Flight Commander Communications Patch Released

eddieb has released a small communications bug fix patch for the latest version of Flight Commander. Most players won't need it, but the update resolves a crash that can occur when comm transmissions are sent during low detail mode. This should help a subset Perfect Plan fans. Wingnuts with neither Flight Commander nor the Perfect Plan mod should check out Eddie's flexible Wing Commander engine. It's come a very long way since the first screenshots released more than seven years ago. The new Version 1.5 adds new features like player-controlled turrets, mouse support, fully customizable briefings and expanded gameflow options between missions. It's a great way for creative fans to play around and get started making WC mods.

A bar, in Wing Commander? Actually, this made it into the finished game - as one of the background loading screens. It was originally going to be the 'medal room' - awards earned in the game would appear here. Check out the Kilrathi character models - amazing!
