Maniacs Rank Maybe it's all his other antics, I remember a Sargent in the .S. Army being busted back to Private for being drunk in a Duce an a Half (slang for military transport truck). Tickled the sh** out of the rest of us.

Glad to see someone here older than myself, and still interested in computer games. BTW Happy 16th Napoleon aaaahhh good times, good times.

Navel Warfare Doctrine In the U.S. the Carrier is the center piece of a Task Force made up of destroyer and cruiser vessels along with other support vessels. The purpose of these vessels such as the Aegis guided missle cruiser is to (1) protect the carrier and (2) project force with guided...

Quo Vadis Space-Sims I was around in '91 when WC1 was released. It was revolutionary in almost every way. From adding sound (other than annoying beebs) to gameplay and character development. The key to success in my opinion is to recapture that revolution. For so long games outstripped hardware...

Great Cartoons Anyone ever see the "Starship Troopers: Roughneck Chronicles". Also anyone know where we can find the collection (VHS, DVD, etc.)

You guys want a warzone check out the 3Dfxgamers message boards. Those guys are picking fights and flaming all the time. I would go there to find fixes for my Voodoo3 card. Nothing constructive ever came of it.

I ran WCIII on a Windows 95 machine but I had to reboot with a dos disk to get sound and video. Now I have a SBLive card and Voodoo3 2000. The SBLive card may be alright because it shipped with legacy Dos drivers, the Voodoo card I don't know. Anyone out there with experience I love some tips...

Have you tried to disable one of the midi ports on your two soundcards. Sometimes this is difficult if you have Plug-n-play cards. Generally there is a way to do it, you just have to dig a lot.

Speaking of CG has anyone seen the television series "Starship Troopers: Roughneck Chronicles". The CG in that show were phenomonal(sp?) I would like to see the next WC (yeah right) use this technology. While it is expensive it cannot compare to paying a live actors salary. I've been playing...

Just thought of something, Is your joystick connected through your soundcard's midi port. If so you might be having a conflict there. I do not have one but I've heard an adjustable game card will solve a great many problems.

I had similar problem in WC1 and WC2 using a Quickshot joystick (now I'm showing my age). Nothing worked tried cleaning the contacts inside the darn thing nothing worked. I had to finally breakdown and buy a good joystick. I bought a thrustmaster has worked great.

Where do you find the Homeworld Mods and or the Freespace Mods? I had heard that someone was working on something for Freespace. Not that I like any of those games more than Wing Commander. One of the neatest things about Wing Commander was the choice to try and land your fighter on the carrier...

I've done both Military Service and College. I have to agree that military service changes you. My grades prior to service were less than spectacular. After service and returning to school I graduated with a 3.5 average. I will also throw this in my service was completely voluntary. Obligatory...

Note of apology to moderators and to the original poster didn't mean to get off topic. Just a newbie who wanted to know who I'm talking to. BTW I am still working full time as a Civil Engineering Technician. Anybody know if Autocad has a chat zone?

Hang in there people, I went to a Junior College in Texas right after High School. I quit before I graduated and joined the military. When I got out started back to school and worked full time during the day as a Civil Engineering Technician, it has taken me 9 years going part time but I finally...

It is true I also fly a great many flight sims. Hindsight being 20-20 I should have become a pilot in the military instead I went Combat Engineer in the Army. Back to the subject I agree a stand alone throttle is overkill but I still think some sort of throttle control (other than keyboard) is a...

I've used anything from a Quickshot to a Thrustmaster. I now have a Thrustmaster Top Gun Attack Throttle, Top Gun Joystick, and Rudder Control System. It's older so I don't have force feedback but having a throttle improved my game significantly, I do not ram my opponants anymore. The attack...

Intresting poll: How many of the regular posters are in High School, College, or have got their Degrees.
