I know it's going OT, but in the UK naval bases get two names. One is the actual base name and one is an honourary ship name. Eg. RNAS Culdrose is also HMS Seahawk, RNAS Portland is also HMS Serepta. (RNAS = Royal Naval Air Station, HMS = Her Majesty's Ship). Perhaps bases in WC do have a...

It is USB. (sorry should've said). I've looked through all the stuff Martini Doctor posted and tried it all, (frequently banging head on desk while heading for USB hub) but still no joy. Like I say, my analogue gamepad configures fine so it's just the joystick. If anyone else has the Wingman...

Too right Chris. Anyhow retro is trendy right now. :D Although it is a bit harder than I remembered! Grrrr. Damn transports turning right in front of you when you're at full afterburner! And I forgot there aren't decoys in the early games. Hey-ho. I guess I'll just have to remember to out-run...

Okay, my fault that we went off-topic into strange exchange rates. Doubly my fault for being dumb enough to forget that parts of Europe now use the Euro. I'll keep any further comments about that to myself, not wanting to start a war. :) I'd just like to thank everyone for their input. I must...

Hi Chris. Thanks for the info. but still no joy (no pun intended!). I've tried starting from scratch and just installing in DOSBox, then out of DOSBox to windows to apply the windows patch (no DOS patch this time!). Still the same result. I even tried making a "windows" CD1 using the full...

Okay. I know £ to €. (1 euro= 0.65 pounds sterling) I just forgot that Germany had gone Euro. Silly me. 2 copies of SWC for 3DO on ebay.co.uk. Should probably close around 15-20euros for those in europe.

I've been trying this too with installing P2. I've managed to do the DOS installation in DosBox. Then Dos patch and Windows patch. It sees my USB joystick, but refuses to calibrate properly regardless of what I've tried (even unplugging the joystick). Wierdly it calibrates my gamepad fine, but...

Martini Doctor, Have you tried Ebay UK? There are always a couple of 3DO versions of SWC on there for not more than £10 including postage. (About 30DM? I can't remember the exchange rate!). Postage within Europe should be fairly small. Of course you'd be faced with it not working "quite" right...

Hi d3r3k. I thought VegaStrike was going to be just that, but then it seemed to veer away from it at the last minute. And what about the Privateer Remake? Are there more difficult licencing issues with WC1 and 2 over Privateer that would stop such a remake, or is Priv just that much more...

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Martini Doctor, I'm tempted to do the same, start at WC3 and enjoy the "movie effect". But if I can get nostalgic enough I might go back further. Hi Bob, "Super Wing Commander"? That's only for Mac or 3DO right? I've got a mac, but have no idea where to...

Having finally got more than ten minutes spare since I last rebuilt my PC, I have re-installed all my Wing Commander games, and am now left with the dilemma - Where to start? Should I go all Mark Hamill and start with WC3? But then every time I go into the Kilrathi Saga launcher I see WC1 and...

Have you got permission to land? Unlike WCP the first games needed you to get landing clearance before juts swooping into the carrier bay. Hit T until the carrier is targetted, then C for comms and 1 for "request landing clearance".
