Just rediscovered X-Wing Alliance!
Just downloaded Mark Egger's XWA installer which allowed me to reinstall this old gem. For those who don't know (if anyone), XWA was the last installment of the wonderful X-Wing series. It introduced flyable light freighters such as the Millenium Falcon, the ability to hyper between different sectors in one mission, and a whole range of new craft, including lots of flyable fighters. It also had some nifty other features like the ability to throw together relatively complex missions on the fly with the "Skirmish" system.
And I had totally forgotten how totally, mindblowingly fun this game is ![]() ![]() So now I'm back in the saddle playing skirmishes, reliving old campaign missions, and building my own missions with AlliED and the multitude of other tools out there. Big. Fun! Anyone else played this game recently ![]()

Realism: adherence to reality.
In this case, the reality of the SW universe. "Realism", in any case, is often used as a sort of "umbrella term" covering "advanced"/immersive features in a game. For example, if fighters were to magically replenish their hit points, this would be unrealistic. When fighters are able to recharge their shields, this is realistic as fighters are able to do this in the Star Wars universe. Quote:

Dunno, try to Google it. Don't know if you'll manage to install a demo, though, the retail install program for the full version doesn't work with modern computers.
