X-Wing Alliance Atmospheric Shipset Beta

I downloaded a (extremely) beta version of the Atmospheric Shipset being made for LucasArts' X-Wing Alliance. It looks promising, but it's definitely not ready for primetime. Installing the beta was a pain to because the utility they use to do it GPFs and the installation procedure is poorly documented (OK, it's not documented at all). Still, it did give a good idea of what could be. I suggest you wait for the next beta.

The skies did look surprisingly nice as did the mountains. The problem was that you currently can fly into and below the ground without crashing. There are also a multitude of texturing errors. I think it will be cool, but it's going to be a while.

In the meantime, I plan on finishing the last battle and a half in XWA. Gotta blow up the Death Star II!
