Gunslinger5577 Member Registered: 11/02/06 Posts: 404 Loc: New Hampshire, USA	Eugene, Couldn't agree more. "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailor's" is one of the greatest books on naval combat I've ever read. I wish they could make a series ala "Band of Brothers" or "The Pacific", only this time concerning the destroyer men of Taffy 3... "Ship of Ghosts" is also excellent, it follows the USS Houston and her encounter and demise and the story of her surviving crew and their internment. I'll keep an eye on ebay, but if someone has and can post some of the basic commands that would be most awesome. I think I have the general view commands (F1-F8), Save/Load game F9-F10 etc. But I'm looking for commands to speed up and slow down time.

sonarman Member Registered: 05/16/06 Posts: 176 Loc: Ayr, Scotland UK	There is an interesting thread over on the archived gamesquad Distant Guns forum (about half way down the page) about some of the shortcomings in the original title which might add as useful constructive criticism for the revamp. Bullethead who posts in some depth about TF 1942 in the thread is a member of the the Storm Eagle devteam. Edited by sonarman (04/28/11 09:38 AM)

Gunslinger5577 Member Registered: 11/02/06 Posts: 404 Loc: New Hampshire, USA	Sonarman... I love you! Thanks for the key binding list! I alos found a TF1942 update zip file, which claims to be an update to the original title (not sure if it is patch or user community update etc.) I found it on a patch library at filefront. I'll see if I can install it. Thanks again for the list and I'll check out the forum! _________________________ CPU: 3.8 ghz 3930K, 16gb DDR3-2133 Memory, 120GB SSD, 1TB SATA HD, Gigabyte Geforce 680 GTX, 27" ASUS 2ms LCD.

sonarman Member Registered: 05/16/06 Posts: 176 Loc: Ayr, Scotland UK	Thanks, that sounds like the official Microprose patch released shortly after the game's release, I still have a 3.5" floppy sent to me from Microprose UK with that update.

Gunslinger5577 Member Registered: 11/02/06 Posts: 404 Loc: New Hampshire, USA	Lol..I remember the days of getting 3.5" disks from Spectrum Holobyte to patch Falcon 3.0..it seemed like a monthly mailing back then! _________________________ CPU: 3.8 ghz 3930K, 16gb DDR3-2133 Memory, 120GB SSD, 1TB SATA HD, Gigabyte Geforce 680 GTX, 27" ASUS 2ms LCD.

elanaiba Prototype Custom Title Member Registered: 07/11/01 Posts: 1443 Loc: Bucharest, Romania	Originally Posted By: Gatorman82 Nice to hear people are still playing TF1942. I was co-designer and lead programmer on the project. I've been working at home on a new game that combines 1942: the Pacific Air War and Taskforce: 1942. I wrote both games and have wanted to re-do them both. The engine is mostly written at this point, but the problem is art. I have talked a couple of artists into helping me out, but they lack my enthusiasm to work in my spare time. So although I still work on it, the project will never really go anywhere until I get more art support. Sims aren't seen as big money makers, so I won't get any monetary support unless I've got something pretty much done.... Ed Fletcher Formerly of MicroProse Software Good god. This is amazing news Let me know where I can pre-order _________________________ http://www.inthekillhouse.com/
