Guest Vark111 Posted May 2, 2000 Share Posted May 2, 2000 I *am* new to this community. I've played every SW-related space sim at least several times. Going through XWA one more time right now, and decided to check out if there were any add-ons and/or new missions. I come from a flight sim community where where user created add-ons are a dime a dozen. From checking around at some of the postings here I've seen some intriguing things... Can anyone give me a short list of must-have tools/add-ons/missions/campaigns ? It would be most appreciated. I'm particularly interested in this NCA I keep hearing about and a rumored XWA Update project? Thanks for any help! ------------------ Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day...

Guest Kyp Durron Posted May 3, 2000 Share Posted May 3, 2000 I'm sure Ms. Talon would have directed you to her site http://members.home.net/gototalon/ for your needs but she doesn't seem to be around right now, so I'm posting it on her behalf .

Guest Crayon_Assassin007 Posted May 9, 2000 Share Posted May 9, 2000 Sweet TK421 but... I tried to download the Battlestar Galactica Fighter. I forgot the name but its NOT Cylon. Yeah, the one that looks like an Xwing but with no "X" wings. hehe -don't if that actually helps... It downloaded fine but my winzip doesn't KNOW its an actual zip file. It has the zip icon n' stuff, its just that I can't Extract or open it for some reason - gives error try it again thing. I did. Still same result. And I did visit the Creator of the BSG fighter but I couldn't find that ship on his page. (i found the BIG BSG Mothership though with ease) Are there any pages similiar to this one WITH the Battlestar Galactica Fighter? ------------------ ¨³¨²¨¹¨º hey, thats mine! <yoink!!> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that series when it first came out. ::GASP:: ::Vark suddenly realizes that he has dated himself and runs from the room with his hands covering his face:: ------------------ Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day...

Andy Kroell created the BSG, but I think the new Viper is one of Steele's. I just downloaded from Steele's site (almost right at the bottom of the OPTs page), and the file worked fine. You are downloading the XWA version right? Just try downloading again. Vark, hey that sure was one terrific show for it's time, actually I think its still quite good. * GASP * * realising he just dated himself as badly as Vark, TK runs from the room with his hands covering his face * * but smacks into the door frame and slumps to the floor unconcious * ------------------ "Peace through superior firepower" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a *Not Valid file Archive - Please download the file again* Error. I have winzip 7.0, although I Never had a problem with it. Is the XWA version zip file 232kb? ------------------ ¨³¨²¨¹¨º hey, thats mine! <yoink!!> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, my file shows as 317kb - maybe your donwload is cutting out before it's done? I could send the file by email, I know my copy works. ------------------ "Peace through superior firepower" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
