Wow, what a difference the update makes! These missions are well designed and a lot of fun.

Perfect set of missions for a complete stranger of the series or for people who played the originals long time ago to get (re)introduced to the mechanics and controls of the game.
The first 4 missions are updated and beefed up versions of 4 Combat Chamber missions from the original TIE Fighter. In all of them you get 20 lives, as tho you're playing in a simulator

Spoilers ahead, stop reading if you want to experience it yourself!

In the 1st mission you learn how to move and shoot and dogfight. (and possibly about explosion damage)
In the 2nd mission you learn how to inspect, evade and intercept enemy warheads.
In the 3rd mission you learn how to use warheads, including dumbfiring
The 4th mission is basically a recreation of SW Squardons's Fleet Battle game mode.
The 5th mission is mostly for connecting your deployment from the academy, 95% scripted story mission, but a damn good looking one. Actually all the missions are damn good looking ones!

Great recreation of the originals.
Sounds are good, backdrops look amaze.
Last mission is interesting but enjoyable.
Its not TIE, its not XWA - its something else.

A well-selected group of training missions from the original TIE Fighter, elevated to glorious new heights. I only drop it a point for the final/prologue mission, which, while being a nice send-up of the intro movie for TIE, involves you flying a shuttle with no lasers and 2 missiles, giving you limited capability to do anything (and no real objectives other than fly casual and then survive)

It's training, how can it be faulted? Submitted bug report about the 5th mission, as there are only 4 missions labeled as Training. But I presume the 5th is supposed to be "Battle 0 Prologue", which is Microsoft Flight Simulator (flying from point a to point b, avoid a torpedo or 2).

Disclaimer: I haven't played Tie Fighter since the 90's, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. That being said, this reimagined pilot training was excellent in bringing me back up to speed regarding all manner of pilot controls. The voice acting, timing of events, and progression of learning new things was just perfect. Additionally, I love that the last mission, the prologue, provides a smooth transition from training to the campaign proper. Can't wait to sink my teeth into the rest of the reimagined campaign!

Great But needed a liitle info on the landing gear and sfoils for the gunboat

Every single battle of TFTC-R is an abolute masterpiece. As if the original TIE-Fighter was not one of the best games ever conceived, TFTC-R tops it - on every single mission. It is not only that the graphics, sound and joystick support cababilities were brought today's standards with underlying XWAU package. TFTC-Reimangined also set out to redisgn the original TF missions reimagining what they could have looked like if it wasn't for TF's 1994 engine limitations (e.g. only ~30 ships in space at any given time) yielding huge battles which truely make you feel as part of a mighty imperial war machine rather than a lonely TIE Fighter pilot taking on the galaxy. They even did full voice acting, remastering of the soundtrack and ironed out some story quirks - it is insane. They did what they set out to do - mission accomplished - and then some!

For a selection of training scenarios, the reimagined TIE Fighter campaign's Battle 0 is actually pretty fun. It does everything it needs to tell pilots how to handle all aspects of their craft in XWA. Pretty engaging, though I would recommend NOT hiding in the MC80's hangar in Mission 4, as you die when it dies and then it gives you a points penalty...

These are solid but unspectacular missions, completely appropriate to the purpose. They give a solid introduction to flying but allow you plenty of time to be wowed by the mod and the overall execution which is incredibly impressive compared to vanilla XWA.
