Not me. How could I remember something like that from 15 years ago?

More like you "allowed" her to die. Anyway, random pilot assignment is good, and alternatively have, say, 12 (or however many) unkillable pilots so you can always launch the full complement in a mission, or reduce the amount of planes like in earlier Wing Commanders. Also, in similar vein, I...

Interesting. Is there a place where I could read up more on the difficulty levels in WC III-V? I heard, for example, that on WCIII and IV Ace is more difficult than Hero because of afterburner usage or something... Ship strength, that'd mean the amount of damage your "core" can absorb?

I just had an idea that, although minor thing, might increase the enjoyment of Standoff a bit. Is it possible to have your friendly pilots die instead of ejecting every time? They'd have a chance at ejecting, perhaps, but could die just like you otherwise. Of course, only those pilots that...

Hmm, I thought difficulty only influenced AI aggressiveness and elusiveness? Does it actually just make their ships' shields and guns stronger? If so, I guess I need to stop playing Hero (and perhaps play Hardcore, that is, if I ever get shot down, I replay and eject after accomplishing the same...

Of course there's a world of difference between "getting too excited" and....never mind. I don't want to start nitpicking fine details like that as if I was a Hollywood director.

Thanks. How odd, though...it used to be as simple as pressing N in-flight.

It seems to be working solidly with HDR and lighting on, even though turning on the extension limit might disable them. Thanks to Spertallica! One oddity more, though: how can I cycle through nav points? N and P make the "sounds" they are supposed to, but nav points don't change. I'm trying to...

I can confirm that turning the extension limit on stopped the crashes, at least with HDR and enhanced lighting off. Gonna try with them on now. Edit: Hmm, maybe it does disable them, but it did crash with those options off before I turned the extension limit on.

The voice acting is very good for a fan production. If I have to look at it critically, I'd say that surprisingly the supporting characters trump the main character & Spoons in quality. The radio guy is excellent, for example, as well as many of the wingmen. It's not that Bradshaw is bad, he...

If you thought I was serious about it, you're wrong. I mean, come on, the spacecraft falling down in space is not really a canon plot concern, is it? Mostly it's just because the movie is crap, in my mind, rather than any plot inaccuracies.

Hmm. Weird. At every navpoint, the rudder seems to reverse itself, and I have to go to the options to switch "reversed rudder" off and on to fix it. Also, is it possible to program in a "ignore my target" command? I've been trying to tell them to attack another target and switch to a new one...

With HDR on, I experience a straight CTD. Without it, I eventually "freeze" and have to alt-tab out. Trying the 2x settings without HDR.

Yup, patch installed, as well as the latest vid card drivers. The settings haven't otherwise been touched, except to turn on the "candy" like HDR. I'll try it without it, then, but on the other hand I could just wait for the full thing to work in all its glory.

Hmm. Looks like I'm crashing too, in wave six of the simulator's first mission...I suppose we'll just have to wait.

For starters the characters themselves make it non-canon. Maverick, Angel and Maniac...at the very least Maverick and Maniac aren't supposed to be there. Then you have fighter types that aren't put into service for a long time, and all that "spacecraft falling down from the hangar deck into...

Eh? Doesn't the movie conflict with the games' storyline in almost every possible way?

You're right. Let's not be pessimistic. I'm sure it will come out today or something. Still, give the guy a break. He wasn't blaming the group - they're doing all they can, and bugfixing is a random business sometimes.

I wonder if the Standoff team could somehow consult or assist the other ambitious projects achieve release status, after they've felt like they've rested enough but don't want to start another massive project. I know I said no suggestions, but this one is a bit different....WC modding community...

Heh, "some rest" is indeed in order. I'll be pleasantly suprised if they start doing something else, but I bet life and gaming call. And IF they start doing something, the spark for it has to come from themselves in order to finish it like Standoff, so it's no good giving them suggestions.
