Wing News&Orders&Misc.
***********************************************
Mandatory Wing Orders:

Wing II Veterans vs Rookies:

-TIEFREE-249
-XvTFREE-166
-XWAFREE-113

Fly one or all of the free missions. Flying more may help your team win.

Wing II Veterans vs Rookies: The wing orders are out and the competition to determine who presently has the upperhand in a head to head match of Veterans vs Rookies is starting today. The missions are attached. You'll see that two of the missions, TIE and XvT, are from the TIE Demo of Mareek Stele's very first mission ever. So give those old nastolgic missions a try.

The rules for the competition:
5pts for the winner of each platform, 3pts for second, 2 pts for third, 1pt for 4th or lower. Accumulated points will determine the winner to see if the Vets can spank the Rookies or if the Rookies can show the Vets what they're truley made of.

Magazine mention for the TIE Corps
04:12 - SA Astatine
The Australian gaming magazine, Hyper, recently ran a fairly comprehensive article on the history of Star Wars games. We get a mention as a fansite. COL Torres scanned the article pages and they're up here. Take note that some of the images are over 200k. The mention of the TIE Corps is on the 4th page.

Wing XVI WC Appointed
14:15 - HA Priyum Patel
Many congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Keller who has been selected as the new Wing Commander for Wing XVI!

In other news, I'm still looking for a new Tiger Squadron Commander. The Squadron flies the TIE Bomber, so if you're an active Freeworlds pilot looking for a command and enjoy dropping torps on hapless Rebels, let me know (spellfire@btinternet.com)!

Windows XP SP2 and You.
07:57 - FA Ender mBind
As usual the Microsoft data on their new "SP2" only elaborates on what it can do more now, and not on what it will fail at now.

As it looks now, SP2 will not run a utility called "TIEPATCH.EXE", something which we use in all patches, also not when you use the XPInstaller.

We will be replacing this utility ASAP but for the time being: if you want to play missions that use patches do not install XP SP2.

Note: Uninstalling SP2 doesn't work, it will just remain on your system and pretend its not there.

Take some some IWATS coruses, as there are nice ones out which will enhance your knowledge and expertise of the world of the Emperor's Hammer :)
