    wc3_enhancementpatch1t.jpgThere's great news for fans of the Wing Commander III and IV enhancement patches: creator Mash has updated both of them! This version overhauls ship rotation and adds higher precision movement, which fixes some existing bugs. The default frame rate is now 60 fps and LODs are now locked to the highest level of detail. In our testing, it's the smoothest Wing Commander III and IV experience yet! You can download updated versions at the patches' respective Githubs:

    Wing Commander III:

    Ship rotations upgrades:
    • higher precision rotation.
    • updated the precision of axis movement for joysticks from the original range of (-16 to 16) to (-256 to 256).
    • enhanced rotation matrix calculations for all ships, player and non-player.
    • added a separate matrix for the player for even greater precision. Enabled by default, this can be disabled in

    Do I Make You Hornet?

    Back in 2023, we reported on a very cool 3D printed Tarsus made by Cpt. Streets. At the time he promised that a Hornet was up next... and here it is! This is truly spectacular work, complete with a cool base with a printed deck crew. This is one of the coolest printed Wing Commander ships I've seen so far!

    It´s a 3D Print an about 9cm (3,5") long...Scale is 1:160 or "Spur N" (for miniature train builders)And it is resin. The file is a mash-up from several (I think 2) Hornets found somewhere in the web.Some parts are modified and other parts are added after print from several vintage spare plastic model kits (most of the details)I add the plastic parts und painted it. But I did not make or print the 3D resin model. This was done by a friend.

    And here are some shots of it under construction, including what it looked like before painting and further customization. Actually, the transparent red is pretty
