📕 Description [en]

📜️ "blabla" 📜️

OpenXWA is an open-source reimplementation of the 1999 game Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It runs the original game data natively on current systems while preserving the original experience and offering optional modern enhancements.

Important

OpenXWA does not include any content from the original game. A complete installation of X-Wing Alliance is required.

The game is available from GOG and Steam.


✅️ Graphics

OpenXWA offers classic and modern graphics modes. Classic mode preserves the original game's appearance, while modern mode adds high-resolution rendering and advanced lighting.

Modern graphics include:

• native widescreen rendering at the display resolution
• cascaded directional shadows, ambient occlusion, bloom, and motion blur
• anisotropic texture filtering
• 2x, 4x, or 8x MSAA
• AMD FidelityFX FSR 3.1.4 temporal anti-aliasing and upscaling
• HDR output

Original OPT models work in both modes. Modern mode can also load optional replacement models, textures, interface art, and videos without modifying the original game data.

✅️ Smoother flight and modern controls

Single-player flight can run at a higher simulation rate for smoother motion and more responsive input on modern displays. A classic timing mode remains available when the original timing is preferred.

OpenXWA adds mouse flight control in both Virtual Stick and Direct modes, with adjustable sensitivity and Y-axis inversion. Flight can be played with a mouse and keyboard, so a joystick or gamepad is no longer required. Modern gamepads and joysticks are also supported, with force-feedback effects translated to gamepad rumble.
