I have had it working yes but it would always crash eventually, between 5-10mins usually. Cant remember exactly how i got it working cos it was a little while ago, but it got into the 3d space combat bit but always bombed out frown

I have not seen a good space sim/shoot (X-wing type) for a long while and thought I might bring up the old WC series to see if it will work. Oh well...

Tachyon: The Fringe is a game you might like. It shares some aspects of X-wing games and WC games. My main complaint was the enemy AI (oh, and the occasional enemy flying through solid structures without damage) was a bit weak. Stepping up the difficulty didn't help much. But all in all, well worth the 15 bucks.

The option to kill the engines and coast (and therby turn around and shoot while flying backwards) was pretty cool. Being able to fly away from a capital ship while shooting at it was a welcome change of pace. Remember to coast to save afterburner energy. Oh, and the sense of scale (space structures are HUGE) was also cool.

The game is NOT better, though, than either X-wing or Wing Commander.
