This is the full release of the TFTC project. Make sure you have a clean install of X-Wing Alliance and the XWAU mod installed first!
This version has been superseded by v1.2, go here to download.
Prerequisites
You will need a copy of X-Wing Alliance which you can purchase from:
GoG: Gog.com
Steam: Store.steampowered.com
You will also need the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade (XWAU) mod and any patches:
XWAU 2020 Main Download: Xwaupgrade.com
XWAU 2020 Patch Update 4: Xwaupgrade.com
XWAU Website: Xwaupgrade.com
TFTC Mirrors:
Download Mirror 1: Xwaupgrade.com
Download Mirror 2: Mtdindustries.com
Installation
We've provided you with a helpful installation video on YouTube.
Make sure you have at least 50GB of free space on your C Drive before installing or the installation may crash mid-way through installing. This is because it requires use of the Windows Temp folder when extracting, regardless of install path. This is exacerbated if you are installing the mod to your C Drive.
Otherwise the installation progression goes like this:
1: Install a clean copy of XWA from GoG or Steam (see above)
2: Install XWAU 2020 Mega Patch
3: Install XWAU Update 4 Patch
4: Install TFTC v1.0
5: Switch to TFTC Classic or Reimagined using the Palpatine Total Converter from the XWA launcher (via desktop shortcut or Alliance.exe in the root folder)
6: Play!
How do I switch between TFTC Classic, TFTC Reimagined and XWAU?
You need to use the XWA launcher and run the Palpatine Total Converter. From there you can switch versions seamlessly. Please visit this helpful YouTube tutorial on installing plus other tips.

![[OBSOLETE] - TIE Fighter Total Conversion (TFTC) v1.0 Full](https://media.moddb.com/images/downloads/1/217/216339/1.0.1.jpg)
Thanks for the awesome work.
Just a silly question. What's the difference between TFTC Classic and TFTC Reimagined?
Classic includes all the original campaigns from TIE Fighter (Base Game + Defenders of the Empire + Enemies of the Empire) with all original voiceovers. It is only altered for game balancing purposes.
Reimagined is a redesigned version of TIE Fighter which includes much bigger battles, expanded and more consistent narrative and a tougher overall experience. Its to look at how TIE Fighter could've been without the technical limitations it suffered during the mid-90s. It so far only includes the Base game + 1 battle from Defenders of the Empire.
Does this allow playing with keyboard or mouse/keyboard ? I remember these games requiring a joystick.Thank you.
Hi, you can use a Joystick, Controller or KB+Mouse. Be sure to watch the installation tutorial vid which covers this topic.
Thank you.I kinda wanna drink some tea now cause of the narrator's soothing voice.
That would be me :D
Download this and archive it safely, before corpo lords will take it down as many good star wars mods and fan projects before:/
Thanks for the Effort. You make me feel like a little child again, transformed to the time and age when i loved to play the original.
Woooooo!!! this was the first game I ever bought. I was 8. saved for months. now here I am... 35 and playing the same game still haha. Thank you for your hard work. it is loved.
Great work! Damn great work! I laughed, I cried, I'm so excited to play!
Some questions:
I'm getting extra noise when I blow up a ship, enemy ship specifically. Scratchy noises like as if "I" took damage?
Thank you, glad you're enjoying it!
Yes this is due to a wav file that plays too long and keeps overlapping, it will be replaced in our first patch :)
:)tnx!
I am very excited about this !! I remember playing this conversion a long time ago and loved it. However, when installing this new version it gives me an error in the installation. Attached screenshot of the error.
Could you help me fix it? I would love to play Tie fighter again with those graphics.

Hello, this looks like you haven't installed the XWAU Update 4 patch. Please be sure to follow the correct installation progression:
XWA -> XWAU Mega PAtch -> XWAU Update 4 -> TFTC
We have a youtube video posted here: Youtu.be
Indeed, that was the problem. Thank you very much for the video, everything is very clear.
And thanks for the mod !!!
Anyone knows how to run fullscreen 16:9 mode ?
when i get to the step to run the palpatine total converter, on the select components screen i do not have the option to select Load a total Conversion.
I did follow to the steps to install xwa - XWAU2020.exe - XWAU2020update_v4.0.exe and then the TFTC_1.0. exe
am i missing a step?
I am having a similar issue. The TFTC installation seems to crash before completion and so does not finish
This sounds like TFTC did not install properly. Did the TFTC installer close on its own halfway through? If so you may have had insufficient space on your C Drive. Try again to go through the install process.
Im using the Steam version of X-wing Alliance. Im following the guides and the youtube. When I install the XWUA patch and or the 0.4 patch, the game wont launch. Any ideas?
Solved: I bought the GOG ver. I now own a CD copy, a steam copy and a GOG copy. Don't regret a thing!
GOG seems to work best. Steam has some issues with file locations and I would suggest against that platform.
Don't use Steam to launch the game, run the game directly from the shortcut the mod creates or the Alliance.exe file in the root folder. But glad you got it working anyway :)

