As someone who grew up on a Mac and thus didn't have anything like XWA but did have the original TIE CD ROM edition, I jumped all over this. The first thing I had trouble with was dying. Well, respawning--first off, that's new to me but I got used to it. What threw me was for Assault Gunboats at least, you respawn and can't fire. Okay, open S-foils by [checks manual] pressing V. Then I got a message about landing gear needing to be up first...which isn't even mentioned in the manual I found. The only way I figured out how to deal with this was Googling--which lead me to an XWAU thread about editing S-foils which then revealed if I pressed CTRL-L I could pull up the gear, THEN open S-foils (presumably in-universe the GUN's wings which I see fold for storage). Perhaps find a way to work this into the training, unless I somehow missed it. |

Yes this is my fault for not adding in the dialogue (which I did record months ago!) and implementing it when you died, so this has been a common issue. Glad you found the shortcuts though and I will be adding the dialogue and inflight messages which will trigger upon death so players know what to do next time. |
