Congrats- your work is amazing and I'm very impressed with the game. One of the best mods I've ever seen and truly faithful to the WC legacy.

I thought I'd add that one of you modders working on the dev should hit up the freespace source folks to add a better mouse-flight system to the engine- a mouse flight system like Microsoft did with their Freelancer game. I know I'm talking to a bunch of hard-core simmers, but I haven't seen my Thrustmaster in about 10 years and won't be replacing it anytime soon. The way it is now, mouse basically isn't an option for flight control, and that can be improved- it would terrifically expand your audience. I bet it's not too much to ask, for that feature to be added over the next couple of years.

I know I'm getting in here a bit late, but I just realized that I never complimented you guys on the Prologue release.  I've never played any of the Wing Commander games myself, but from the moment I loaded up the Prologue, I was utterly blown away.  The care and professionalism you guys have shown while putting this all together shines through loud and clear.  From the opening cutscene onward, I was completely engrossed in the WC universe.  Once I managed to get the hang of a gameplay style that was quite a bit different than my FS experiences, the missions were fantastically fun.  The voiceacting beats quite a few professionally-released games that I've played; I only wish I was able to perform at that level.  The interface looks great, the fiction was superbly written (the fact that I felt emotional ties to the characters after only two or three entries speaks volumes to me), and the entire package was just about perfect.  I'm eagerly awaiting your full release, and in the meantime, I might just have to see if I can get my hands on any of the WC titles. :)

Edit:  LtRud, I believe that greatly improved mouse control is on the SCP's drawing board, although I seem to remember that it's still a little ways off.

Thanks for the input guys, it's appreciated :)

As for the mouse, take a look here :

I have to admit that I'm not sure how it turns out or if this special build even works with WCS (but it should),
give it a try. And if you can, get yourself a joystick, you will need it for the main game. I think it will raise your surviving conditions  ;7

You mean dodging Kilrathi capship lasers? That was fun in the last mission of the prologue until I killed myself with my own missile explosion. :D

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

haha, that can happen. Although the most idiotic experiece happened to me in the autopilot demo : I killed the transport - Vagabond says over the comm "time to head on home" - gets hit by debris - ejects - his fighter blows up :)

Just downloaded it, first Freespace 2 mod I've played (besides BTRL :D) in several years, and I was definitely far from disappointed. You guys have done a great job here, I love the mod, I love the cutscenes, the voice acting - everything shenes of a proffessional touch. Very good show :)

Noticed a Bug of sorts while playing:
(might have been brought up before)

      I was playing the mission where you have to escort the freighter in an Arrow, and end up fighting some pirate scum in Demon and Razor fighters. Your missions have this thing where when you fail a mission, you cut to the debriefing. In this particular attempt, my fighter got shot down by missiles and exploded. So then I got the "quick start mission, yadda yadda, yadda yadda" screen.

      But rather than quick start, I went away and refilled my drink, or something such that when I came back, the freighter had been destroyed and I was in the debriefing screen. So yeah, I'm sorry excuse for a pilot, whatever, shaddup commander, so then I hit the replay button. But when I restarted the mission, the "quickstart or 2 or 3" window was still open. So I just hit quickstart again (so the mission reloaded again) and played.

      But yeah, that's my sort of bug. Quickstart window stayed open when objectives were failed after fighter destroyed, even though pilot goes to debriefing in the interim.

sounds like an SCP bug. I'll forward it to the developers :)

Re: Prologue Released! / What about Linux version?
Hey,

what about the linux version?

And anyway what errors are in there? Being desperate I installed it with wine and copied over the files to a mod in the fs2_open_3_6_9 folder.

With the right command line settings it did work great and I didn't notice any problems.

So what did I miss out ? :D

Anyway, wow this was a really polished game / mod with a huge manual and really cool fights.

Really good! :yes:

One thing however that I noticed were that the bombers were very FS2 like in their behaviour. I remember them being different from original WC.

I guess without huge AI changes this can't be changed though ...

  I remembered the old glory days when i was playing that game some years before.
  The feeling is not the same...is better.
 
  I was searching on the internet to find any news about wing commander without any luck.
  But when i finally show your site i could not believe in my eyes.
  The search of the Holy Grail had come to an end!!!
 
  Keep up the good job. I look forward to get the game when it will be completed.

  The gameplay is great, the graphics are great...you are great!!!!

So guys, nearly one jear since your great demo-release. Since then I hoped to see the final version within 2007 (maybe as a big bang for X-Mas). But it seems as if my wish won´t come true. I´d like to hear something about the actual status of this mod, because the status-link on your website seems to be outdated (I hope...). As the demo came out someone posted that the final version needed about 2 more years. I still hope this is not true...Please give a X-mas present to us all  :)
