X-Wing Alliance: 1999 vs 2020 - XWAUP - Long Version

[@Falltangle]

This is insane! I had so many memories embedded in this game and it's amazing to see it being redone like this!

[@dsambernardo]

Everything in this game is and was just awesome. Thanks for the effort. Keep on the good work

[@Memnon45]

lol I like how everything in-game is in Italian. Makes Star Wars seem more... romantic haha.

[@Mabifield]

Amazing, but it seems low performance, that won't affect vr?

[@Bismikey]

It does, at least for me, I think hte game is using just one of your CPU cores

[@dtmmtdindustries5986]

This video was made with a single core: it was a limit of the WIP version. Now it is possible to use multi-core function and it works very well.

[@Bismikey]

@@dtmmtdindustries5986 oh how do you activate that?

[@dtmmtdindustries5986]

Use the actual installer of Blue Max special effects. Activate multicore function is an option in the installing sequency. With the next upcoming release it will be activated by default.

How to take a 20 plus year old game and make it better without messing it up! This is the way.

@DTM MTD Industries A question if may I the game and the patch can be install in Win 10 or in older OS, I asked because I have a physical copy and I'd like to play the game again with your upgrades.

[@dtmmtdindustries5986]

As I know, the old CD version of the game cannot be installed on modern 64bit OS. You need the Gog or Steam version to play the game on modern OS.

[@JavierBonilla78]

@@dtmmtdindustries5986 OK, So let me see if I understand, I already know that the physical release can't be install on Win10, I hoped that the updated could fix that, and neither I can't use the update patches on an OS like Xp or older Is that right? The only way to use both is with the digital release either GOG or Steam.

[@dtmmtdindustries5986]

@@JavierBonilla78 This patch must be installed in a game that is already installed, so you must first fix the installation problem on a modern OS. My personal suggestion is to buy the game on Steam or Gog, because everything is simpler and costs very little. There is also the possibility of reusing old CDs, but it is a bit complicated.

@@dtmmtdindustries5986 Thank you! I'll follow you advise.

I would’ve killed for a frame rate like that 20 years ago

[@omma911]

It's a shame they can't mod the HUD. It looked terrible back then, but is just hideous today.

[@outerexodus]

Is this a custom mission shown off here?

[@dtmmtdindustries5986]

Yes, it's a custom mission created with Allied mission editor

[@outerexodus]

@@dtmmtdindustries5986 any chance you saved or shared it ever? looks like a ton of fun! :D

[@tomsko863]

You're putting a lot of emphasis on the word "Simulator" for game that's not a simulation of anything. It's a simulation of a 5 year old waving his toys around making whooshing noises. It's as much of a space simulator as Skyrim is a simulator of living in the Middle Ages. Still like the game. The strategy guide was boss! Missile boats were the worst!

[@dtmmtdindustries5986]

It is certainly not a flight simulator. I know them well and we agree on this ;) . It certainly isn't an arcade game, like Battlefront's space battles are. So what is it? It is a game that simulates the technicalities of an imaginary, unreal reality. So I'd call it a Star Wars simulator. A question of semantics ...
