There also was a "realism patch" of sorts released that did things like greatly increase turbo laser's power (they now cripple fighters with one hit, but are far more inaccurate), increase speed of fighters to several hundred MGLT (average being 400, I think), increase the power of torpedoes, and a lot of other things major and minor. I never got to play it, but it sounded awesome. They balanced all the missions to suit the changes, too.

Ask at the XWA Upgrade forums and it might come up.

Ok, MSN Zone doesnt host games anymore, so we have to do it directly. I'll start another thread with instructions.

Ok, I'm gonna install XWA again and download that modpack (you're talking about the ultimate craft pack, right?) maybe we can all get a game going.

BTW, you can make any ship flyable (even the SSD) by replacing non flyable with flyable. The game does crash if you try and fly the death star or other stations, though.

Cool! I gadda try that "GunnerFlyable".
And yesh, I've checked out those new mods people have been doing and downloaded that one guy's pack that is like 138MB big with all new models. It's shurely made the game a lot more modern and awesome looking. I don't remember some of these levels being that hard tho

Someone reinstall XWA!

Anyone play this still or would like to do some multiplayer action?

I don't have it installed anymore, sorry. Otherwise, it'd probably be fun to play it again. I played it a lot before and it's an awesome game.

...and I forget, can one person be piloting and the other be manning the turrets on the same craft in MP?

Yes, but it requires you and everyone you're playing with to edit the shiplist.txt file (I forgot the directory it resides in, you'll have to find it yourself). Find the entry for the Falcon, YT-1300 and Otana and change it from Flyable to GunnerFlyable. Save the file. Done. You can also make any ship in the game flyable by changing their entries from NonFlyable to Flyable. I believe the entries are case-sensitive.

No need to make a backup either, there'll be one on your CD.

Oh, and you'll want to take a look at the XWA Upgrade Project: http://www.xwaupgrade.com. They've got a TIE Fighter-to-XWA port in there someplace, too, search the forums.

nope but ive playn rouge squadron, which I imagine is something similiar to it

Rogue Squadron is arcade, whereas XWA and the other games in the series (X-Wing, TIE Fighter and X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter) are really more of a simulator collection. They're far from as advanced as many other sims out there, but they're certainly a step from the RS series.
