I haven't seen a thread about this but just the other day happened to get some Wing Commander nostalgia and popped onto Wing Commander CIC and spotted this beauty! :O
A group of Wing Nuts are busy working on a mod (that requires the original Wing Commander IV files, so no chance of C&D from EA) that ports the games files into a new engine and adds in AI upscaled 1080p FMV sequences!
Nebula! New Ship models! New effects!
Cockpit model added back in!
The team are upscaling all of the ship rooms, inserting the new upscaled FMVs, porting all the in-game missions to the new engine and even adding content to the PC version from the PS1 version of the game (dialogue sequences and even some FMV transitions that weren't in the PC version). The mod is likely to only support GOG / Origin versions of the game due to the mod teams desire for people to show their support of the franchise by picking up the game files from those storefronts. They may add support for the original disc versions but its a price I'm prepared to pay for sure.
They are currently working on a demo this year that doesn't require WCIV files to run - exciting times ahead! (and I believe the team haven't ruled out possibly going back to WCIII as well :O)
