I am afraid that the final game will need at least another year to be finished. We are simply too busy with our real lifes. Unless you can find us another FREDer (or two), which I doubt, the final version will not come out until the end of the next year, if everything goes as planned.

Thank you for this update, even when it makes me a bit sad... :( If only I had the abilities to help you with the best mod in this universe (only BtRL could compare IMO).

I just read about this project in a Belgian games magazine yesterday. And as quickly as I could, I downloaded it, and I must say that I am completely awestruck!

Incredible work!

Interesting. Which magazine was that? Any chance for a scanned article? ;)

I've  run into a glitch. The first time I played the game, my fighter automatically did a counterclockwise roll. It stopped doing this the second time I played. But it just recently started happening again. It does this automatically and I can't stop it. If I want to roll clockwise, I still roll counterclockwise only slower. I loved playing the game without the glitch (it brought back memories of when I play WC games past) and the glitch is really annoying and it makes me dizzy

I had this when one of two things happend. First my joystick was bad calibrated and had some screws lose so it was a hardware bug but it can also happen if you haven't calibrated your joystick right. I also noticed that my PC sometimes "forgets" the calibration when starting the next day independently from what game I play.
Second thing was with my mouse. I got a new optical one and when its in a bad angle to the ground it starts to move the pointer or in this case the fighter.
Don't know if that helps but was something that happend to me.

Two possible explanations:

1. joystick is not properly calibrated
2. joystick is not working properly (that is what happened to me the other day)

So how do i calibrate it?

 
At least with Vista it's:

Control Panel->Game Controllers->Properties->Settings

Although some joysticks come with their own calibrating software.

The launcher itself has a big calibrate button on the joystick tab. If that doesn't work though simply press F2 in-game, go to the control config and turn of your Rx or XY axis (Can't remember which one it is but it's the only joystick axis that doesn't have a single axis).

Don't forget to check out our tech demos while waiting (some people forget to try them.)
And if you still like to to some new stuff then, try FRED, it is an easy to use mission editor, you can create your own missions with it and post them for other fans to play.  :)

Great job!!!Veeery proffesional and stunning... I was late to work cuz of that:) Good move with this WC1 tune in briefing luuuuuuuvly Thanks veeeery much.

 
Hello WC Saga Crew

I just downloaded the Prologue and was fascinated by the old WC feeling that came up when I started to play.
I have found some bugs but they may only have occured on my system (hardware related).

First:

The autopilot system works but loses connection with the cap in mission 2 very quickly and the waypoints switch too slow or are not enough apart.

Second:

After the fight starts I am very quicly on the debriefing.  because it says I left my wingmans and died allone. But that is not the point. I keep up with my wingmans till the fire starts. If I really die (maybe a missile or something), then there should be a explosion or whatever scene. I just start to maneuver and bang I am on debriefing. What the heck? Was I too far from the fight or something?

I hope you guys make that missions more bulletproof!

Other than that: I am glad some guys have talent and make Wing Commander again interresting for a old "WC1-WC5 Blair" like me :) Thanks alot!!!

You need to stay closer to the transport. Will be fixed in the patched version.

You and your team have done an incredible job on this project.  No denying you have brought the Wing Commander most of us remember back in a big way.

I, along with countless others, eagerly await the next installment.  In the meantime, is there any way we could get a taste of the Excalibur on a sim mission (like the endurance ones for the Arrow, Hellcat and Thunderbolt)?

Keep up the great work and best of luck.

-Mike
