That sucks... Well, let's hope the next try goes a tad better.

Try moving your joystick around. When I played WC3, my stick was a real attention-hog... Thank the Lloyd for the calibration-sliders on the side! Brief explanation: In addition to being used as a, well, joystick in-mission, the stick also seems to control the cursor-movement when you're not...

OOF! Grah, never mind! Another active topic for this. *Smites double-topic-posters*

LOL! I'm Hawk too! Seems very common around here.

handor: If you Alt-Tab between P2 and Turbo, you'll have the chance to work your way to an acceptable speed. I'd say... 45-50 in space seems like a good starting point (50-60 was ok for my P2 450), and you should be able to use 100 planetside without problems.

The icon is to the left, missile lock is to the right.

Without MyJEMM or that Virtual Machine-thingy, there's just no way in heaven you'll get WC2 to run in WinXP. As for the speech pack... You're absolutely sure there's no exe? No bat, or com? To get sound, you need a sound card with DOS drivers that's enabled through autoexec.bat and...

[Butt-head] Political correctness sucks. [/Butt-head] That piece about your school, it sounds to me like a complete failure in doing something about the feeling some people get that christianity takes up a whole lot of space, tearing down its credibility and so on while indirectly sending out...

I don't think anyone ever tried... Have you tried EA's disc-replacement thing?

Recommendation: Use a machine with a CPU at 200 MHz or less. Turbo works in Windows, btw. It did the trick for me.

Ijuin: That's not the exclamation-mark we're referring to. It's something else, a red little thing in the upper part of the screen. And the manual provided no help there... Oh well, I suppose it's nothing vital. Unless it implies a mine happened to lock on to you. :)

Bla1r: Well, I'm pretty bad. Bad, not bad-ass. In WC3, even a corvette at Veteran is a trip through hell and back for me. If I can pick off capships from a distance, I'm in heaven. Which in turn would mean I'd be toast in a dogfight. Heh, evasive maneuvers don't exist in my vocabulary. :)...

Ah, I had that issue myself. I concluded that the engine doesn't want you to steer and shoot with the keyboard at the same time. Maybe if you fire with the mouse and steer with the keyboard...?

The manual should say, I expect. Anyway, the description is very vague. Maybe it tells the radar/scanner to display ships in the contact-list? ... You don't mean the red pseudo-exclamation mark, do you? The one to the left of the autopilot-modes? THAT I know nothing about.

I'll give you a great movie: Hero. Absolutely wonderful. But that wasn't what this was about, nu-uh... *Downloading... waiting... downloading... Watching...* Oi, where's Gibson? ... Oh, he's into directing now, is he? That explains why I didn't see him. Smells like two hours of cheesy...

Just to make sure, add the number 16284 between emm386.exe and RAM. The sound will probably be... interesting if you don't.

You've heard of Newton's old F=ma, I take it? Well, the acceleration in Wing Commander-ships is... high. High enough to squash the average human, I suppose. So, to remedy this, Origin threw in a handy little gadget called Acceleration absorber. Mostly for show, it seems, as I haven't heard of...

It's very subtle, true, but it's there.

That was a typical Scream o' Death(tm), as seen and heard from the emperor in Return of the Jedi.

So, that thing with... all them weirdos that came out last year or so is a replica, then? Why am I not surprised...
