This Mod for LucasArts' X-Wing looks amazing.

It requires you own the actual game, but that can be had on GoG or Steam for a few bucks.

Yep, that looks awesome

Huh... that's exactly what I'm doing for I-War 2. At least this way I can watch them and see if some sort of legal action from whoever owns the rights to the game proves this sort of adventure to be a horrible idea.

That is impressive, I hope they do the same treatment for TieFighter, which was by FAR the superior game.

Since it requires ownership of the original game, I'm thinking they probably won't get a cease-and-desist? Not sure if they can be forced to stop or not.

So long as they are not distributing original copyrighted data, its pretty hard to sue.
Else Mods would never be able to exist.

This is on a grander scale than many mods, but none-the-less it's technically a mod. :V

Do you have a vid you can throw up on Youtube?

Also, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I-War isn't owned by a major IP like Disney/LucasArts looking to protect itself.

No videos yet; I'm still working on the absolute basics, like making something go forwards. When I get far enough I'll definitely produce a few videos.

Also, the I-War rights are owned by Atari.

That is something I need in my life. Good luck, Duke! A remastered EOC would be glorious!

Hey everyone. Just wanted to post an update on this mod. It's looking fantastic.

Damn son! It sure looks nice!

Hey all, one of the beta testers posted a video with a ton of cap ship battles.

A lot of work has been done on the cockpit since the last vid I saw, and it's looking pretty amazing. I'm really looking forward to this mod being done so I can play through this again.

I really wonder what this looks like with a VR headset on...

This is pretty darn awesome. I really want to see what else they can do with it like giant battles / more beautiful graphics / other ships.
