It seems Mr. Marcos has been busy. Looks like you'll have to spend most of your time looking after your wingmen in this one. And no regenerating torpedoes, so you'll have to make do with lasers.

The readme says to do what luke did in the movie when obi wan says "use the force"
In endor if you kill a tie by crashing into it BEFORE you fire you get the 100lives cheat.
This one I'm not sure, I tried turning off the radar, using secondary fire, I haven't tried crashing into the wall of course. . .
Any get past vader?

What irritates me is that I keep trying to go over the Star Destroyers and keep getting forced down into one of them.

What? The one that show up while you're over the Death Star surface? Why the hell would you want to go over it? It launches all its TIEs and leaves anyway; no reason to go out of your way to get shot by turbolasers.

I got blasted the first time. But I tried the old but effective trick of a constently (if rapidly) moving target in a constent motion. I.E. I circle around in a massive circle along the sides of the trench. If you make the loop fast enough and keep it constent, Vaders fire keeps falling behind you. Worked fine for me.

But yeah, I tried to just jink like normal the first time and got blown away in about 5 seconds.

Anyone else having trouble getting it to run?

Sarah didn't want to run it, so I deleted it.

Ha ha, yeah, thanks. Finally beat it. That trick's pretty awful, but at least is isn't like XWA, where the flight model was so slow and cumbersome compared to the targetting ability of the capships that they had to specially program the turrets not to shoot at you.
