I was thinking of taking my old Joystick out of mothballs. Lag back in the dialup days kept me from playing so much. Anyone want to give this a go? :)

Heres a challenge, us vs. a Super Star Destroyer.

Me and a buddy on the zone did it all the time, all you do it wipe out the shield generators then switch to gunner mode (if you're a corellian craft) then shoot downward as you hover above it, evading its shots at the same time. :)

EDIT: DJ, why don't we start Rogue Squadron? :P

Once I get my new system up and running lets organise a squad and have some fun. I pity the fool on my squad. I like to fly slow underpowered ships. :P

I haven't had that problem either, DJ.

Lucy..... how the hell do you want to make a kamikaze out there? Kamikaze means heavenly wind, or something like that... (btw, know what you mean, just trying to annoy you before I get the chance to kill you :D) :P

I think I just got XWA working right in Windows XP. It used to freeze during the mission briefings.

You'll have to set the xwingalliance executable to run in windows98 compatibility mode. Right click on the exe and go to properties. Hit the "Compatibility" tab, and go from there. I'm getting my joystick buttons all set up nice.. soon i will be a force to be reconed with!

You know what is funny. I installed the game, boy oh boy, I must be spoiled. Its was good then. That game is bad looking now. Not complaning though games are getting better. Just look at this game.

Anyway the game also jumpy and I don't know why. Maybe my computer is to good for it now. Got to play around the setting before I give up on the game forever.

If you're going to do reinstall it I would recommend checking this site outhttp://www.xwaupgrade.com/ I think its pretty much dead but you should still be able to download the files. It makes the ships and a few other things look more like they did in the movies. It looks pretty cool on single player, don't know how well it works for multiplayer.

Definitely a great plan - have to dig my copy & joystick out of the mothballs too. I've not played this in such a long time - i used to play alliance and conflict freespace 2 religiously (although not online) - as soon as i get home from uni ;)
