In Their Courses

The Wing Commander Saga mod for FreeSpace 2 has published five new screenshots showing off their stars... literally! Tolwyn says: "In keeping with the tradition of Wing Commander, we have tried to make space look like more than an empty void with background stars merely for reference. Rather, we portray it as being filled with beautiful starscapes, planets, and astronomical phenomena with unique features for each star system."

DVD Owners, Sound On!

A user with the appropriate nickname of Friendly Help has posted a useful tool to the forums: an updated Wing Commander IV DVD fix. If you're having trouble with gulikoza's fantastic patch, then give this new release a try. It includes a similar workaround and an AC3 filter for those still dealing with sound issues.
