I always sent wingmen home in WC 1 and 2 (yeah, I know, it defeats the "Wing Commander" idea, but I wanted all the kills!), but if I hadta pick, I'd say Spirit for both of those games. 'least she listens to you. For WC-3 and 4, Vagabond all the way. I love that guy.

I tried to get the WC-4 DVD to run on my new system but it refused to play any of the movie files. I hadta revert back to the CD version. I couldn't figure out a way to force the movie files to play in-game, unfortunately, but I didn't try all that hard either. I just wanted to play :)

Shipwise, you're in a Sabre. It can take one hit, maybe two, from the AMG's without you running the risk of losing your Target Track or some torpedo ordinance, but not much more than that. And even then, that's assuming you didn't get hurt too badly by the fighter escort.

Patience. This mission requires tons of patience. I've found that (and this gets extremely frustrating at times) that you'll have to abort your torpedo runs half or more than half of the time to dodge the AMG fire. It's annoying, but eventually you'll get lucky and they'll shoot in the wrong...

I always wanted to fly the Centurion, but I'd buy the Orion every time. Great ship!

There are lots of programs out there that allow multiplayer realtime voice communications. BattleComm RogerWilco Ventrilo TeamSpeak And some others. Everyone has their favorite; mine's Ventrilo.

The "rocket" plane you're talking about was the ME-163 "Komet" The ME-262 "Swallow" was the first German jet.

I've got two of the ChromArt things; I really wish I'd bought the other two.

There are some proggies out there that claim to slow down the game by affecting your processor speed, I'm not certain how well they work or how safe they are.

I'm a shipyard? Sweet :D

Head-on dogfight all the way. The Raptor, to me, was the best Wing Commander ship ever (ok, yeah, I know other ships really kick ass but the Raptor just rocks) and I was very very disappointed when they never made a new version (especially when I saw the freaking Rapier II in WC-2. I can't...

Have you tried all the various compatibility modes for the game (right-click on the game's icon, go to properties, and one of the tabs will let you enable/disable various Windows OS compatibility protocols)?

Yeah, I just popped it in last week and couldn't get the videos to run under XP. So I'm playing the CD version. Ah well, same difference!

Nice! :)

I had some problems getting Kilrathi Saga to work in XP initially, but it's fairly simple with a bit of trial and error. Apologies if you've already tried this, but if you haven't, it should clear up your problems. Right-click on the .exe icon that'll launch the game you want to play (don't...

::nodnod:: Halo for the PC. Viper, I hate the big controllers, too, but there's the smaller ones (initially used in Japan, but now you can get 'em in the US at stores like Best Buy) that are much easier to handle.

I'm in the midst of the same thing ::grin:: Gone through WC-1 (make sure you DL the Secret Missions packs for WC-1 and Special Ops for WC-2; KS didn't come with either). Made it through all the WC-2 stuff in about a day and a half and am in the middle of 3. Everyone thinks I'm a nutcase and...

Sweet model. It's coming along very nicely!
