It's not so much watching your six as being other targets so all those stinking bugs don't shoot at you. Problem is, if all your wingmen die, all the bugs do shoot at you, so I try to keep a couple wingies alive as targets.

Exactly, your part of a team. Those "keep wingmen/frindly wing alive" missions in WCP were fun that way. I replayed SO the other day and found myself shootnig bugs off my wingmens tails all the time. They do the same for me; why not repay the favor? WCP's Wingmen AI is good. [This message has...

I don't know, if I use the "seam" in that mission I can usually beat in a 4 hours. Done it twice, one running a tad too fast under MoSlo on my P-100 and once last week with my KS WC1 PC Gamer.. Trick is, stuff both DF's up the cat in front of you's tailpipe, finish him witl full gun vollies...

Yeah, and talk about un-updated ads, go to EA's Online store - www.eastore.ea.com, I think, and choose brand "Origin", and find the entry for WCP. It talks about "multi-player options". Is that a sick joke to kick us WC fans in the mouth or what? [This message has been edited by Jumper...

Heya Eddie! Welcome to our humble abode and all.. Saw your bid at $305 for KS on eBay. I'm glad that went to a real WC fan and not some collector. I was in the same position as you a year ago, when I first started play Wing Commander. As soon as I heard Prophecy Gold was discontinuing...

Exactly. If you read previos posts on this board, you'll see that our informal tech support team is quite good at helping people get their bootdisks/DOS Mode Shortcuts configured o get Priv running smoothly.

Yes, it definatly sounds like a driver issue, for instance, why are there no Flightstick drivers being loaded in your config files? Strange.

I have no clue either. When my WC1 5.25" Mint In Box arrives sometime next week I'll look and see if I can help you. Isn't eBay a great thing? WC2 Deluxe EA Classic - $5.99 + $3.55 S/H Academy EA Classic - $3 + $3 S/H WC1 5.25" MIB - $16.50 + $4 S/H WC2 5.25" MIB - $5.50 + $4 S/H All in the...

Could I have a look at your config.sys and autoexec.bat? Perhaps your SB16 software isn't set up correctly. No Digital Sound wise but MIDI/Joystick Port wise... As for getting Mouse working, look for a file called MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.EXE on your hard drive. Run it before you run Privateer to get...

Whats the exact MSDOS.SYS line? I have a DBLBUFF loaded on my system... I assume this is controlled by the "DoubleBuffer = x" line in my MSDOS.SYs, which is now set to one. Seeing as I never have nor will use DoubleSpace, is this the line that controls the DoubleSpace driver? I'm almost sure but...

Whats the DOS= line in your WC2 boot disk config.sys look like? It should be: DOS=HIGH,UMB,NOAUTO Important! The NOAUTO prevents a bunch of stuff that Windows MUST HAVE from loading in Conventional memory, thereby freeing more of your 640k. Thats probably where some fo the 80k "system" QAPlus...

Yay! My first "fix"!

There were THREE TCS Lexingtons. 1) Class Unknown (I think), confirmed Lost in Fleet Action during the Battle of Earth. 2) Class Unknown (I think) in WC Armada, lost or whatever depending on how you played. On the topic of the Armada Lexington, I'm almost positive she was lost. She was listed...

Voices of War, Hmmmm? I guess I'll go dig out my Armada EA Classic CD and fire up the old Acrobat!

Wow! I remember my first WC1 experience, and I did the *same* thing! Ah, the memories... I saw someone ask his over at the Support board for the PC Gamer CD too. Nice screenshot. Maybe we should add a new like on the right side of the CIC, "WC 1 Landing Tutorial".

I fooled around bit with Arena (WC4 Mission Editor) and at most I could do was 2 Confed, 1 BW Cruisers and the Veusivus vs. a Kilrathi Dreadnought before the game engine crashed. And Confed NEVER won. Dreadnought was just too powerful, unless I flash-paked it (fun, fun, fun)!

Try the Starlancer demo. I, for one, have quite enjoyed the game. If you read the stupid PC Gamer review, well, that revier probably didn't even play the damn game, "unoriginal mission deusgn" my ass... Most of the missions in Starlancer are quite original, it has a great graphics engine, and...

So Dralthi, is your problem all cleared up now, or do you require further assistance?

HeHeHe, my parents were sort of technophobic until 1997, our first PC which we got in 1994 was an Original IBM PC, 15 years out of date. Fooled with that, then got an Epson Equity one (8088 with CGA), my first color PC. Later we got a 286 (I never played WC on it, wasn't a fan at the time), and...
