The main set decorator - (who has since passed away) and frequent Lamont collaborator - on the WC movie worked as assitant art director on this show as well. He had an impressive list of credits including original trilogy Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and a number of James Bond films. I doubt...

Yeah, they were in the original game there, but you also get them if you torch ejection pods... but who would do such and awful thing????

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm scratching my head trying to figure out under what scenario Blair and Marshall would be wearing the Concordia patches... When Tolwyn asks Bellegarde what ship is the closest available, his response seems to indicate that at that point Blair and Maniac are...

Blair does have an opportunity to change. He has a bit of a nap at least before visiting Paladin on the Claw (maniac wakes him up) so presumably he throws his stinky Concordia one in the wash and grabs a fresh Claw sweater when he gets up to go ask Paladin about Pilgrims. Having different...

Just to clarify, did you have the game running before trying to apply any of the patches? Regarding multiple cores, you shouldn't have to change your bios to make a game run on a single core though I would say that these solutions come with a "use at own risk" disclaimer since they involve...

Did you set the control option to joystick in the inflight options menu (alt+o) and remember to hit "save" before returning to the game? This description sounds like that problem. THe game doesn't default to the joystick and the behavior you describe seems consistent with that issue.

It also depends on your controller that you want to use for the game a bit too. Logitech gamepads and sticks usually have bundled mapping programs that will work regardless of . If you are using an xbox controller you can just use Microsoft's "xbox accessories" app as well to map pretty much...

you should still be able to click on the notification and choose "keep". It's annoying but I guess it might save you from a random virus someday. (It's because it's an EXE file. Google won't let you email EXE files directly either). My workaround in chrome is to right click the link and...

Here's a recent discovery of mine regarding the unused hologram character Merlin in the Wing Commander movie. The film was shot to include all his scenes and his deletion had a knock-on effect for nearly all other elements of the film. Merlin was Blair's PPC (Personal Portable Computer), a...

Even in the brief snippets of Rodriguez we actually do see in the final movie, he doesn't appear to be the lowest rank. He actually seems to be the most senior person in the torpedo room. When the claw takes a hit and they ask for a damage report, it's Rodriguez that answers. And then in the...

The way the game is designed, the heavier ships weren't necessarily the best. I played a ton with the Darket Dragonfly, which was arguably one of the lightest armored ships in the game. But you could literally fly circles around every other ship and outrun missiles, so as long as you could...

You can stop the voiceovers in the intro by just not setting up the digital sound to soundblaster. If it's set to a card not capable of digital speech like an adlib it should just show you the subtitles

Amazing! You're a rock star here. I'm blown away by how fast you're knocking out these revisions but maybe that's just years of stagnation showing through. This is such a boon to the community at large and I'm grateful for it. I can't wait to see what everyone gets up to with how much easier...

Yeah, it was a pretty great experience unlike anything else at the time. Nothing else has quite captured that weekly anticipation. Still, Secret Ops and Prophecy were still relatively successful at the time and the reasons for the series disappearance are many and convoluted. EA/Origin...

As for the audio issues I'm not entirely convinced this isn't a driver issue or output problem. It feels like windows is defaulting to a different audio device than the one used by the regular video codecs and that AC3 and so on when played by the overlay are defaulting to your digital output...

Is it possible that for whatever reason your AC3 is defaulting to digital out or to some other output mode that isn't your default when running the movies? Another possible culprit is the DVD overlay which windows is treating like a second window. For whatever reason windows likes to mute...

Not necessarily. VLC IIRC defaults to some kind of FFMpeg implementation. The way a game decides which codec to use for processing is sort of more complicated. Somewhere directx is likely mishandling telling the game what output mode to use for audio or possibly even telling it to use the...

Are we talking about the DVD video packs or the HD fan-upscaled movie packs? It still sounds like a codec issue but the specific reason it's failing to play audio could vary. Even with K-lite installed you might still need to tweak some things with the codec tweak tool. Sometimes you also...

My money is still that it's some kind of monitor/tv wrap for stores that might be showing the WC3 trailer VHS or something on a loop. Still, that doesn't necessarily need to be the case either as the fact that it's could be cut up and reconfigured any which way means it doesn't need to fold at...

Whatever the inflight guns are on the victory, you can see a pair of huge capship guns outside the window in those renders. I assume they are also anticapship guns of some sort and not the turrets that would be shooting down fighters. So presumably gunnery control might have some control over...
