Please excuse my ignorance if this has been an event that I missed. I would love to attend a WC convention where we can meet, learn from each other, and experience our favorite WC versions on systems that we may have not been able to try. I also would love to check out other WC fans rarities...

DarkenedRoom, this is FANTASTIC! Thanks so much for doing this!!

I found this in my WC1 pc box. I remember running it in my Babbage's store in 1991...

Also, if you are going to get into 3do WC, check out my mapping of the CH FS pro 3do flight stick, and maintenance of the CH FS pro:

I fully agree with Bandit Loaf! I have found that Super WC on 3do is really good, (with the MAC version on a properly tuned MAC being the ultimate) but I totally agree with his assessment of WC3 on 3do. It is fantastic.

Just a side note- Calibrating the FS pro is VERY important. I calibrate before flying any mission in the simulator. First, Center both of the X and Y trim controls. Make sure you put the stick to its extreme diagonal, press fire (trigger) THEN (X), then move the stick to the opposite extreme...

The above reddit link shows an updated FS Pro control map with some updated functions for SWC. I also added pictures of the potentiometer restoration and teardown, and some explanations. So far, 2 WC fans have contacted me after they tried SWC and WC3 on 3DO, one with a FSPro they tuned up, the...

https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/my-mac-experience-with-super-wing-commander.28365/ Wow, this was almost 10 years ago...There are some posts previous to this where Bandit Loaf and I were discussing running SWC on a powerbook, but I never really got into the powerbook option once I built...

Hello SWC fans, I just realized that there is no reference on this fantastic website for what the 3DO Flightstck (3DO CH Flighstick Pro) controls are for Super Wing Commander. These flighstick controls are slightly different than the WC3 controls, which are nicely mapped on the WC CIC website...

What are you using for your memory settings? Sorry for the late reply; I just had time recently to do some WC stuff. It's funny how you can never get sick of WC, or even more for me, SWC...

Thanks for posting these! Quick Question, has anyone done a Super Wing Commander mission tree? Has anyone ever written a guide? I never saw either one, and SWC has always been a favorite of mine. Thanks, mk

UPDATE: After some more experimenting, on the IMac G3 333, I'm now running G3 Throttle at a wait state of 6, and I have PowerLogix Cache Control set to 111 mhz. This has improved the overall gameplay smoothness and stability a bunch. Even in melees with lots of ships, (including cap ships) this...

Ok, it's been a while since I had a chance to post. Here are some specs on what I've been running SWC on, I'm doing the IMac first: IMac G3 333 MHz, 128 gb ram, 1999 APPLE Blueberry 15" G3 iMac M4984 M7440L 333MHz 20GB HD, OS 9.1 I am running G3 Throttle set to a wait state of 7 for SWC on...

I am running G3 Throttle and Cache Control on OS 9.1. I don't think G3Throttle works in OSX or above...

More on Mac SWC - For those of you who have a G3 or G4; I have run across a really killer utility called PowerLogix cache control. http://www.macobserver.com/news/99/may/990525/g3cacheprofiler.html This, combined with G3 throttle, can get your SWC speed about perfect on a G3. I'm still...

Ok, so back on track. I have discovered that in my opinion the ideal Mac system for SWC (in reference to speed) is a Power Mac with a 604 running at about 120 or 132 MHZ. I'd suggest 64 mb of ram or more, (it's cheap enough) and 4mb of Vram or more. I would suggest OS9.1, as this has pretty...

I totally agree with your "Wings of St. Nazaire" reference. This would be something to see, a SWC in the St. Nazaire engine...If you like, e-mail me (remove the number 1's) and I can try to help with SWC on your iMac G4: 1mkdud1@aol.com .

Tell us about your iMac. Is it a G3? What processor? How much ram? Are you aware of an awesome app called G3Throttle? Do you have a Griffin iMate, or similar ADB to USB adapter? You may not have to go nuts trying to build a Power Mac, provided you have a proper iMac. ALSO, do NOT get rid of...

I guess a comment on SWC for the 3DO is warranted here. I did buy a 3D0 FZ-10 in December of 2015 primarily for SWC. I also managed to get a brand new CH Flightstick Pro for 3D0. I enjoy SWC on the 3DO, and also feel that WC3 is done pretty well on 3DO. I would say that it is fairly worth it to...

Over the past couple months, I have been working on restoring an older Power Mac (7300/200) as well as a original Blue Bondi Imac (G3 233) mainly for playing Super Wing Commander. Thanks to the advice from "Bandit LOAF" and others, I have finally assembled a machine that is playing Super Wing...
