I still love XWing Alliance all these years later. Probably the best game of that era! I used to love playing people over a LAN network using Tie Defenders.
More activity/event interactions in a mission than an entire game made today. But nowadays I hear the words of George Jetson...... " I had to push 3 buttons today, that Spacely is a slave driver".
Years ago (well, of course!) I downloaded loads of individual mods for the game. And my PC couldn't take it. I hope by now they're all together in one pack. And that my computer can finally run it well! Big thanks to all the work done by everyone.
They were just wave files in X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter too. The whole game was just basic file types that could easily be editted or replaced. I replaced the opening cutscene's music with the Ghostbusters theme back then, so it was timed to say 'bustin makes me feel good' when the TIE Bomber blew up.
@@CujoHyer Ha, Yeah I remember getting a load of those wavs and having them for all of my Windows sound effects. Logging in was greeted with a "Do you have what it takes to be a starfighter pilot?" while shutting the machine down resulted in the deafening thud of jumping to lightspeed. Good times...
So I just upgraded to the XWUP 2020 mega pack, and I am only getting 5 fps in game. I am on a win 10, GTX 1080 i74790k, 32gb ram. Any idea on why my GPU isn't utilized? If I am correct, the game only uses 1 CPU core, but only like 10 percent of the GPU is being utilized. I am very confused. I am using the Steam version, and I have the disk version installed on another drive, I don't know if that can make an issue.
Those are arcade-style as opposed to simulation. XWA was the last SW original trilogy starfighter simulation game. Hence the insane length of development (and love for the game) for this mod.
Fucking Awesome! Is the X-wing cockpit included in the XWAUP set, or is it from some of the other links in the description? I love the work of XWAUP team, and have waited for this cockpit to be made.

Old games: Great single player campaign, with a story that was true to Star Wars lore. Today’s games are all about multiplayer, and what’s left of the single player campaign is only there for political virtue signalling.
I have never had as much fun gaming as In did with this set.

I just watched for 30 seconds then I started getting flashbacks to playing this game! I think I have PTSD..... Post Tiefighter Stress Disorder
STAR WARS SQUARDRON eat your heart out!
1999, one of the greatest years in gaming history.
100% agreed. No credit card perk boxes, just great gaming.
Dang, I was so focused on the FreeSpace 2 update that I didn't realize XWA is still alive and well! Awesomeness!
What free space 2 update??
I did always appreciate that the Empire reduced most pilots' power allocation problems to "More Boom" or "More Zoom".
I'm so proud to see something I began 20 years ago still going (The Saxman checking in).
best game series in game history.
These games were/are way better then Squadrons.
I can remember when this first started.. god that was ages ago.. good memories :)
It's done, and it has steam VR support.

The force is with this project.
OMG i am in '99 again and again i have 11yrslold :D. Good job guys!!!! reallyyyy good job!!!
I still love the Balance of Power story in XvT
Woho!!! 5 years ago I upgraded my xwa, and happily i found this video!
Thanks
Great video.

Been using this mod for years. It's only gotten better. Back in RS days.
Amazing! :D
This looks leagues better than the XWAUP version. Those cockpits are so accurate and gorgeous.
WHERE CAN I GET THEM?
This IS Xwing Alliance Upgrade, btw. Just using custom cockpits you can download right on the xwaup site.
@@conandude76 You don't get THESE ones in this video, however.

I didn't realize how much of the NPC voice clips from Xwing Alliance were taken from, or at least inspired by, Xwing vs TIE fighter

keep up the good work!!!
Does this game support Microsoft Force Feedback 2 joystick?
X-Wing Alliance supports force feedback joystick
Is there a list what is installed exactly in the video? Cockpits and effects like hyperspace is looking nice af, i need this!
What is THIS? I've been running the XWAU pack (and Darksabers) for years, this isn't it...but I am intrigued..
If only they'd remaster/remake these games with a newer engine...
Is this finished?
As in, is it possible to play the entire game?
a lot has changed in the game since this video was made. I recommend the xwing facility channel where the latest modifications are presented.
where can i get the amazing laser and lightspeed effects seen here and the xwing HUD. i love it
Where can i Find the Beaty targeting HUD on 4:00 and the Explosions? The Target Visor remember me to Tie Fighter
I will upload when i finish them. Specially for you - hud - link to the file we.tl/t-WXvS30uqRM valid for seven days
link for the HUD and explosions - link for download we.tl/t-7KFPSv3XeL valid till 22 june 2019.
@@SWArtisticTeam Can u repost the download link for Hud and explosions, thank you
Maybe you guys would enjoy the ROGUE SQUADRON games.
Tight controls and lighting effects.
unlike Battlefront 😁

How do I get those explosions?
Go to xwaypgrade.com there you will find a lot of cool stuff for X-Wing Alliance.
@@SWArtisticTeam I don't see the explosions in the download section :(
@@biffrapper www.xwaupgrade.com
Man some of these bloom effects look really overblown
I concur, tune it down!
Fucking Awesome!

@@SWArtisticTeamDes not work anymore sadly.
@@taip4n sadly true. But you can always ask on the www.xwaupgrade.com/ forum for this files.
If you can provide the laser and light speed effects il gladly give a donation ;) if any of my circuits or gears will help .
can someone will explain me why those games were great to play with low graphics, and now with better graphics it's less fun?..good old memories
Life :-) or more precisely modern marketing and doomed old games to oblivion.
@@SWArtisticTeam or maybe they focus on graphics and forgot the most important, immersion and scenario in the game

This is basically Squadrons but older
