Star Wars X-Wing Alliance Mod Database

Ok so I'm obsessed with this old game. If there is anyone out there who wants to install the game on a new PC (post Windows XP) here are some useful hints, tips and links.
First off, you'll need to follow some pretty technical instructions and create a
Windows Vista / 7 installation disc
. The instructions on how to do this are here:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-x-wing-alliance-upgrade-project/tutorials/x-wing-alliance-installation-on-modern-operating-systems
Once you install the game you will need to install the
update patch 2.02 from LucasArts
, none of the mods will work without it...

My next recommendation is to
convert the game to widescreen resolution
. This is an excellent game hack, as it makes a huge difference running the game in the right resolution on a widescreen monitor. To do this you will need a program called Hex Editor
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hexbox/
, then follow these instructions:

Finally, either upload
Darksaber's Ultimate Craft Pack version 2
http://www.darksaber.pnma.co.uk/craftpackucp.html
, or download the awesome ships that are self installing from X-Wing Alliance Upgrade
http://www.xwaupgrade.com/
You can download the
game controls here

A word of warning to those who think playing this game is a "Cake Walk" , it's bloody hard to master, but very rewarding with perseverance.
