i have played the first missions og xwing redux and it's such a pleasure to play again these extroardinary missions
thanks a lot to weimar (excuse if i don't write correctly your name) for the graphic patches to waylon and all the people that helped to create this redu, i've made another old xwing player very very happy

i had some difficulties like many people to make the game all functionnal again but with all your advices everything is ok now, except one thing, i can't see the cutscenes in redux, i have the music but no image, but it's not a problem to play the missions

thanks again for this, it's really great to play xwing again

Thanks!

That sort of worked... The X-Wing TC links worked great... however...

The Tie Fighter Total Conversion link on that site was dead too... :? :(

Any other ideas?

Odd. The link works. I'm able to download TFTC.

Nevermind, it works now. :)

Question: Is there an update for the concourse, similar to Imperial X-Wing Alliance for TFTC except instead it is "Rebel" X-Wing Alliance with the original X-Wing concourse?

For X-Wing conversion, there is no update for concourse.

Good news: I've found this little shareware tool to extract X-Wing's MIDI files, even the arrival tracks and the shields down track.
http://3d2f.com/programs/16-684-midi-ex ... load.shtml

edit: It has even extracted the SFX from the floppy disk version.
edit2: And now I've found out that the SFX from the floppy disk version are still included in the Collector's CD-ROM edition, they just aren't being used.

Please use the pilot which can play all missions in combat chamber to check if it happened on all missions. Try some simple training mission first. You will need to install DSUCP prior to XWC. Crashed during half way loading mission often means missing opt file(s).

So is the Xwing total conversion on a complete x-wing replacement or is it just partially? in other words, if I want to play the full xwing again (collector's CD (with the dos version) or Xwing from the collectors CD (xwing-95)) can I just use the total conversion or is it better to just play the dos/95 version? (the site doesn't make that clear).. Same ofcourse goes for the T-fighter version, is the TC everything or is it still better to play the original)

XWC contains all missions from collectors CD. Original Xwing can only support to 640x480. By using new models from XWAUP and widescreen patch, XWA can support to 1080p full HD.

I've just 'installed' XWC (extracted both parts, then using winrar extracted the exe, and copied the files over to my xwa folder, then I started it with a new pilot, and I do get a different front video, but when I go to mission briefing It starts with the "dev's sidetrack" mission and not with the same first mission of tour 1 of the original Collectors CD (win95 version).. Reading the XWC.readme doesn't make anything more clear..
Am I doing something wrong or am I expecting too much it being a real xwing95 replacement..

A new pilot will start from traing mission. Use pilot named XWC will start from tour I. It stats in readme file sec 3.1 misc. notes.
Or you can use pilot editor to change your pilot file.

ah, now I see, it starts with the historical missions... (just checked with xwing95 where 'Dev's sidewhatever' started).

I'm still waiting for initial translation from darkpadawan but I can't find him anymore. There is no progress for Redux currently, sorry about that.
For ths mission "Abandon ship"
After you killed three gunboat, ignore the first corvette. FRG need to be killed anyway. Fly close to nav buoy so that you can attack those two corvettes from their six. Use their blind spot so that you will save your warhead for gunboats.
You can order your wingmen join formation after they killed 4 TRNs, then ask them to resume mission after corvettes show up. (press left arrow then select commend). After your corvette hyper out, go back to finish off the first corvette.

By the way, if all your wingmen are gone and it will be very hard to deal with 3 ace pilots alone, try to wound one craft, let it hyper out slowly, so you have more time before next wave arrive.
We didn't miss a lot because XWC includes all Redux missions. Redux creates alliance base envoriment for each mission that I was too lazy to do so. I only add zone 2 for some missions which need a way out for success. Also, Redux team creates radio messages which original Xwing does not have. Seriously, if anyone can do translation please let me know.
I did have lots of fun as I was testing (playing) those converted missions. Hope you can enjoy it too.

Hey Waylon ;)

That particular mission was next to impossible. i had to edit a bit ;)
the corvettes were way to powerful. (and acurate i might add ;))
On to the next, btw u must be a hell of a pilot! Do u have a special setting on ur keyb or joystick that can help me? and also did u ever went to the msn gamingzone for a one on one or are you a single player gamer?
anyway those were the days ;)

Ttyl :D i hope

You will have to sneak behind corvettes then they are sitting duck. Target the last corvette and use your HUD to monitor its orientation, make sure you are on its six. After 2km apart, you can trun around, laser and shield fully charged, adjust your fly path on your way. You will find a spot that it can't shoot you. It's an old trick back in Xwing. This mission is not easy, I can not pass it everytime either, but that's the fun part right? I'm sure this is not the hardest one.
My joystick is Logitech Extreme 3D pro. I thought msn gamezone for XWA is gone. I have GameRanger which can work behind router. If you want to play online with me, my GameRanger account number is 797873. There are lots of great multiplayer missions conveted from XvT worth trying. Some of them definitely requires player rather than AI to success.
