I have a widescreen monitor and I can't fit the game in-screen completely. Is there any way to run the games in a window? I tried alt-enter, but that did not work. Thanks. Lunitari

I just bought a new widescreen monitor, and WC and WC 2 are not running so well. It occoured to me that these old games are running in like 320x200, and so when the image gets stretched it cuts the entire top of the cockpit off. Is there something I can do to get the full image?

Has anyone noticed the weird "crosshair" effect in the lens flare? It is very noticeable in higher res, such as 1280x1024. I am switching between the glide wrapper and Direct3D, but the weird crosslines are in each bubble of the lens flare. Is there any way to make that go away without either...

I apologize if this has been covered before, but I could not find anything in the forums about it. Both WC and WC2 run fine, but I have a little bit of a speed issue in WC2. I am not talking about in-flight, because I use the "alt-m" to increase to 25 fps. It is the cutscenes I am having...

Now that there is an emulator capable of playing SWC, I went onto eBay and found a brand new copy of the 3DO SWC for eight dollars. This is gonna rule.

I have followed several different series of games over the years. Naturally, the Wing Commander series has been my personal favorite. What caught your eye in each game? What do you remember most fondly about each of the games? 01) Wing Commander - I remember the first time I blew up an enemy...

This might be my least-favorite mission in the original Wing Commander. Is it even possible to save the Ralari? It seems to blow up just seconds after I show up.

One thing I never did understand was the bouncing back and forth in the various games of how fighters tackle capital ships. In the first game you could destroy them with guns or missiles. In WC2 you needed torpedoes because of the phase-shielding. In WC3 you were back to being able to take out...

I noticed that on the ground missions in WC4, if you cut your engines to zero, you can still hang there in the air without crashing to the ground. Are fighters equipped with some sort of manuevering thrusters to keep them afloat?

Jumping around from various Wing Commanders, I am curious to know if people either preferred cockpits, or just a HUD. I remember what first captured my attention when I first saw a demo of Wing Commander back in '90 was the detail of the cockpit, and the hand wrapped around the joystick that...

So, if you could have a shot at one of these WC ladies, whom would it be? 01) Rachel (WC3) 02) Angel (WC3) 03) Panther (WC4) 04) Sosa (WC4) 05) Stilletto (WCP) 06) Flint (WC3) I won't put the CAG on the list, because I have heard rumors that Chris Reid wants to date her. :D...

Well, just finished Wing 3, and that should satiate my WC3 craze for some time. Now....what to play next. This particular WC marathon has had no chronological order, so I think I will play through the original WC again. Just to spice things up a bit, I think I will put the Wing Commander movie...

I am having problems with the mission where you escort the Victory to the jump point. After Rollins screams that the jump point is gone, I mop up all the fighters and the carrier, I get the "mission objectives accomplished" message, and then the Victory blows up. Am I doing something wrong?

Man, I have tried just about everything. I have reinstalled the game about half a dozen times, tried every compatibility setting, set priority to "low," played the game in a window, tried that fan-made Win 2000 patch. A lot of people talk about how the game only freezes once in a great while for...

I had forgotten how powerful the mace missile is in SO2. I blew up a Dorkathi and Maniac with it.

Is it just me, or does it seem like missiles are much less effective in WC 2 than the original Wing Commander? I remember about 60 to 70 percent of my missiles hitting their targets in the first game. Do all enemy ships now have counter measures as well?

I have always wondered, and now that we have this lovely tool called the internet, I can properly conduct my little poll. I have been playing the Wind Commander games since 1990, and for the first five years or so I was used to fighting and killing Kilrathi. I watched them slaughter friends and...

It has been a long time since I have seen a copy of WC3 in the 8MM-style box, but here is one on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62053&item=8178957706&rd=1

WC2 SO1 problems I unzipped Special Ops and tried running it, but it crashes before it ever gets started. I have tried various compatibility modes. Any suggestions? WC 2 KS was just fine.

I have everything set up, joystick enabled, and I type "Priv" and it goes to load, and then it crashes and I get the "JEMM Unloaded" message. What does that mean? Do I need to mess around with the config file some more?
