58 neat and shiny screen shots added to Photobucket for this week's action: http://s204.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/DaveO-MM/Wing%20Commander/

I think I'll use a variant of Tolwyn's line from WC4: You're all junkyard dogs at my heels. I'm going to turn around and kick you all in the chops! :p

Yippie! I'm caught up for this week for the WCP journals. WC4 is another story since I still have to journal Circe... H’Rekkah 3 Maestro is at the bar, and asks me to come over. I break off my conversation with one of the female pilots, and he insists that I have to try a new concoction...

Three hours to document the first two missions, but I included some parts of the intro. It feels right that fighter combat exceeds cinematics(with the exception of the first mission) for this go around. During the reign of the Ancient Ones, Sivar appeared in a vision to the first Prophetess of...

Thanks! I really appreciate the comment. Doing the Wing Commander videos has been a learning experience on how to do recordings with various tools. So, to answer your question I'll begin at Wing Commander 2 and how I did those videos. WC2 - Start the game, and then use the Fraps recording...

I'm hoping for another player or two to join this replay since we're now on the most modern Wing Commander with the exception of mods and Arena. The detail using the Zackensack(sp?) Glide wrapper AND the enhancement pack is really good. Take a look at some screen shots I took along the way for...

I documented the asteroid collision mission. It was during the Weapons Depot mission in Speradon. That mission had two suicide runs by Hellcat fighters. One took out Tex, and the other tried to do a Buckaroo Banzai trick against an asteroid. Of course, he did not have that fancy device to let...

In which rocks of rubble cause a reckless death I knew I had the asteroid collision mission somewhere, but it was during the Weapons Depot mission. I hope to have time to do half of Circe soon. Speradon Weapons Depot I see Hawk in the hold, and he feels that Maniac has not yet proven...

Thanks, LOAF for posting about the points system! It's too bad you only use the Bearcat in a few missions, but it's fun having the fastest fighter. I never said it was the best since the Dragon is by far the super fighter in WC4, but the Bearcat can autoslide and has an eight missile loadout...

Ok, looks like I found my own answer called Debut located at: http://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html I did a quick test, and it does not have the downfalls of Fraps causing hiccups. I'll check out how a quick test of the first mission goes. I did get a kill score of five bugs before...

I'd like to ask if anybody has an alternative to Fraps that will record the game videos. I ran into a problem where the videos and in-flight stuff gets repetitive as soon as I engage Fraps recording. I'll try the recordings again with a fresh boot into Windows, but I'm not sure if that will...

Total for WC4 was 167 before leaving for Earth. Since the Circe side was not my official choice, I did not have the 'Search and Destroy' mission to add to the count. I noticed what you were talking about for Maniac on the cinematics. I also noticed that Blair checked his watch a lot. I've...

I did not count on the finale being chosen on Sunday. If I had known, I would have posted the below journal sooner. Talos 1 We’re catching up to the Vesuvius after our jump out of Ella. No doubt Tolwyn and his crew have noticed us closing. I then observe a strange sight with the Vesuvius...

Apologies if this topic has been brought up before, but I did a search and did not find much. Does anybody have any info on the service record of the ship in other actions? What is the majority positive/negative opinion of this fighter? You don't get to fly it much in WC4, and I thought it was...

Whew! Caught up on week 5 now for the journals. Only the last week and week 4 to do for the Speradon/Circe missions. I should have the last week journals done some time soon I hope since today and Sunday won't see any WC: Prophecy action except my upload of the intro. Telamon 1 Pliers...

Of all the Kilrathi fighters in WC2, I hated the Grikaths the most. Drakhri fighters also tended to sometimes take forever to wipe out. I did not find Gothris that difficult, and Jalkehis were not too tricky. Good job in getting to K'Tithrak Mang, but expect some swearing when you encounter...

I had to go thru a few hoops to create the same callsign in Secret Ops, so I'm posting what worked for me so that others may use the same process. The best installation procedure seems to be as follows: 1. Install WC Prophecy 2. Install Secret Ops in a separate folder(a subfolder in...

I'm below Lorien's kill total for WC4. I probably got my total from the difficulty. I'll save myself from further embarrassment by not even bothering to add up the other totals. :o P.S. - I've not forgotten about the journals, but it looks like Friday or the weekend for me to even have a hope...

The Broadsword and Crossbow if you get into Special Ops don't have afterburning capabilities. So being a good turret shooter is quite essential when you fly in them. As far as DOSBox cycles, the default is set to 3000 so try that or a lower value and see how it performs. P.S. - I'm sure you'll...

All endings are uploaded, but Photobucket will take additional time to add in all screen shots. Enjoy all the special video stuff at: http://www.youtube.com/davecaspermeyer
