Booooo! Looks like Win 7 x64 is the end of this game for me. Dark Forces wouldn't work either, and Jedi Academy runs at a frame rate of 12fps... at best. Old games are the bane of my rig.  Cry

Now SW:TFU I and II on the other hand... they take advantage of my 2 x 460GTXs in SLI with a GTS250 as the PhysX processor. Sunk by a DOS game...

Is there a way in Windows 7 to force a certain compatibility mode, like XP or older?

There is, but it didn't work for some reason. I have the 7 Ultimate Edition too. It's gotta be the x86 emulator as it only seems to work with newer software.

Any idea where I could pick up the game for a decent price?

Definitely a 32/64-bit problem.  I have it running nicely under Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit--I didn't even have to use any compatibility settings.

Cool. Thanks for the confirmation, Vyk! Might have to go out and buy a P4 machine for $50... At least I'll be able to use my old 1280x1024 monitor again! Cheesy

One of the kills was an isd

Double post sorry, but i figured id share some photos i took lol


Okay for this one, i made each team three fighters, unlimited waves, all veteran ai, and i made each group different craft to vary the difficulty

If the ship normally came with warheads, i loaded it with those warheads.

Xwing(6 torps), Ywing(8 torps), Awing(8 missiles), Tie fighter, Tie interceptor, Tie Bomber (6 torps), Cloakshape, and headhunters , i flew the xwing







This mission is one of the preset skirmishes Rebels vs Imperials, and likely a preset mission i could see us playing a fair bit
The alliance have 2 moncals, one heavy one light, the imperials have an ISD and an interdictor cruiser
For fighters the alliance have xwings, awings, bwings and z-95 headhunters
The imperials have tie fighters, bombers, and advanced (eyballs, dupes and brights) and assault gunboats

For this particular mission, i flew an awing loaded with concussion missiles





In the after action report you frequently see a number and then another number in parenthesis #(#)

The first number is kills, the one in parenthesis is assists....

Yikes... maybe it's good that my 64bit OS is keeping me down here... of course, a good dose of humility never hurt anyone!

ill start cranking up the difficulty level shortly

i bought this flight stick last year and used it for maybe a month, never got used to it, its pretty stiff still and hasnt been broken in

that and other than a very brief period playing TIE fighter last year when i bought the flight stick on sale for 10$, i hadnt played xwing alliance in about 4-5 years

maybe i should just fly for the imperials in a regular tie fighter when we do our games and channel my inner Tycho Celchu, or Baron Soontir Fel......
