    This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut movie night planned on Discord this evening! The ongoing theme will be movies that are referenced by Wing Commander in some way. Tonight's film is Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) and you can find details on why we're watching it in the announcement post here. The movie will start at 7 PM PST/10 PM EST but feel free to drop by and hang any time!

    The last time we checked in with 3D printer modeler Tyrel Lohr they were putting together an impressive fleet of ships from Wing Commander Armada. Now they're back with more Wing Commander ships and are getting a little carried away... or should we say carrier'd away? Lohr has created printable 3D versions of the original Snakeir design from The Secret Missions 2 and, most exciting of all, the Hakaga carrier from the cover of Fleet Action! Doing the Hakaga in the original game's style makes so much sense... after all, they're clearly artist Paul Alexander's interpretation of the Ralari as a heavy carrier! You can buy Lohr's wonderful models and print themselves for yourself through Cults.

    Wing Commander III is unique in the series in many ways... and one you may not know is that it was popular enough that they actually dubbed the entire game in Korean! Dubbing games--especially in languages other than French, German and Japanese--was a rare and expensive thing at the time. Unfortunately, the actors that dubbed the full motion video are not credited in the game itself. AD recently found a very low resolution image that purports to show them and we've been attempting to use it to find the correct credits.

    Here's what we've found so far! As you can see, we are still missing Tolwyn and the actor who did both Vagabond/Flash. If you can make out the image or you know more about accessing the Korean portion of the internet we'd love to know who they are! Our closest possibility for Vagabond/Flash is 황윤걸 (Hwang Yun-geol)... but we aren't confident enough to be sure.

    I made some tests with my different screens (sorry to my wife for wasting so much time at evenings, anyway).

    Anyway the fixed_height factor appears to be a relative height factor, not a fixed point size.
    In practice, it seems to scale with the screen…

    The strange part is that i am currently running 16:9 3840x2160. Therefore the same 4k that you run.
    For reasons I can not explain 0.025000 does not work, only 0.020000 does.
    However, I am pretty sure that when I lowered the setting from 0.035000 to…

    I am only on 16:9 (Full HD and 4K) and 3:2 (Surface Pro)

    But that issue appeared only on resolutions greater than 2k, so surface pro has 2880x1920 (3:2 Ratio) and on 4k 3840 x 2160 (16:9). On Full HD (my other laptop with 16:9 ratio too) this issue does…

    I still will update it to 0.020000 since for some reason 0.025000 does not work for me on this monitor.
    I am not sure why.
    Maybe its an issue with the aspect ratio. I am on 16:9. What is yours?
    In theory I can adjust it to a 21:9 mode and test the values…

    I could finally test it, and the font issue seems to be fixed. Sorry for reoping this thread :)
