Take the rating with a mountain of salt, but I'm rather pleased with this one - my first custom mission creation in about 18 years. Gave me a chance to go back and do things the way I think they kind of need to be for X-Wing to function for most - full briefing, with mission objectives listed and hints included.
It might be a bit challenging for some, but I've tried to keep it fair. The trickiest part is making a break for the Gunboats as soon as they arrive, so that they don't wreck your shuttle. And, while not very challenging, you need to know that you can destroy the shield generators on the Star Destroyer in X-Wing to bring down its shields.
It's a bit of an "X-Wing Greatest Hits" in mission form, but I'm still happy with it, looking back on it a year later.

Perhaps Locke’s best XW mission.
It’s extremely well-built for an XW mission and prob the most fun I’ve had with the platform in a while.

Title: Firebird Senior Pilot Test Missions: 1 Game Platform: X-Wing Author: FM/COL Locke Setzer/Firebird 1-2/Wing X/ISDII Challenge/Battlegroup III GS/SSx4/BSx4/PCx6/ISMx4/IAR/MoT-7rh-10gh-16bh/MoI/MoC-2boc/IS-9SW-7BW-PR-3GR-6SR-3BR/ORA-1C/LoC/LoS-TS/DFC/CoS/CoLx2/CoB/LoAx4/OV-22E ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: X-Wing 95/Disk Installation: Run full install of the game so the mission files will be on your hard drive. The game will take it's mission information by preference from the harddisk, but might still give a warning. In that case - Ignore. Locate your X-W Directory and open the folder labeled "Mission", or "Classic" in X-W95. Copy the *.xwi, *.brf files of this custom battle into it. Create a new pilot based on your pin and the battle's type and name. For example: 2883tc01.plt, if I would be flying the first XW-TC battle. Fly the first "Historical Combat" mission for the "X-Wing". NOTE: the original 1st X-Wing mission in your mission folder will be overwritten, so back them up. X-Wing CD Installation: Download and install XCDR (http://rebelsquadrons.org/xwing/files/xcdr/xcdr.zip) This will let you run custom missions. Put Waistem.BRF and Waistem.XWI in your new "C:\Mission" folder and use XCD to start X-Wing CD. Create a new pilot based on your pin and the battle's type and name. For example: 2883tc01.plt, if I would be flying the first XW-TC battle. Fly the first "Historical Combat" mission for the "X-Wing". NOTE: the original 1st X-Wing mission in your mission folder will be overwritten, so back them up. ALTERNATIVE: If using GoG or Steam version of X-Wing CD, consider modifying your game disk ISO file (This would mean updating the Mission folder on the ISO image in the same manner as the X-Wing 95/Disk instructions) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS LEVEL IS NOT MADE, DISTRIBUTED, OR SUPPORTED BY LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY.
