I can't help but notice that you've got unlimited shields going on there....
Seriously, fighting that many TIEs in an X-Wing should not be an issue even if you didn't have wingmen to thin out the herd, they all follow predictable attack patterns.
..plus throttle was set to 100% the whole time, trim it back to 75% in a dogfight, or assign the 4 basic speed settings to your POV hat and flick between them. 33% is the most maneuverable but you're a sitting duck, still useful though.
This was my favorite game in those days. I really don't have any idea why lucasarts stopped to develop space simulators like this... But I heard rumors that they will release a remake of x wing vs tie fighter maybe in the next year.
Already posted on their forums, but couldn't understand which method I should use. Just in case here are my exact specs: I have an ATI 2600HD Pro, 1.80GHz processor and my current display is 1152x864 (32bit), I have direct X 11 and I use windows vista. Since the exact reply to that thread your link sent me to talked about xp, I want to make sure it works for Vista too.
Putting the AI to Jedi level in a mission editor makes it a bitch to fight. Especially when you're outnumbered or up against lancer frigates\star destroyers.
back in the day.... (i am 29 now) i was a terror playing this against people online. i wouldnt "target" actual players. so they would never know i was firing at them. to this day i still claim my fav craft forever. "TIE Interceptor forever!!!!!" many defenders, bombers, b-wings, and many others besides fell victim to my Interceptor..... call me Barron Fel.
I haven't touched this game in ages, of course it felt impressive! LOL Heck just being able to let it run again was fulfilling in itself. :) I had other things to do in life the past 8 years than blast Imperial fighters :)
@dodopod - hahahahahah - not everyone takes their games so seriously - the uploader is just having some fun playing an old game.. does it make your cock feel big to criticise someone's skills in a 1999 star wars game?? lol.. go back to your WOW session buddy..

X-Wing Alliance. Was, is, and always will be the best space flight simulator of all time.
I simply love this game. Nostalgia.

I have this game and my grapics are similar to the original xwing and tie fighter games. Why are yours so much better?

Check your graphics options, or get a better videocard? :p

I found the option but it seems my ATI card isnt compatible.
Navy1994 2 years ago
Did you choose hardware rendering to start with in the graphics options menu?
darthbandon10 2 years ago
I chose the 3d hardware option
Navy1994 2 years ago
Hm... what's the exact card you have?
darthbandon10 2 years ago
ATI 2600HD

The changes are only made to the game files so it's an OS independent fix, to my knowledge.

You sounded like it was impressive to take out 1 TIE Bomber. And the text was a little distracting. What skill level were the AI pilots on?
