mono27 Posted June 3 Posted June 3 This is great! I was interested in this project since the beginning and now it is suddenly released. I will try it tonight when I am at home. Quote
KJakker Posted June 3 Author Posted June 3 (edited) Wow. You can give yourself your own astromech. Edit: Issues I encountered. Joystick and TrackIR 5 Y-Axis need to be inverted. The former in the in game menu and the latter in the TrackIR software. Cool to see A New Hope style shield flashes on fighter shields. Edited June 3 by KJakker Quote

mono27 Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Yesterday I installed it and set up some options and configuration. After that I flew some missions and I can say that this is awesome. I am enjoying it like I did back in its time. Quote
KJakker Posted June 7 Author Posted June 7 Here is a link to the XWVM discord server for anyone who wants it. https://discord.gg/juNj4BKMQq @Wrench You may find this interesting. There is a modern mission editor that works with all of the games. X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter, Balance of Power, and X-Wing: Alliance. https://github.com/MikeG621/YOGEME 1 Quote
+Wrench Posted June 9 Posted June 9 I've not downloaded or installed it yet, but I did get a fresh GOG copy of XW. I'm gonna wait a bit, as their site said "you may have to uninstall when updates arrive" or something to that effect.. BUT IT LOOKS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, there don't seem to be a link for the editor to download from ...hmmm... Quote
