There’s also a great mod for the original x wing game that adds beautiful new models and textures. Makes it feel very modern which is impressive given how old the game is. https://www.moddb.com/mods/xwvm/news/xwvm-alpha-20251116-dow...


I wouldn't call xwvm a mod. It's a reimplementation of the X-Wing alliance engine .

This is not XWA. The are hooking Into the original XW exe. They say it’s a “facilitator app”, but it requires all the original files and runs the original exe. It’s a mod.
