Info for my fellow Sins players and old geeks like me..........
How sad to bump yourself........
Hmm... never played any of the Wing Commanders before. Will give this a shot then.
BTW should have put it in PC gaming.
Thanks, wbino. And +1 karma.
I loved the Wing Commander series way back when and even got the Freespace2 Open Source sequels. It's been a while though and I'm not familiar with the WC Saga.
I'm looking forward to checking it out.
WHOA!!!! Dude GREAT looking out on this. 2 days before my birthday too!!! The Wing Commander series was the first truly great space fighter sim. The fact that YOU actually changed the story with your actions and it was represented in the missions and how the war played out was amazing for it's time. Man I can't wait. Time to go buy a new flight stick.
Looking forward to checking this out!

I played the first few missions, and it looks like a pro development team polished product. Amazing...
One of the best give-aways I've seen in a long time. Thanks for the link........
I have to say this looks great and I am downloading it as we speak.
I hear it does not incorporate all the latest graphical improvements for this engine?
That's correct. The Wing Commander Saga team forked their code a little while ago (meaning they now have a separate code base from FreeSpace 2 Open), and since then soft particles, thruster distortion, and framebuffer shockwaves have been added to FreeSpace 2 Open, along with experimental builds that contain shadowing, not mentioning the various fixes and code optimizations that WCS has missed out on. WCS has also removed useful features from the engine such as custom launch flags and the mainhall ship model viewer, and it also is not compatible with the standard launcher used for FreeSpace 2 Open, requiring their launcher which has greatly decreased user options compared to the standard FreeSpace 2 Open launcher. They've also added very few features FS2O doesn't have, so general consensus on the forums that host the FS2O Source Code Project is that their code fork was pretty useless since their engine doesn't do much for either them in terms of features or you in terms of options.
DLing now... very cool. Last time I played any WC was when I downloaded Secret Ops, so kinda cool I am doing the same thing now over a decade later.
Darn...I'll bet I wish I still had my tricked out joystick for this.
