I used to keep an old Win98 box around to play the TIE fighter and Xwing games. Steam has them in a package now for pretty cheap that runs on modern windows. I played it through again for about the 20th time 4 months ago. Why developers can't do as well nowadays I have no idea.
Lucas Arts made some real gems back in the day. But now space sims are not popular, its FPS, open world sandbox, and battle royale games that are popular. And the ever present sports games. That is it, those are the money makers.
Also no one is going to buy a $50 joystick to play this in addition to the $50-60 game cost.

That's a shame. I just finished installing the X-Wing Alliance and TIE Fighter upgrades.
Time for another run through! Thanks for the great posting! No telling how long it would have taken me to finally read about it.
this is a fan made game, no doubt there will be much better technical support and a stronger community.
Played about 5 minutes so far. Good Lord the visuals are gorgeous!
