I said I tried the editor's fix but didn't work

Yeh your joystick is probably not calibrated, need to centre it by going to its settings in the control panel.

on the second mission (escorting the transport) the game locks up just after leaving the carrier. I have tried it on 2 pc's and on both it does the same. help!

Hey all,

I tried using "Loadfix -1" and I still have that same issue with Mission 2 as some other people. It seems that the mission is trying to run, but nothing happens.

Any help would be totally sweet!

Used to have this game on the Amiga when I was a kid, and played it competetively against my friends who also had it. We were all trying to complete it first. I got pretty hot at blowing Kilrathi outta the sky, but was horrified to find that a friend of mine, who was useless at the game, would limp home with a single kill, his ship in tatters, and be awarded all kindsa cool medals.
After a little experimentation, I discovered to my horror that the best way to get medals is to get really beaten up before returning to base. No justice in the world, eh? Great game though: thanks so much for posting this one on the site, guys.

is there anyplace to download wing commander 3...i remember that game years ago..... beat the game it was the best space shooting game i ever played....

OK, I am new at dosbox... I can't get it mounted, and if I do it otherwise, it runs extremely fast and without sound. How do I get it to run on Dosbox SPECIFICALLY. Any help majorly appreciated.

Cancel that, got it to work. The sound is annoying... Keeps skipping. Anyway, I havn't gotten to lv 2 yet, so I don't know about that problem yet.

Using DOSBox, I was able to get Wing Commander running alright on my rig. But the game seemed a little slow. I didn't fly any missions, but I messed with the training simulator a bit. For time references, the clock on my simulator went down about 10 units every second; i.e. a time of 730 means you have 73 seconds left. This seems right, but those cannons seemed to fire a lot quicker back in 1994 :crazy: .

It also took the salthi's a long time to kill me - in fact, time ran out before they finished me off. I made it real easy for 'em, slowing down and running straight.

In any case, I can't tell you how glad I am to see a WC community (if only a segment of a larger gaming community) around and kicking!

Thanks

this is really strange, as the game had even in the first release only 11 5 1/2" floppies. (actually it was my first self bought game). maybe it's some strange kind of copy protection? just guessing....
