#TieFighter

The simplicity of this continues to enchant me ~30 years later. Numerous tweaks and remakes have been done, but, all feel like adding cheese and bacon to a fresh chocolate chip cookie - the crude simplicity of the game's presentation (and the cinematics here) felt more ... real? good? It feels like a complete experience like how a rough pez dispenser is more interesting than a vinyl figurine - it gets the point across without distraction.

Why did Fortnite let her have this power?

What if "Star Wars," but 80's anime with a kick-ass rockin' guitar shredding soundtrack?

Decades ago, I was telling someone jokes over AOL Instant Messenger and she kept sending "lol" and I was like, "She must like Star Wars, she keeps sending these little tie-fighters to me..."

I wasn't able to get a model built in time for May 4th, so here's a couple of recent ones.

Updated simpit.dev/ - home of the #Space #PewPew #SimPit inspired by a #VF1 Valkyrie cockpit (#Macross)

That's a glorified #DIY joystick controller with an LCD ('MFD') and plenty of #RGB for my #Linux PC

Newest additions are my #XR sheniagans (and some notes on #Breezy and the usage of #IMU data as #headtracker), the games #AceCombat and #XWVM (#XWing / #TIEFighter) and a bunch of videos were updated.

Best viewed WITH an ad-blocker and patience (slow af).

Livestream recording: Space – Pew Pew – Playing X-Wing with XWVM Alpha again in my Macross SimPit

Played #XWVM (closed) Alpha with my #Macross inspired #SimPit. I’m simply in awe that I can replay missions from #XWing (or #TIEFighter) with more modern graphics and modern interface devices again. I spent _so many_ hours playing these #StarWars games as a kid.

This is the heavily cut VOD of the live stream over at @bekopharm@live.famkos.net (pick your poison):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T2jxqT_5sU

This time I play with the native Linux version and my X52 Pro joystick (which means I actually have a chance of hitting stuff too). The following missions were played:

Historical Mission 2 / Wingmen Are Important
Historical Mission 3 / Sattelites Near Coruscant
Historical Mission 4 / Beating The Odds
OP 1: Destroy Imperial Convoy (Uncut)
OP 2: Reconnaissance Mission (Uncut)
OP 3: Fly Point During Evacuation (Uncut)
OP 4: Protect Medical Frigate (Uncut)

XWVM is not an official product from Lucasfilm Ltd. or Disney. It is not endorsed or authorized by either. It is a fan recreation of the game engine used to play X-Wing and TIE Fighter for the sake of accessibility and requires the original game assets to work.

Kudos to the XWVM team, they are doing a stellar job here.

How we enjoyed X-Wing today.

A home cockpit consisting of 3 monitors showing the game. The central space is used up by an elaborate button box with many lights and a central display. The targeting computer of the X-Wing is duplicated on a 4th monitor embedded in the centre of the button box.
