Hey guys,
Maybe I'm just missing something but I appear to have a bug with the X-Wing game GOG just posted (also didn't see a thread specific to this game). After I complete Operation 1 in the "Tour" it just keeps bringing me back to the same mission instead of progressing me to Operation 2. Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks

I have a different X-Wing game bug. I cannot fly straight in X-Wing. I tried calibrating the joystick with [alt]+[c] but that just does not work. Also game images are distorted to fill my new widescreen monitor. And it seems that I am not able to contact you for help - your contact us does not work and your email is hidden.

I hope you can fix these problems with your game/site. I'd like to think you can sell quality games, and am hopeful that you will fix these issues. :-)


Update: Someone posted to use the Windows Joystick test & calibration under Control Panel - Devices & Printers. I had to fish around some to find the calibration link, but that fixed things and X-Wing works great for me.

Thanks for all your help on these forums guys & GOG. Fantastic.

As yyahoo posted above, please post your question here. Others familiar with the game may be able to help you.

If the support form is not working right now, I suggest you try again later.

As yahhoo was suggesting in the previous post: there are subforums for each game/series and you're most likely to find help and solutions to problems there.

Anyway, you're talking about X-Wing 1998, right? ALT+C is from the DOS version, AFAIK the Windows version does not include internal calibration. Another user with the same problem got rid of it by calibrating his stick in Windows (in the Devices and Printers section). If Windows is recognizing your stick properly so should the game. Many people are having similar issues, though, and you should easily find several porential solutions in the subforums linked to by the others.

Edit: Semi ninja'd.

F4LL0UT,

Thanks much! Check Windows joystick calibration! Good deal. Will try that now.

Thanks again.
F4LL0UT - X-Wing works absolutely great now!!! Many, many thanks. And I have a widescreen monitor now, back in the 90s I did not, so I expected a warped look on screen. Well, the game fills the screen, but all the proportions are correct. GOG fixed all that and did a great job.

Only problem is no beeping tone when locking a missile or torpedo on target like the game had in the 90s. Perhaps if I monkey around with some of the sound settings, or if I get past the historical combat and into a tour of duty, I might get the tone. But if not, the game, and what GOG has done to fix it, is absolutely wonderful.

Thanks F4LL0UT & GOG!!
