Totally Games / Star Wars theme - engine remakes:

https://github.com/elyosh/OpenTIE   TIE Fighter 1994/1995/1998

https://github.com/elyosh/OpenXvT  X-Wing versus TIE Fighter + Balance of Power 
https://github.com/elyosh/OpenXWA  X-Wing Alliance


https://john-overton.github.io/T.O.R.E-Fighters/  Jane's Fighters Anthology (US Navy Fighters ('97) / Advanced Tactical Fighters (Gold))

https://github.com/neuviemeporte/f15se2-ex   F-15 Strike Eagle II  (1989) - Early stages of development.

OpenTIE / OpenXW / OpenXvT I tested yesterday. These are quite sophisticated. Lots of options.

TORE Fighters I have a display driver problem with it, so I have not tried it yet.

F-15 SE II EX is only source code now, but I build an exe from it and it looks really interesting, these 1989 graphics in hi-res. 

There are multiple other projects like this now, since AI assistance is a thing in 2026.

As always: Original game data required.

As long as no one is violating copyright laws, I am impressed. I would love to see a redo of F-15 SEII.

Somewhere, I may still have archived all the mission sets I built for Fighters Anthology. That was a great game in it's day. One of the best mission builders I've ever used. You could "step" right into the scene to do things.
