Yay, people are still current about posting things on WC. Does anyone know if WCII and the Secret Missions are abandonware yet? or if not, is there a projected time when the statute of limitations fall? Also, in regards to the landing, you have to communicate to the Tiger Claw that you want to land, then fly to the front of the ship, slow down to < 100 KPS. You'll know you're in the front of the ship when the TC is skinny and you have a black line in front of you. Use ">""<" to roll your ship if you'd like to straighten yourself so you can see it better. Other commands:
F1: Front View
F2: Left Side View
F3: Right Side View
F4: Rear View
F5: Space View
Ctrl+E: Eject (first time you do it, you get the Golden Sun, after that it just hurts you. best to blow up and start mission over again.
Also, if you're loading the game from DosBox, the old Cheats still work too. Install the program to your desired location (I used "Wing") and instead of just typing "WC" to load it, you type (CASE SENSITIVE!!!) wc Origin -k
That makes you invincible, and you can destroy ships by just pressing alt+Delete. I played the game all the way through until the one mission where you find a lone Salthi, kill it, and 3 Graltha's show up. Maniac is your partner so you're kind of doomed to have it destroyed... cause he's a nut like that. (Shoot him down to bypass it though... it's actually part of the story)
But because I fly LIKE Maniac, and kill-happy for myself (Grand total of 156 Kills from beginning to end ;-D :-D LOL i kept telling my wingman to fly next to me and not engage while i killed everything ;-P) I started cheating at that point... ;-; i sorry. Although i Rarely used the alt+delete... only when the TC was about to be destroyed and i was kind of left with no option... i wanted to see the ending where you're victorious all the way through. I also hand-killed all the Kilrathi Aces, first with cheating, then without. If you're Victorious all the way through and get to the last spot where you destroy the base, It's a mother to not get killed.... you end up facing over 20 Kilrathi and of course they're all gunnin for you. At this point though, the game knows you've been cheating so >.> yea... that's my guess anyways.
Ok, sorry for the long post. I hope the commands up top help those with pursuing nostalgic tendencies, and hopefully someone can answer my question regarding the Sequels.
Thanks -Taran
