All,

I'm an old SW gamer from way back. Like many people I know I bought my first PC just to play the original X-Wing. TIE-Fighter is the holy grail for us Space-sim wannabee's and I can't believe what a terrific thing this conversion is. Whoever has worked on this - bless your hearts!!!!

I created this forum login just to say thank you, but now that I'll be playing the game I'll drop by and say hi from time to time.

This is too good to be true!!!

Good job guys.

I remember buying tie fighter on floppies and playing on my 486:-) When I put together my AMD K5 90 I got Tie95 and played it over and over. I bought Xwing Alliance when it came out but I only liked it because it had a better engine. I didn't care for the story line much so I've been playing around for years with allied converting my favorite tie fighter missions so I could play them in the new engine.

To all Tie Fighter fans out there this is really too good to be true. I don't think Laurence Holland could have done a better job. This mod really does duplicate the old tie fighter experience in every way right down to the cutscenes and the startup screen.

It also has fewer bugs than when Xwing alliance came out:-)

The only problem I had was with the first gunboat mission and the first tie advanced mission. I skipped these two missions but all the rest had no problems.

Can't wait until this is finished. My favorite mission is rescuing the tie defender scientist.

Looking forward to playing the rest

Thanks! Probably be later this summer.... still much to do and redo etc.
Tie Fighter was a great game in it's day. It's dead now, like much other classic games, but this a
little something fun to put a little life back into it and in a more realistic game engine.
XWA in my opinion is still the best space flight sim game engine out there... even with it's limitations.

I can hardly wait for the day when LA releases future SW games which could feature the actual high-quality filmed movie models and render those "texture" images onto 3d cgi game model-objects (like .opt files as we know them in xwa), and with an ultra-realistic game engine, and ulimited craft. The technology and PC power is not quite there yet, but everthing in the gaming industry gets better over time.

bman, don't say things like that! It makes me horny!
If I hear news of another entry into the Xwing Series, its champagne time!

I totally agree with the above comments, hats off guys great job.
Can't wait for more

Hi, I would also like to thank you for the resurrection of this great game. This TC is simply awesome. Maybe a few missions need a little balancing but overall you have done an excellent job!

I'd also like to log on and say thank you!

I first played X-wing when I was 14 in high school, which was pretty good - but the real icing on the cake came with the TIE Fighter CD ROM! I was hooked, and ever since my Pentium II computer died, I've been without this amazing game. Now, a decade later, you've brought it back for a new generation to appreciate!

I bought a copy of TIE CD just so I could play your mod again.

Thank you for your work, and I hope to see the additional missions sometime soon! You guys prove the Lucasarts space flightsim community is still alive and well and capable of wonderful things!

I recently downloaded your mod and i'd really like to say thank you.

To me it's more than a mod. It feels like a whole new game. I can remember playing the original TF on my 486 way back then. Later I bought the X-Wing Trilogy pack, actually im using the TIE95 CD included in this pack to play TFTC. Too bad I can't play it the good ol' TF anymore don't really know why. Fortunately the TFTC is here! Now I really enjoy playing this. Can't wait to play the rest of the missions.

I would also like to thank all of you who made this conversion possible. Playing this game is great, and I also feel as if I am playing it for the first time. I just installed the conversion over the weekend and I am having some issues, but I want to reinstall everything and look through the boards before I start asking questions. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
