StarFlight: A Star Wars Fangame - WIP 26
A downloadable fangame
StarFlight is a work in progress Star Wars fangame that puts you in the boots of a starfighter pilot.
The starships in StarFlight run on relatively complex flight mechanics, with modular damage, unique handling and weapons, and lore-friendly stats for each individual model. The game features both a third and first person control and currently can only be played in multiplayer deathmatch.
This is a long-term project that will recieve frequent updates. The eventual goal is to feature a single player campaign with friendly and enemy AI, as well as many more maps, gamemodes and fighters
Available Maps:
-Tatooine
Available Ships:
-TIE/LN Fighter
-TIE/IN Interceptor
-TIE Experimental M1 Bizarro
-TIE Experimental M5 Booster
-T-65 X-Wing
-R60 T-Wing
-Z95-AF4 Headhunter
-E-7 E-Wing
-BTL-B Y-Wing

So this is pretty neat. I hope you the best of luck with this project. Messing around with it for a bit there were two things that stood out.
1: The GUI breaks at 2560x1440. The radar background is offset towards the center of the screen, though the other icons are about where they should be.
2: Linked blasters shouldn't shoot as fast as they do. In X-Wing and Tie Fighter linking fire didn't actually increase the rate of fire of any individual cannons, they just fired at the same time. If there's some lore justifying this I guess that's fine, though I always assumed that each cannon had a fixed individual refire rate, hence why fighters would mount multiple synchronized guns rather than a single high RoF cannon.
3: There's no way to remove keybinds. This isn't too bad, I worked around it, but it is annoying since I wanted mouse to control pitch and yaw while A and D were roll. I got this working eventually but it was finicky, and I ended up binding the roll axis to backspace in place of a proper 'null' option.
Finally I can't figure out how to host a session. Might just be disabled functionality (WIP_26) but I assume I'm supposed to be able to set a server name and password. Would've liked to give this a run with some friends.
the game wont open on windows 11
Don't have windows 11, so I don't know
WHY WONT IT INSTALL
What do you mean?
Did some testing on the project, LOVED it keep it up with the updates!
Glad you liked it!
Its really good! I see the potential here, and I know its in early development stage, but it was pretty funny crashing a Tie fighter and still able to fly without wings :)
That one got fixed for the next update haha
I had a lot of fun trying this out, it look gorgeous. I had some issues whenever I crashed my fighter. I know this is far from finished, but I'd love to see some more factions and their fighters as well. Also, maybe targets, for when you're flying around solo and just wanna test out a ship? Also, maybe a mode that tracks you racing/maneuvering for your own personal records?
More fighters are definitely planned, as well as some missions to be able to play solo, but developing this game is a slow process, so be patient!
Completely understandable. I was just giving my first impressions.
Can we get bots? Can't seem to start a game with anyone
We're doing our best! Bots are a difficult endeavor, but it's in the plans!
by the way, what's the difference between the 2 files?
One of them is an older version!
Wich one I use then?
:O I will give a try!
nice
