    GOG Launches Preservation Program with Wing Commander Discounts (November 13, 2024)

    Emulation and compatibility software are always in a state of motion. You were always better using GOG to get the main game files and setting it up yourself. I haven't used base dosbox in over a decade. Also, I don't view an issue with ancient dosbox as a broken game. Setting things up has...

    WC3 DosBox -- Afterburner TAB key solutions ?

    Simplest solution is to get a joystick. If you love space sims, it probably wouldn't be too far out of your way or set you back too much. I love my Thrustmaster T16000m. Have had it for years and it never drifts, unlike many a junk logittech or saitek joystick I've bought over the decades...

    Wing Loader (KS/WCDX) Loader & Voice Over Mod

    Makes sense. In Wine (and therefor proton) , you have to specify if you are using a native library which is the windows library that comes with the app vs the built-in one which is wine's version. Built-in is default. Very important to note if you are attempting dll overrides in other apps.

    Check out Origin’s Gorgeous Floppy Plane Art (July 8, 2024)

    Pedant man strikes again! (but hey this is a fan forum so I'm in good company). A-10 is designated as the Thunderbolt II. "Warthog" is a nickname that most people know it by. Just as the F-16 Fighting Falcon is nicknamed as the "Viper."

    Wing Commander 1 AI enhanced Characters

    Well I think you are misinterpreting the hair in the original sprite. It's suppose to be short curly black. As for the face, the original sprite is perhaps a little lighter but definitely African. Yours Id think of as Middle Eastern or Indian.

    Wing Commander 1 AI enhanced Characters

    I'd make many guesses from where that version of Knight is from, but I'm afraid South Africa wouldn't be on the list. The uniforms are starting to look a lot closer/consistent though.

    Wing Commander 1 AI enhanced Characters

    Really neat. I find the AI's decisions on the backgrounds distractingly hilarious. Like I can see why it made the choices it did without the full context. I don't know if there is a way to isolate the foreground from the background and do those separately?

    Wing Commander IV DVD edition on Linux

    If emulation is the way with the origional patch, I believe PCemu/86box already have 3dfx emulation. Though it's a pain to set up. Honestly I think the method for playing these movies, specifically Odvs' enhanced versions just needs to be redone from the ground up.

    Wing Loader (KS/WCDX) Loader & Voice Over Mod

    Excellent! Yeah Im in the same boat with WCP/WCIV DVD patches. Maybe one day someone will do a libvlc type patch. That really does work well for WC3

    Wing Commander III Enhancement Patch

    Oh yes, absolutely. I've never been able to get the DVD patch to work for WCP or WC4 in linux wine. I know some people have had some luck but I find the whole thing extremely finicky. But this new libvlc method is working wonders for WC3. Here is to hoping!

    Wing Commander III Enhancement Patch

    Such an absolute joy trying this out last night! Seriously a dream come true. Thank you! On a future update, i was curious if you had given any thought to adding in some of the cut content? news reels, Hobbs scene, ect.. Would that be possible with this method of playing video?