Is there a way to install both soundtracks so you can switch whenever you want?
Hi, you can use the Babu Frik configurator from the launcher to swap between the remastered or MIDI soundtracks seamlessly.
Thanks, but what I meant was ingame. I cannot decide on what I like best :)
Unfortunately its not possible to swap them in game as it has to replace the existing music files in order to play them which can only be done outside of the game.
i have a joy and a wheel. all games see only wheel. why? how can i solve this problem?
Hi, I recommend you join our Discord server and post in the joysticks-and-controllers channel, the community can help troubleshoot your issues there. The Joystick configurator though should allow you to define which device to use.
This is amazing.
Question - if you play the re-mastered campaign, does the game end at battle 8 or can you keep playing?
Hi, the Reimagined campaign will stop at Battle 8 but you can continue to play in the Skirmish room and visit the other rooms. To play the Classic campaign afterwards, you need to use the Palpatine converter to swap to Classic mode then launch a new pilot (if you want to go through the campaigns again. If however you are wanting to just continue from Battle 8 onwards, well you can swap back to your Reimagined pilot file through the launcher and it will put you roughly around the start of Battle 8 Classic and you can continue from there.
great stuff, thanks a lot!!
Got TFTC running in VR (Quest 1) last night. The number of times I said, "oh my god..." was pretty comical. What y'all have accomplished is simply mind-blowing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hello,
I have installed your mod yesterday but I have some problems:
1. Where do I find the VR-mode? I have seached it everywhere, but didnt find it.
2. I have big problems to configure my old Logitech Flightstick. I suggest you include something more easy or make a tutorial-video for it.
Hi, the best thing to do is join our Discord server. Since release the community have been helping work out the various kinks and issues with such a wide variety of joystick and controller options available. We have a vr-help channel and joystick resources as well. I will in the future add to this page a bunch of possible joystick/controller configurations.
Where is your Discord server?
The links are posted all over our moddb pages and youtube channels. But for your convenience: Discord.gg
X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance...now we just need this done with Dark Forces!
Did someone convert the original X-Wing?
A total conversion mod for possibly the GREATEST game of all time?
You are doing Gods work
guys... after i install the mod the launcher don't have the Palpatine option :(
This means then the mod has not installed correctly. Make sure you follow all instructions here: Youtube.com
This is such a fantastic piece of work, thank-you so much Angel.
I've got a quick question hopefully someone else is encountering this problem too, but for some reason the musical fanfares (ship arrivals) just completely stop working after I fail a mission.
After I restart the game the fanfares start playing again but only for the first mission attempt, then they break again.
It's a small thing I know but there's nothing quite like the audio queue of a capital ship entering the system.
Thanks again.
I've just installed the 1.1 update and switched over to the Soundblaster MIDI music files and am no longer seeing/hearing the problem with fanfares.
Loving it!
---Edit---
This is no longer true, I'm still experiencing these audio issues, have to restart the game after a mission failure to ensure the audio queues are all working again.
Take Battle 7 mission 1, if I fail it I no longer get the fanfare for the Rebel fleet arriving, nor Vader and Zaarin turning up.
Hi, unfortunately its not uncommon for the music to suddenly cut out or go into a loop. We have been unable presently to do very much with the iMuse code in order to change or fix music behaviour. The only current fix is restarting the game.
I am going to put together a gaming comp specifically to play this game, what are the min graphics requirements?? any suggestions?
I'm running into an issue with the TIE Bomber and Gunboat... if I die and respawn in the training missions, it tells me I can't fire lasers with S-Foils closed, but the S-foil key shows the game version in the TIE Bomber and gives me another error about landing gear in the Gunboat.
Thanks for the awesome T/C... this is far more enjoyable than Squadrons!
Hi, this was a known issue in v1.0. The 1.1 patch now explains what to do with this situation which now only affects the Gunboat since a TIE Bomber shouldn't have Sfoils to close! But in short, CTRL+L raises your landing gear and V opens your Sfoils.
Download is very slow from germany.
Is there an alternative download link for europe?
