OK, sweet. HTL it is then... what about per-pixel lighting? Any chance of that happening? (I know Lynx despises the current on-ship lighting system in the FS2 engine.)

Ah, the good ol' Tin Can Sally. Excellent work as always, guys. Can't wait to get my grubby paws on this game.

I take it bugs like this is what is holding the release up? And what's the word on Hardware T&L, as was mentioned some months ago? Will WCS feature (or depend on) HT&L? Or per-pixel lighting?

Actually, the engine trails look a little bit funky now, like they're not positioned correctly on the model... they seem to be causing some odd clipping problems with the back of the fighters... The models themselves still look wicked sick, though. :p

And, of course, Wing Commander Saga could very well kick off a revitalization of the WC-style space sim, and they're using a wild and wooly mix of models from all eras.

Wow :eek: I hadn't realized how much of a beast the Kennedy is compared to other ships.

On the other hand, their effect was entirely biological... it goes both ways. :p

As a side note, I somewhat suspect the Panther and Vampire in Wing Commander Prophecy use some of the tech from the Dragon. They don't have the full anti-matter power plant (probably due to price constraints), but they do have moving sections on the hull and their intakes do look like those from...

If I recall correctly, the doc on the planet said the nanoprobes are only active for so long (or that's the implication, at least.) It makes sense, given how tiny they'd be... they couldn't have that much of an energy reserve...

Gotta say my favorite looking fighter of all time would be the Sabre, followed by the Rapier, then the Broadsword. Really, WC2 ship designs > all. I wish WC3 had been around during the era where the technology existed to make those ships look decent in-game. :(

Keep in mind that this image is 9 years old, so it may very well HAVE been too much of a pain to render a pilot... ;)

Heh... anyone recognise where this has been used before? ;)

Heh. I assume the full version includes a modified main executable, to take advantage of the changes to the engine?

DEMOOOOOOOOOO! We need FS2 to play the demo, right?

... That's the in-game model? I feel like dying now. Jeebus.

For some reason, my Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 won't firm up when playing Wing Commander Prophecy (or X-Wing Alliance, for that matter.) I've confirmed that the joystick does in fact function properly... it's just not fuctioning properly in somewhat older games. Am I fooked, or can...

Give Us Game Nowwwwwwwww Argh Raccoon Murder Spreeeee EDIT: Bah, my psychotic babble got nerfed. Boo. Seriously though, are we looking at a nearly finished product here? Can you give us an ETA?

Gotta admit, the lighting does look a bit funky, but not horrible. And who's SCP?

Awww, they all look too similar. And Iceman looks like crap. (Interesting re-interpretation of Shotglass, tho.)

Engine trails look fine to be, comparable with EVE's trails (and not nearly as stupidly long too.)
