Guys, there is a program called Game Ranger that hosts XWA now. It is pretty good and if anyone wants to fly a few rounds with me just hit me up on youtube and we'll work somthing out.
@jk28440 Yeah I know. I stopped playing on Voobly because no one ever plays for the fun of the game, they only play for the stupid BSC. Also XWA isnt installed on my new computer. Does it work on Vista?
@Oldskool97 Installing it on Vista is the hard part. After that it works fine. There's a site that updates the installer so it can be installed, that, or install on a 32 bit OS, copy the files over, and import->export the registry changes.
@jk28440 LOL thanks but ur a little late. I already installed it in vista. I'm gonna get back in the hang of my controls before I resume my kick ass training lol. I personally prefer Game Ranger when it comes to XWA Multiplayer because you dont need to foward ports and because you find oldies who want to play for the fun of the game, rather than for BSC stats.
Would be nice to see those games revisited. Getting tired of Jedis being the only option for Star Wars. Or being evil. They could even be remastered for the XBox 360.
The XBox already has a joystick and XBox Live for online play. unfortunately, if they did, I think they would dumb it down and make it like HAWX of Ace Combat 6. A simulator in the loosest sense of the word.
dude i'm from england - no walmarts here. anyway, it needs to be a non-USB joystick and you can't buy these here any more - they're considered an outdated format. i've found fucktons on ebay since though. thanks for being a cunt.
There's "tracking camera view"-shortcut, and several targeting-shortcut variant that give better dogfight experience.
With it we'll be able to experience alot of cinematic cross-fire! zig-zag everywhere, while staying in close and cooperative fighter group. Tracking camera also let us dodge blaster from capital ship and dodging tailing fighter.
That's where the fun was...(during combat, there isn't much power allocation for shield & weapon regeneration, this's when speed & coop matter!).
Ok. Forgive my ignorance, but I have never been able to make Alliance look anything like this..looks amazing, for it's age. Please contact me with mod information...
Hey Adalla TF from bsgpilots here. Great vid. I should install Alliance one of these days and we should catch a game. I used to play Alliance like there was no tomorrow.
On a different note, Does anyone know why, when I try to start up XWA, it plays the Sensaura noise and then freezes up (it won't even play the opening cutscene)?
Many people don't know that StarWars Galaxy had an expansion called Jump to Light Speed that is like a separate game within the main game that blows any thing out there away. You have the choice of Imp.Rebel or Free Trader ships. The start of SWG has you breaking out of a Empire Space Hanger ,Hans Solo and Chewie are there to help get you out and into a space port to start training in your 1st ship that have great Proto type equipment.Clue to mining ships ,are from a guy in Wookie Treehouse Bar
You know why no one knows about Jump to Lightspeed? Not everyone wants to pay a monthly fee for a flight sim. Luscas arts needs to make a new proper flight sim. They should have made the game five years ago.
not many, and i doubt many more will ever play these older games, we still have the old veterans who still play, like Adalla and others (including me), but someone (preferably totally Games) needs to make a modern Star Wars sim, seriously, who doesn't get excited at the though of massive hundred player online battles :D all in HD, of course ;)
Man....I would get my ass SHREDDED in that game if I got back into it. I would just hack that shit so I can fly a YT2000 Luxury yacht and crash it into capitol ships.
Lucasarts should get off their arses and make a new flight sim. Prefereably based on eps 4-6.
definitely eps 4-6.....there isn't even a strong space combat legacy from eps 1-3.....what's the "legendarily" craft in those movies....nothing as epic as the X-wing vs. imperial Tie fighters and the millennium falcon like on eps 4-6.
if they did a new sim and focused it on eps 1-3 space craft....i wouldn't even play it. i haven't played and sims since i was in jr. high/high school, and i won't until they make a new one.
I remember when this game had the most amazing graphics ever

It's mean to simulate a hopless attack by a small rebel squadron against a fleet of Star Destroyers...so of course lots of them die trying.

The best challenge is taking on a Star Destroyer yourself. It even gets old the satisfaction of a lone X-wing taking down a Star Destroyer.

Give me back my thoughts AND opinions, motherfucker!
Ships from 1-3 look like they got their styling cues from those retrosexual car designers at GM...but the stuff in 4-6 was so much more....believable.
Maybe austere is the word I'm looking for.
Oh well, Fuck Lucasarts for not making another 4-6 flight sim.
Maybe one day he[George] will see the error of his ways.
