Managed Endgame 1A Admittedly only on Ace level. I usually just start with the default and play that (start on Ace, finish on Ace). You guys who can finish it on Nightmare, geezus, you need to get out more :D j/k (off to have a life now ;))

Ah that explains so much Quarto. I managed to finally single out the correct buoy, though I had to cheat a little, by flying a "test mission" with invulnerability. But then I still couldn't work out why, targeting it and burning to it before the cutscene, and firing like crazy, it wouldn't die...

Err yeah, I've read that thread already, I thought that would be evident from my post. :rolleyes: It doesn't say anything more than what I've already posted, "find the right buoy and kill it". How do I find the right buoy, I can't guess it, not enough time, I can't seem to destroy the...

I must be really crap, but I can't get past NAV 3 in Mission 7, where you get those weird buoys that jam your controls, and this is only in Ace mode :( One wingman automatically gets killed, so you're left with just the 1, which doesn't last long anyway, I can't get enough ships down before...

Thanks Pedro, that did the trick, silly me, I should have realised it was a graphic card issue. Funny though, what constitutes a "capable" card for running 32-bit? I have a Radeon 9700Pro, faster than a GeForce 4 Ti4600, arguably the most powerful of the consumer gaming video cards available...

Exactly the same thing Naturally I don't get the launcher panel, but I get the same result.

When I click on the Start Wing Commander: Unknown Enemy button in the launcher, I get this error: I'm running Windows XP, and I've tried setting compatibility on wcue.exe to Windows 95, and Windows 98/ME, to no effect. Hardware is an Athlon XP1800+, KT-333 chipset, Radeon 9700Pro video...

Out of curiosity, will there be an article or howto on how this Wing Commander PC is put together?

Summer? :confused: /me looks out the window at the pouring rain and howling winds.. No everyone lives in the Northern hemisphere :D

Thanks, glad you like it :) Nice, is that the 400 or the 600?

Re: My Passion geez, can we get off Wing Commander for a little while? I thought that was the whole idea of this new forum. I'm really asking, apart from Wing Commander, whats your other major hobby? e.g. stamp collecting, rock climbing etc.

Whats your other big thing? Here's mine

Kling-ons, Kling-gons I just choose to believe they always looked the same, makes it easier that way :D But I'm still amused that they changed the pronounciation from the original Kling-gon with a "hard" G, to the modern Kling-on (soft g).

but hey, thats the beauty of flying one, defeating a far superior enemy with superceded space debris. Nothing like toasting a wing of Vaktoths in a 1 Hellcat :D

Oh, I thought the Hellcat was small, cheap and poorly armed. Looks like I was wrong sorry.

Nothing motivates you like being the underdog, so its the Victory, the Hellcat of Carriers. Someone should do a mod where you only get to fly Hellcats off a Ranger class :D

All the talk about giant robots, anyone like Patlabor ? I thought it was cool.

I know thats his site, I've been there before. However I recently went there and couldn't find anything. Its been like that for some days now. Hence the original question, I thought it might have moved or something.

err.. there's nothing there, except for: This Test Page Was Created For fongal

It just occurred to me that the downloadable Secret Ops might be different to the Prophecy Gold Secret Ops, in terms of the directory structure, because of the episodic nature of the original. I'm guessing this particular structure lends itself well to modding. Am I correct? I deleted my...
