OpenXW VR (Star Wars: X-Wing)

Overview

OpenXW VR is a VR port of OpenXW, the open-source rebuild of LucasArts' Star Wars: X-Wing, by SgtBilko76 (Port Royale). Space is rendered in stereo around you and you sit in a 3D cockpit of your X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing or B-Wing (cockpits from X-Wing Revival, included), with the original instruments and HUD in front of you. The concourse, briefings and cutscenes play on a big virtual screen.

[!NOTE] No game files included. You need your own copy of STAR WARS X-Wing Special Edition (Steam).

Prerequisites

• Meta Quest 3 (tested). Quest 2, 3S and Pro should work but are untested.
• Your own Steam copy of X-Wing Special Edition, copied from a PC.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Install the APK via 1-click on QuestPorts or install OpenXW-VR-v0.1.3-beta.apk with SideQuest / adb install -r.
2. From the Steam folder STAR WARS X-Wing, copy collectors_cd to /sdcard/OpenXW/XW94 and remastered to /sdcard/OpenXW/XW98 on the headset.
3. Launch OpenXW VR from Unknown Sources and allow access to all files when asked.

Controls

• Left stick pitches and yaws (up = nose down). Right stick rolls and moves the throttle.
• Right trigger fires. Left trigger targets.
• Hold the left grip for the weapons and power radial menu, the right grip for targets and wingman orders.
• Left Menu button opens the OpenXW menu and pauses (hold 1 s to recenter).

[!TIP] The small screens built into the X-Wing Revival cockpits are dark; the original instruments stay in front of you instead.
