Michigan terrain! That have Selfridge AFB/ANG base, K. I. Sawyer AFB and the Nike sites in the correct time period?

Another update for XWVM (XWVM Alpha 20251116). https://www.moddb.com/mods/xwvm/news/xwvm-alpha-20251116-download-links

Wrench, I can give your data files a look.

So I was just reminded that back in 2020 I updated the data files for just about every ground object in the Falklands 82 campaign and forgot to post or upload them. If anyone wants to test them feel free. If things are working I can upload them to the download section. Falklands_Ship_&_AAA_Update_Test.7z Falklands_Other_Ground_Objects.7z

Did you look at some of the older SF1 style launchers? Look at how the SAM system was set up on this ship. SLAVA_DATA.INI

I so wish we had the source code. The FreeSpace 2 Source Code Project has done so much with an old engine. They just managed to add multi-threading for processing weapons fire impacts effectively doubling frame rates in large combat scenarios. As for SF2 flight modeling, I recall that the F-4 demonstrates its real stall characteristics on hard flight model that most games of its era lack.

I wonder if another post will bump me up again. Edit: Not yet.

I have heard that in parts of the front line Ukraine has destroyed enough of the Russian air defenses that the Bayraktars are being used for strikes again.

XWVM Alpha update is out. Uninstall and then reinstall for best results. https://www.moddb.com/mods/xwvm/news/xwvm-alpha-20250614-download-links

Releases, on the right. Click latest.

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

So I found a video of gameplay. Shows some stuff I had not noticed yet.

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.

@Wrench Get your FreeSpace 2 set up as well. There is a Star Wars: Fate of the Galaxy mod in development that I think you will love.

Congratulations everyone. I will be at a mere 15 years this coming January.

Here are some screenshots from the screenshot thread.

INI files used for most of the data. Relatively easy modding from the start.
