Alpha Squadron

As I said, you're welcome to communicate or say whether you're on a LoA but let your CMDR know either you're active or you're busy. Getting along is always good for us so don't be afraid to talk and share with the rest of the unit
SL Ilios produced such a fine piece of work on this standalone mod called "Embers of the Empire" for X-Wing Alliance. What we have here is a full campaign featuring technical improvements using XWAU plus some of his own work. I truly recommend it: interesting storyline, voice acting, awesome graphics... here https://mega.nz/file/pIQkhTCB#bCXsHynnzQ2jjU0ODrDm-penLpeNaPSgVSqKpRAcJdM also leave your comments here: https://1drv.ms/x/s!AlsTsaEmjwXbfVz4KB6jbwomGSE?e=0B8CC8.
LT Hopfot completed his profile on the Hammer site here: http://www.isdhammer.org/alpha_roster.html#pilotview2-3 which is truly awesome. I recommend , I invite you to do the same whenever you can (and if you can have a uniform like he does, the better!). Hopfot has also printed Alpha logo on his t-shirt hehe isn't it nice? :D
COL Pryde has been streaming his gameplay. I recommend you follow him on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/PrydeTalons/status/1415378597527920643

TIE Fighter Sequel/ImperialXWAU Project.

I leave this as a changelog. I'll try to update the mod with the latest reeleases ASAP.

ChangelogImperialXWA

   18-08-2021   Ilios work fulfilled my goal of showing what can be done with XWAU.  I still plan on building the campaign tho.
   09-08-2021 With TFTC being the basis of the mod, the task ahead is to port previous shipset and try to understand how Babu Friki and Palpatine Total Converter works.
   09-07-2021 TFTC folks are enabling coop for TIE campaign so I no longer need to do that.
   03-07 TFTC released. I'll be using this as the basis for our CP
   02-06-2021
    I believe we can wait on the release of the RebelCP and see if we can combine it with the Imperial Concourse files. I need to talk this with the XWAU team. The rest of the custom craft can be added on demand via hooks. No need to make things complicated.

   31-03-2021

    1) Installed GoG XWA
    2) From XWAU site (https://www.xwaupgrade.com/index.php) installed the following:

    2.1) 2020 Mega Patch https://www.xwaupgrade.com/download/installers/XWAU2020.exe

    2.2) Update 2.0 https://www.xwaupgrade.com/download/installers/XWAU2020update_v2.0.exe

    3) Applied XwaExePatcher 1.0.25
    3.1) Craft count per region from 96 to 192.
    3.2) Sound format from 22050 Hz to 96000 Hz
    3.3) Fix gun convergence to AI
    3.4) Remove warhead count of 9
    3.5) Replace laser count from 64 to 256

As for modding, if all works, on XvT we'd be playing the following flight plan:

  1. TIE Campaign part I - Battles 1-7 - coop enabled

  2. Default XvT/BoP missions - coop enabled

  3. BoP campaign - coop enabled

  4. TIE Campaign II: battles 8-13 - coop enabled

  5. TC PvE - coop enabled missions and battles.
    Note: this would do a fine addition to the EHSP. I mean, enable the use of some of the custom craft the EHSP brings in. Plus, the 60 FPS patch and maybe the laser and bloom effects for XvT, not sure. But, I want to include the TIE campaign into it.This guy, Waylon , created a set of conversions from XW, TIE and XvT into XWA. I could adapt those into this version of XWA meanwhile ...until the TFTC is done. The XvT to XWA is a keeper tho. We could use those campaigns there. I mean, should be interesting to test them on DSUCP.
    So there will be a lot of PvE for us to do on XvT/BoP.
    For XWA I plan for us the following:

  6. Converted TIE Campaign - Actually, I could just wait for TFTC, right? Then set them up as coop.

  7. Converted XvT/BoP missions - coop enabled

COMMANDER’S ANALYSIS
Placing horus as FL to give Cremel room to focus on SC and for Horus to contribute with his competition ideas. Happy to see Syntroth back and active. Finally, grateful to Pryde for his constant contribution to the unit. Dismissed!
