Two expansion packs extend the story beyond the events in A New Hope, up to the establishment of the Rebel base depicted at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back.Ī TIE fighter fires past the player's X-wing during the fourth operation of the first tour of duty. The initial game's storyline concludes with the player flying as Luke Skywalker in his attack against the Death Star. Progress through the game depends on fulfilling each operation's primary objectives if the player fails an operation, he or she can attempt it again. The novella, later made part of Prima Publishing's strategy guide, presents a pilot name Keyan Farlander as the player's character for most of the operations. Additionally, a limited edition of the game came packaged with a 96-page novella, The Farlander Papers by Rusel DeMaria, that provides story information. Briefings, cutscenes, and in-flight messages advance the plot. The story consists of three tours of duty of 12 to 14 operations each although the tours can be played out of order, operations within each tour are played linearly. The project may be tracked via, or through this thread on take the role of a Rebel pilot fighting the Galactic Empire before and during the climactic battle of the first Star Wars film (A New Hope). The project leaders have upgraded many other visual and audio features, while also taking time to upgrade the combat AI. The XWVM community mod of 1993's Star Wars: X-Wing is intended to replace the old executable file for DOS or Windows.
What really does it for me, though, is the lighting from the nearby star, which flutters as the spacecraft passes through a dust field and rotates around the cockpit during a barrel roll. The Y-Wing thrums with the sound of the sublight engines (this is the early mission to save Admiral Ackbar) and the repositioned displays are nearly perfect, still booping out the mission objectives and events. Rebalancing the shields and adjusting the system outputs all sound alive and connected to the cockpit environment. See and hear for yourself above - the soundtrack isn't much of an upgrade from the original game's MIDIs, but man does this capture the atmospheric sound very well. A group of modders is remastering Star Wars’ classic space combat sim X-Wing in the Unity Engine, and it looks and sounds great.
