When I read this emailed article title in my head a few minutes ago, I thought of T.I.E. fighters a split-second before Thai fighters.

What if "Star Wars," but 80's anime with a kick-ass rockin' guitar shredding soundtrack?

Updated https://simpit.dev/ - home of the #Space #PewPew #SimPit inspired by a #VF1 Valkyrie cockpit (#Macross)
That's a glorified #DIY joystick controller with an LCD ('MFD') and plenty of #RGB for my #Linux PC
Newest additions are my #XR sheniagans (and some notes on #Breezy and the usage of #IMU data as #headtracker), the games #AceCombat and #XWVM (#XWing / #TIEFighter) and a bunch of videos were updated.
Best viewed WITH an ad-blocker and patience (slow af).
Livestream recording: Space – Pew Pew – Playing X-Wing with XWVM Alpha again in my Macross SimPit
Played #XWVM (closed) Alpha with my #Macross inspired #SimPit. I’m simply in awe that I can replay missions from #XWing (or #TIEFighter) with more modern graphics and modern interface devices again. I spent _so many_ hours playing these #StarWars games as a kid.
This is the heavily cut VOD of the live stream over at @bekopharm@live.famkos.net (pick your poison):

This time I play with the native Linux version and my X52 Pro joystick (which means I actually have a chance of hitting stuff too). The following missions were played:
Historical Mission 2 / Wingmen Are Important
Historical Mission 3 / Sattelites Near Coruscant
Historical Mission 4 / Beating The Odds
OP 1: Destroy Imperial Convoy (Uncut)
OP 2: Reconnaissance Mission (Uncut)
OP 3: Fly Point During Evacuation (Uncut)
OP 4: Protect Medical Frigate (Uncut)

Kudos to the XWVM team, they are doing a stellar job here.

Join me for flying sparks, bad soldering jobs and plenty of WTFs for more immersion in my home cockpit.

Star Wars: X-Wing Collectors Series with XWVM alpha
Played #XWVM (closed) Alpha with my ViperPit and with #XR glasses. I’m simply in awe that I can replay missions from #XWing (or #TIEFighter) with more modern graphics and modern interface devices again. I spent _so many_ hours playing this as a kid.

I go over the input settings and show it’s capabilities to connected various joystick devices, demo the Proofing Grounds and showcase mission 1+2. In the end I go over various settings for the XWVM engine and how the machine hardly sweats displaying the gorgeous cockpit.

The game was played with #Viture Pro XR running in Side-By-Side mode thanks to ReShade on a Linux PC.
