    I've Created a WC4 HD Video Pack

    You possibly need the updated opengl DLL. Try copying this one to your prophecy install directory and see what happens https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/attachments/gl_00007-zip.12178/

    Deleted WC Movie Scene Adds Interesting Relationship Context (April 10, 2023)

    Yes! The novel used the shooting script as a basis, so all the deleted scenes appear in the novel

    Deleted WC Movie Scene Adds Interesting Relationship Context (April 10, 2023)

    There's a handful of scenes that don't show up in any of the workprints I've seen from the movie, so I've recreated these from the raw takes. These are work in progress edits with no real sound enhancement and minimal attempts to at least make the color consistent (though sometimes the footage...

    Cool 3D Console Effect Barely Visible in WC Movie Time Slice (March 25, 2023)

    Here's another little detail I've never noticed in the Wing Commander movie before. [[ChrisReid: "Which is saying A LOT coming from AD!"]] In the Time Slice sequence there's a 3D effect layered over the lights on the panels behind Blair and Angel. Alas, it's nearly imperceivable in the final...

    Creature effects from Wing Commander 3

    The credits are listed in some of the manuals (and probably in the game itself as well). https://download.wcnews.com/files/manuals/Wing%20Commander%20III%20PSX%20-%20Manual.pdf The Kilrathi suits are credited to Precision Effects. There are several suit technicians and operators listed there...

    Superb Titles From the WC Movie (February 24, 2023)

    Going from memory it's a little bit odd. It almost seems like one of the Kilrathi/Confed capships switches sides somewhere in the edit. I don't know if that was intentional or if they were just padding out the previs fleets and never intended them to be on that side. Regardless, the...

    Superb Titles From the WC Movie (February 24, 2023)

    The evolution of these during production is interesting. The approach to the claw doesn't really change much at all, except that nearly every cut save for the final calls it the C.S.S. Tiger Claw. Most of the preliminary titles are also green instead of blue The Concordia Battle Group...

    WC Prophecy: Controller ReMapping?

    There's no need to apologize. And were here - if for nothing else - to help out fans enjoy their WC games. I'm glad you got it working. At the very least someone might see it and realize their own solution so it's never for nothing.

    BREAKING NEWS: Wing Commander LP Inbound (December 29, 2022)

    Unless I missunderstood something this is just a vinyl release of the already existing Oldziey orchestral project. You can buy CDs and digial downloads from his site and if you never did that already, what are you waiting for? ;)

    Back That Achilles Up (December 19, 2022)

    There's a couple spots in the WC movie where they used editing to try and make things seem bigger than they are... There's obviously the Rapiers during the scramble that you've already mentioned. The flight deck was filmed 'Titanic' style where they built half of it and then mirrored it using...

    Does anyone remember that show? AWC

    I don't know if frequency was the biggest issue, but of course a less ambitious time table could be one of the tools needed to get back in the swing of things. The bigger things at play for the hiatus were personal things combined with Covid restrictions. I think some kind of project though has...

    WCProphecyHDPack Install Insert CD 1 probelm

    Almost certainly. Similarly to if you wanted to use the model update pack, you would unpack the WEP into your prophecy directory (but don't run the installer), apply the openGL patch and then finally copy over the updated DLL. Let me know if that gets you up and running.

    Star Citizen Commemorates First Decade of Development with WC Easter Egg (October 10, 2022)

    I'd be surprised if that's even a new video. It's pretty lite on spoilers honestly... there's no dialogue so nothing is really in context for it to be really a spoiler at all. The first two min or so are things weve seen in various ISC videos over the last two years, and the various face tech...

    WCProphecyHDPack Install Insert CD 1 probelm

    I believe we solved this over on Discord. For anyone else looking for a solution, make sure you install the patches in the correct order. There's a few different steps where it could break. For reference: 1. Install the game - Most likely this will only be an issue with the GOG version anyway...

    WC4 GOG No Music During Missions

    Pretty sure you can just burn past the station and ignore it. It takes a while to get far enough past to autopilot but I don't think you actually ever have to blow it up, unlike when you try and leech fighters but the next wave won't trigger until you just kill the defenseless pilots. You...

    Inventory: Wing Commander Academy Co-Belligerents (October 5, 2022)

    Well, yes, I guess I worded it poorly. I wasn't meaning the tech couldn't be repurposed against aliens (which presumably have DNA of some sort) but rather that they weren't really a target of Tolwyn's plan (that we know of, but I should consult the novel to be sure). The specific bioweapon...

    Inventory: Wing Commander Academy Co-Belligerents (October 5, 2022)

    Would it even work on non-humans? It seems pretty tailored to killing humans with specific traits (and possibly traits more prevalent in border-worlds).

    Interview Chris Roberts - Mark Hamill (wing commander 3 1994)

    Thanks for sharing! I don't think I've seen this one before. I had to laugh at Mark Hamill calling the Kilrathi a 'demented version of Garfield.' I was curious so I looked up which magazine it's from and I found an issue of 'PC Fun' over at archive.org that could be it...
