Tie Fighter Total Conversion Mod for X-Wing Alliance

[[SC] El Giggi]

Hey,
does anybody know whats up with the Tie Fighter Total Conversion Mod project. Im a bit confused about it. When searching for it on google i get forum posts dating back to 2005 about its release. But there are also youtube videos from 2020 showing development progress. So has this mod been release or not?

It''s about to go into beta testing. There's a sub-forum for it on the xwaupgrade site if you're a registered member.

what are you using for control scheme? I'd like to use my xbox controller, but can't make heads or tails of how to modify the mappings (for example roll is mapped to up/down on right stick, for some reason)

The rolling is also up/down on right stick as well for me. But i got so used to it, it doesnt bother me anymore. I already played Xwing Alliance with it.
I have energy management on D-Pad, like in Star Wars: Squadrons.
A = fire weapon
B = Target Ship in Sight
X = Target nearest fighter
Y = Toggle Target camera
Bumper = Increase/Decrease Speed
Start/Select = Previous/Next Target
Left Stick button = Match target craft speed
Reight Stick button = free look

But Im still playing around with it too. Also using the keyboard.

It looks like you can't map keys to the left and right triggers only an axis ... kinda sucks was tryign to replicate the Squadrons control scheme

[[SC] El Giggi]

Yeah, i tried that too. but its unfortunatly not possible. I guess it would be possible with some extra software but for the moment Im getting used to it.
I miss the Star Wars Squadrons control scheme of using the right analog stick as a throttle.

Just installed this today following this guide:

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/07/getting-tie-fighter-total-conversion-working-is-worth-the-hassle-and-the-10/

It works great and feels GREAT. It's the late 90's all over again!

ALSO - I just figured out how to swap the Axes.

Open up Xwa Joystick Config.
Under the first tab 'Settings', on the bottom half you'll see pairs of values for Yaw, Pitch, Throttle and Roll.
My defaults were set at Axis Indices 0, 1, 2, 3 in that order. I swapped them to 2, 3, 0, 1 and it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beautiful.

Give it a whirl!
