCLE KASHUMAI. Supposedly I was supposed to get an e-mail, but it never came. I'm a bit disappointing...

    Are Armada and Academy worth playing?

    I think I'm gonna go along with Vidmaster on this one. I tore through 1-4 very quickly. Privateer has proven to be my favorite in the series I believe. After giving Armada a good college try, I've decided to skip it and move on to Privateer 2. Armada is just not for me. So far I've only...

    Are Armada and Academy worth playing?

    Greetings. Been on a tear playing through Wing Commander games. At this point, I've torn through 1-4 w/ expansions, and privateer. I've been having a blast and was about to load up Privateer 2, but was wondering if Armada or Academy were worth checking out. As I understand it, neither of...

    Steam Controller Configs!

    Just played through Wing Commander 1-4 with the Steam Controller and had a great time. Almost as much fun configuring the thing as it was playing the games. Here's some configs if you want to give them a try. They might take some getting used to. The III and IV configurations are quite...

    Spiculum IR - why I can't launch it?

    i'm in the exact same position. I've replayed this mission 50 times or so and can't seem to beat it. It would be nice if my missiles fired when I asked them to. edit: Jesus. After several hours I finally beat this beast of a missions. I believe there's some truth not being able to fire...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    I'm a ways into Wing Commander 2 using the alpha WCDX patch. So far so good. The speed during most of the cut scenes is far too fast, so it's a bit of a challenge to read what people are saying, but the gameplay is solid as a rock. The speed also blazes during death animations and menus. I...

    Wing Commander: Covert Missions (was: SM 1.5 (Working Title))

    hey y'all. i tried running the kilrathi saga version of this patch with the wcdx version detailed here: https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/introducing-wcdx-kilrathi-saga-for-modern-windows.27685/ so far it crashes during the first briefing. so it seems that this is incompatible with the...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Whew. Just made it through SM1 and started SM2. Once I get around to Wing Commander 2, do you guys recommend using the alpha version of this patch? Or should I just bit the bullet and go DoxBox?

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    quick question. I'm trying to make it through my first playthrough of the original Wing Commander using this patch. Is the gameplay in this windows version significantly faster than the dosbox version? Because I'm having tremendous difficulty not dying immediately. I loaded up the doxbox...

    Wcdx - Kilrathi Saga for modern Windows

    Just now getting back into Wing Commander, and I'm very grateful for your work. This seems to be the definitive way to play Wing Commander I on modern systems. I would love for you to continue your progress with Wing Commander II someday if fate allows, but your efforts so far are already much...

    Run All Old WC Games in DOSBox Walkthrough

    i think i fixed it. my problem was if i raised my cpu cycles to over about 5000 or so my fighter would automatically drift to the right, as if i were slightly angling my joypad. i changed the 'timed' feature from 'true' to 'false', and now i can get it to run at any cpu cycle speed i want...
