I lovbe the new graphics and I am interested, if it is possible to also upgrade the graphics for the other X-Wing Games (X-Wing, Tie-Fighter, X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter)? I have the GOG Versions of all these games. It would be really great.

Try this:
TIE

It also works for the 1998 X-Wing but you need ddraw.dll. Well, it works for X-Wing and XvT\BoP, but I couldn't get ddraw.dll to work with TIE Fighter for whatever reason.

Have you tried dgVooDoo's DirectX DLL's?

Which ddraw.dll did you try? Mine works for all XWing/TIE games for me, and improves the graphics a good bit even without additional changes: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11519

@Reimar it might be an idea to remove your older files, and if the DLL is the same please name the file the same

at the moment you have
In the thread Direct3D 11 via DDraw.dll
ddraw_for_3D.zip dated Mon Jan 04, 2016 which is 39.1 KiB
in the same thread lower down you have
ddraw_for_3D.zip dated Tue Jan 05, 2016 which is 40.17 KiB

This might be confusing to some people, could you please remove the outdated version please

Then you have
ddraw_for_XvT_BoP_TIE95_XWing95.zip
in the thread ddraw.dll for XvT BoP
But looking at the ddraw.cfg from both zip files there are minimal differences but the ddraw.dll one for XvT_BoP_TIE95_XWing95 is 256kb the other from ddraw_for_3D is 89kb, but can these be interchangeable between XWA and the older games?

I think you need some sort of text file in with the other files stating what these files do and for what game, also including the info Jeremy added to his text file, if your ddraw.dll is based off of his work which it looks to be, please.
