If the number of times I failed this mission is to be any judge... this is the hardest mission in the entire game. man this took me ages to beat as a kid

I really wish they'd have just replicated the run from the films rather that throwing all that extra crap in there (like space troopers with the E-Web).

20 yeaR OLD GAME STILL BEATS THE 2016 AND 2019 EAshitterfront series

I beat this back in the day. Took me several hours long play sessions.

Good Job! look forward to seeing Tie fighter Next.

04:45 I did on the old model basic game. It was agony. With cockpit being offset you had to fly very weirdly and still hit things and in the narrow dark tunnels with the pipes, you can only fit down with one orientation as there are scaffolds that you hit if you enter the pipes wrong. Which, dueojg the escape having to do at speed is very stressful. Took me hours and many repeated attempts.

22years old, holy shit!

I managed to do the run with the old model. It was so f**king difficult. Took so many attempts 😭

I spent a lot of hours trying to do this mission back then. And when I finally made it to the reactor, my version of the game had a bug that made fhe tunnel disappear and dropping you into oblivion, so I never made it until months later where I got my hands on the patch to fix the game.

Got it in the first run back then. I got PTS from it, though.

Finally completed Hard Tour of Duty in XWA. Finished at rank General w/ scores 121164 while at Ace 1st Level & having Kalidor Crescent at Silver Talon.

None of the sense of speed from the movie

Thanks for this series, I’ve really enjoyed watching you play whilst I’m living in Japan as I don’t have access to my gaming pc to try out the latest mod updates. Is there any word when this new Death Star II mission update will be released?

Wow! Did you actually complete the tunnel run in one go? I spent like a week doing it when I was a kid and ended up having to give myself invulnerability in order to beat it the first time! Did you say the falcon used to be bigger in the unmodded game?

Awesome!!!

So what's next now that you're done with this game? I wonder if there's a remake to the first X Wing game with the XWA upgrade in the works?

Is it possible to reset the story without using the flight simulator or reinstalling the game?

I'd wait until 1.2 is released it has more fixes
