Well, I had 16 MB of RAM and a 6x speed CD-ROM drive. I still own some parts of this computer as I migrated them from a big tower into a smaller desktop case, but it was not on for a long time thus the battery is probably empty.

I once had an old manual that indeed showed, that the Centurion had 4 weapon slots. There were black/white cockpit ingame screens that confirmed exactly what the above pictures showed. The Centurion had one tractor beam, one proton torpedo launcher and two missile launchers. But I'm afraid, I...

Oh yeah, the back to the good old times. It really felt like a better world then (well just perhaps because I was younger). Time was flying by much slower... ... I miss the good old times. Every Saturday was Wing Commander III day. Playing the game on my 486DX4 up and down... Damn... it's hard...

Oh man, I've really seen some of this stuff before. But alas... it's really a pity! Well, sounds like a good story for me. Would definitely have loved to play this! Privateer 2 was really bad compared to the "original"...

Yeah, I'm angry with myself that I've spent money on this game. Would never ever do it again... We were promised some ship shapes USB sticks. Nothing ever has happened...

So, this means I'll need to find time to play the game again and try this one out ... Last time, all factions except Retros were friendly or neutral. Anyway, I think the good ol' games still were designed much more thoroughly than today. You had no internet and needed to check everything out...

Thank you LOAF for the explanation! @Pedro: I can't wait to play the game. I really wanted to play Wing Commander IV again for a long time. But you know that... every time something else comes in between... and your project gives me the power to wait a bit until it's finished. Now I just...

Oh oh... I see I've started another discussion with my comments on the green color. The olive green really does look a lot better. I realize, of course, that from a Wing Commander point of view, everything has to be historically accurate. That's why you can't use the color scheme from Wing...

No problem Pedro, I am convinced that you will manage it - as always. 😁 Think of it as feedback rather than criticism. Anyway, the green Arrows still hurt my eyes... 😝

The new model looks really great! Excellent work! But... is it only me... or are the spotlights in the hangar bay too colorful? Well, I mean it just looks too "playful". Just because it's possible to use so many colored lights doesn't mean you should. I would decrease the brightness by about 20...

Yes, that's correct. If your standing gets better and better torwards the affected faction (e.g. torwards Hunters, when you shot down Retros) the number of times you have to use the communication option 3 decreases again. When I played Privateer the last time, I was able to get Pirates and...

Yes, taunting indeed makes a difference, but this does not work on normal or story missions. Use communication option 4 to taunt a friendly ship. Even friendly merchants will attack you, if you just repeat it often enough! More interesting: As far as I remember you can use communication option...

The cockpit pictures are wrong associated on the 5th picture: First picture shows Tarsus, not Galaxy. Third picture shows Centurion, not Tarsus. Last picture shows Galaxy, not Centurion. Obviously only the Orion is really correct 😁 Privateer 1 is still my favorite Wing Commander game of all...

I wish you all the best - get well soon! Take all the time you need to recover... we can party anyday... as long as you're still with us!

Yeah, I know what you mean... I'm always trying to produce the best results for the projects I'm working on. But I'm afraid, I don't have a lot of time for projects and for Wing Commander anymore. Yeah, it feel's like time is running faster and faster as you're getting older. It still feels like...

The quality of the intro is incredible! Really fantastic and a big step compared to the DVD version! I mean... I own the original DVDs but I have to admit that especially the sound of the original DVDs is really bad compared to the "old" episodes that were available here on the CIC back in...

You're welcome and keep up the EXCELLENT work!

Thank you very much for your quick response! You can use a command line in windows using cmd.exe and switch to the folder with the MP4-files. Then just use: ren *.MP4 *.VOB That just changes the extension for all MP4 files to VOB.

I've downloaded the German Version 4.0 and recognized that the included files are now MP4 files and no longer VOB files. I've not had the time to test it yet... just wanted to ask, if this is correct? Anyway, thanks for the improved video quality. It is just AWESOME!

Four little words: "This is just awesome!". Can't wait to play it when it's ready! I never liked the original WC4 Cockpit and preferred the WC3/Armada version with visual cockpits and not just a HUD.
