    System Update Adds XBox Features (December 6, 2011)

    Hmm... Interesting... Doesn't actually sound all that evil to my ears. Mediation instead of immediate court sounds ok. The class action thing would bother me however AND I also kinda doubt that Microsoft would play by its own rules here when hunting down multiple users for whatever reason (they...

    Wing Commander Movie Rereleased on DVD (November 17, 2011)

    No, honestly... the technical side is rediculously easy. Probably one day work. I agree with Chris tho, the whole preprocessing - selecting what to add and to check the legal aspects. Now thats a whole different thing.

    What would a "completed" Behemoth look like?

    Well two of those 3 "big supergun thingies" were so unstable that the treatened to destroy the ship firing it on every use. The Behemoth really was to only working one for Confed.

    Damn Darn DRM Discussion

    Sure, just like it never happened for Blizzard and BattleNet... Or Ubissoft... Loaf, just because you have some connections to EA and want to believe that they are the good guys doesn't make them so. And even if they are today, what about tomorrow? Quite frankly I am just as sick and tired of...

    Privateer 2 Video problem: black lines

    The interesting question for me is how most people preferred this interlacing to simple full (albeit of course blocky) resolution. I always hated it with passion.

    Future of Wing Commander Conference (September 19, 2011)

    Anything between 8:00 GMT and 22:00 GMT would probably be reasonable for Europe, but not all of that would be my favourite time...

    This may well be true, but the clip yould have long been forgotten if not for the public outrcry of the gaming community.

    Gamer Discrimination by Media

    Or in other words - German TV needed something to fill the summer recess and the German gamers actually fed the troll. This non incident really should have been ignored.

    BREAKING NEWS: Wing Commander Academy on DVD (September 1, 2011)

    A bit sad that the free deal is gone of course, but still great news nonetheless. Two questions pop to my mind however. As others have said a non R1 release would be great (or do it in R0). Also what about the saga of the Space Viking? Will they be included in the WCA release as...

    BIG NEWS: Wing Commander I Source Code Archived! (August 26, 2011)

    I don't think there is legally any difference between published pieces of art and unpublished. Its just usually imposible to get unpublished works of art at all so how would you get them into public domain? You cannot for a company to hand out any code, unfinished software, ... as soon as they...

    GoG WC1+2 Dosbox 0.74 - Joystick calibration

    Its certainly not in the install program. At least for WC2 it should be CTRL+J while in flight. Kinda doubt it will help, but worth a try.

    A Proper Sendoff for a Hero (August 25, 2011)

    I wonder who it was that found our Hero. Would be fun if it was someone of the ative WC community. BTW: You know what was my first thought? A guy from Texas named 'Ben' called that he found the figure and this started a lifelong dedication to the game. Now THAT would have been a story...

    Wing Commander in the modern age

    Simplifying it would probably be the most important thing. Make it playable with a gamepad and scrap all the flight sim stuff that made WC more and more complex with each iteration.

    European school system question

    Basically we are just as clueless as you are. Ist just that the US is maybe a decade ahead on the problem scale. We'll probably catch up soon. Generally I think (violent) criminal activity ist just a lot less here as - well - good question. It seems that the threshold is just higher to use...

    Happy Birthday Wing Commander Arena! (July 25, 2011)

    Run All Old WC Games in DOSBox Walkthrough

    Also note that by a limitation of the FAT file system it is only possible to save 256 files into the root directory of a hard disk. Therefore you should never install stuff into c:\, d:\, ... but always into a subdirectory. This might also be the case for subdirectories mounted as roots via dosbox.
