    When a David Lynch Created the Roman Lynch (July 1, 2025)

    IIRC he also wrote the 1991 WC "movie" treatment too which was an interesting take on the world

    After Action Report: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (June 6, 2025)

    Maybe I missed something, but all I hear them say is that the spaceflight combat in the game is obvously influenced by WC.

    After Action Report: Star Trek: The Motion Picture (June 6, 2025)

    I messed with this a bit and I can definitely hear the Star Trek inspirations. The entire structure of the ST theme doesn't line up but there's several parts that when you slow the WC theme down to 80 percent they have striking similarities in style and feel, though WC's theme is slight like a...

    Wing Commander Toolbox

    Quite a few of them are in missions.tre... They are bundled into the individual pilot profiles for the most part. Blair's dialogue and the Cockpit computer are "PLAYER.IFF" for example.

    After Action Report: Tora! Tora! Tora! (May 30, 2025)

    Aren't the games already the future "movie" version? Maybe they already are Banshees!

    Jump safety

    It's a bit of a throw away line in the WC movie and it's novelization, but part way into the story there's a report about the fleet's progress making it back to Sol, and you learn that there were a couple reactor malfunctions, but also that a couple of ships were lost at jump points. THere's...

    Enhancement Patches for Wing Commander III and IV

    I don't know much about how Linux emulates a windows environment to run the game, but typically if you get the virtualprotect error running WC4 GOG version in windows it's solved by changing the compatibility mode to a different win version. Maybe see if there's some options to tweak Heroic...

    No sound in Wing Commander: Prophecy HD cutscenes

    Yeah, in this case there's a couple things it *could* be but in general what I was talking about would be the preferred decoders, so in this case you might check numbers 10 and 11 on your list and disable the k-lite codecs as long as there are alternate "codecs from windows". You can also...

    No sound in Wing Commander: Prophecy HD cutscenes

    I have a feeling that this might be connected to microstofts stupid HEVC/h265 support policy. They removed it from shipping with some versions of win10 but it was a free download. Now it's a paid add-on. From what I'm reading in win11 VLC/Codec packs will work for playing files independently...

    How to Fix Poor Cropping in the Hi-res WC: Prophecy Videos (a guide)

    Thanks for posting what worked for you. Too often people will say they got something to work a and don't post their fix leading to many people fruitlessly searching for a solution EDIT: I should add that it would still be good to include some other info regarding your system configuration as...

    Tarsus (Privateer) painted 3D Print (01)

    Might need to make sure you're on the HTTPS version of the site and that you have permissions enabled. If that isn't working uploading probably uses some form of javascript. Have you tried using a different browser and seeing if you have the same results?

    Unboxer Breaks Open German WC3 Special Edition (March 2, 2022)

    There's no DVD version of WC3, so this will just be the regular non-kilrathi-saga DOS CD version, though I can't tell if this one only has the German manual and documentation or is the German dubbed version

    WC IV Hi-Res cutscenes... bad crops

    Yeah this sounds like improper cropping. Possibly go to the EXE file for the game, right click and choose properties from the pop up menu. Then, navigate to the compatibility tab and chose the "change high DPI settings" button. From the second window click the "overide high dpi scaling...

    WC IV Hi-Res cutscenes... bad crops

    Do you mean the files themselves are cropped? or That the game is cutting off parts of them? Depending on the aspect ratio of your monitor the "Cropped" part might be normal if your monitor aspect ratio is something like 16:10

    Panther and Hawk's morale in WC4 : An attempt at a more detailed analysis

    That's all outlined in the original post of this thread. In context the BL ending is what he refers to as the "bad" ending and the flight instructor ending is the "good" ending. Which ending you get is tied to Hawk and Panther's morale.
