As far as I know this only is true for Prophecy / SecretOps, not Standoff.

Note to myself: Not only more than 16, but also exactly 16 can be bad.

Yes, the difficulty levels affect both enemy as well as friendly AI to the same degree. Also, the difficulty levels affect nothing else beside that. So it really isn't that much of a "difficulty" setting as it's rather a "AI level" setting. By recommendation of Dundradal I always use the "Hero"...

I never thought of that as a mistake, I think there are enough features on the ship which could explain such an arrangement.

You mean like, never? Sometimes it almost feels like a bumper car ride (although I have to admit that's a sign things aren't looking too good for me at the moment. ;)) Not a bad analogy, I think, when you compare how dangerous collisions are in WC1/2 (a single collision can be lethal, even if...

With some experience they become much easier, like every enemy in the game, but they still are quite a hassle. Those buggers seem to "fly by ear" more than any other enemy, doing bunny turns every time you fire your guns. But then again, each ship has its own kind of personality and thats...

By the way, I guess the CIC does have an "archive" of sorts with all Wing Commander games from the first to the last, including add-ons and spin offs, copied from the original media to some more long-lasting type of data storage, to prevent the future loss of valuable history due to "bit rot" -...

Have you tried without the loadfix command at all? Also, what's the RAM configured in the DOSbox configuration file you use for the game? I think it should be at least 8 MB. But be careful with values above 16 MB, a lot of dos games have trouble if you have more than 16 MB RAM (and may even...

Thanks. Those downloads really need short descriptions in that list ;)

I would have thought in Secret Ops there would be the same simulator as in Prophecy, but when I finally decided to give it a go and started Secret Ops (instead of Standoff), I found that there doesn't seem to be a simulator there. Is that true, or am I just too stupid to find the corresponding...

Let me guess, sometimes you can't even tell anymore if it's live-action footage or 3D rendered? ;) I'm assuming these videos do primarily show cars, not people :D

What I meant was that in case of holy books they kinda "build upon each other." Like Christianity builds on Judaism, and Islam builds on Christianity. Okay, maybe you're right, that's religions, not holy books - but: the Christian Bible is the same book as the Jewish Tora (?) plus some extra...

Bossman and Knight are dead, Paladin already doesn't fly fighters anymore. For something that's supposed to happen prior to WC1 that doesn't sound like the same continuity at all. Yes, Farbourne, you could look at it like that, but you would have reason to think that the movie is the much more...

Apart from the sheer size of the picture, on a CRT screen those black lines would appear to be less sharp, because the adjancent lines of the picture would "smooth over" into the black lines... I hope you get what I mean, maybe someone could word it better?

Yes, definitely was.

Have you tried using Ctrl+F5 to take the screenshots? That's the built-in screenshot option of DOSbox and in my experience it works nice, both in fullscreen and windowed mode, and it's easy to take multiple screenshots in one go. I believe it creates PNG files. You can even record videos with...

Maybe they just found no place in WC3's missions to put it. ;)

Maybe they weren't satisfied with how the Frigate model looked and decided to not use it. That's just my shot in the dark, I don't even know what it might look like ;)

Well, at least when the word "Saitek" is around somewhere, it definitely does. :D

Thrustmaster makes some really good stuff. They're inexpensive, but well made, sturdy and long-lasting. Saitek on the other hand tends to do these bizarre designs and be very costly. (Granted, they're sturdy and longs-lasting, too.) I'd feel like paying for the design. With Thrustmaster I have...
