Well, we've played all the X-Wing srries games and the ONLY one that still exixts in our harddrive is XWA. The older games just don't measure up anymore, and with AlliED you can certainly import all those missions into XWA and improve on them, and of course there is still our battleset anthologies which has 36 new missions; or 54 if you have NCA...so for the un-initiated there are still plenty of missions to play in XWA. (Just get the files from our homepage, not from thr archives here.)
As for the upcoming Ep1 flight sim I can't see how they are going to make a full sim with the limited number of ships from Ep1. I think it may be more of an arcade-style game (ugh!!!...it will be like; how many tiny droid-fighters can you pick off and how quickly!). In fact, all of their recent titles have been geared towards the mass/novice market! So I fear that that will be the case for LA games in the forseeable future. Sad but true.
