Reading this old thread on Planet Descent, it looks like the Version 1.5 patch does not update the version internally (see Matthew's comments).

Anyone looking for the Version 1.5 bug list might want to see Suncho's list as he addressed whether or not the latest Version 1.5 beta addressed particular bugs. The thread on this board is here: https://www.descentbb.net/viewtopic.php?t=142 The list on Suncho's site is here: http://www.suncho.com ...

Call me stupid, but I could not figure out how to create a logon at sectorgame.com. I did see your thread regarding this level. I have a copy that I downloaded in 2004, but it is 416 kB, so I can't upload it here given the 250 kB limit. I would be glad to email it to you, if you want to PM an ...

I recall seeing posts in the past about what Omron buttons people were stashing for future replacements in Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro joysticks. Does anyone know suitable replacements offhand?

Thanks for posting.

It might be helpful to indicate exactly what configuration you are using, as in, D3 version number, region (U.S., Australian, etc.), mods, etc. Perhaps some configurations don't demonstrate these issues.

The problem now, though, is that I don't have a converter that works and I'll need a midi version of the registered soundtrack so that I can splice the drums. See the middle link in the URL I posted above. Just to throw another monkey wrench into the works, it's also possible that people's ...

Actually, Planet Descent is naviagable in the Wayback Machine, you just have to use the non-archived dfiles link to pull stuff down.
