I wonder how many hours this will stay available before Disney sends a takedown notice to the server host for moddb.com

This conversion has VR support as well, so you should get that same immersion, with the stronger gameplay provided by the Alliance game engine. I haven't played Squadrons myself.
I had read the frame rate is locked at a low rate in VR though. It's an issue with the X-Wing Alliance engine itself. I want to be wrong though, because I would love to play this in VR! My biggest gripes with Star Wars Squadrons are the poor campaigns, or lack thereof, and ships tuned for competitive multiplayer only.
Editing to add, I just saw your user name, and at first assumed you created it just to reply here.
It's great, I've been really enjoying it. Everything you love about Tie Fighter, but feels thoroughly modern, has that feel, "this is just like the movies!". I just hope my 20 year old joystick survives, prices for replacement are off-putting.
I would love to build a Tie Fighter Cockpit gaming rig some day
Wow this looks impressive, I hope it starts a trend of remastering older games into the modern era. Many games like this from the 80s to 2000s were masterpieces in their time. I've seen an official example with Blizzard and Diablo 2: https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo2/23658118/diablo-ii-r... Any other old games being remastered officially or unofficially?

I would think a cockpit VR experience would be much superior to a FP one.
Does whatever the current Mechwarrior game is support VR?

How is the flight model in comparison? Squadrons is a blast in VR but I wasn't the biggest fan of the feel of the flight model. Especially coming from combat in Elite:Dangerous with much nicer cockpits, etc.
I wanted to love it to death in VR because it looked so nice but the flight model was not my piece of cake.
The cockpit immersion was so good.

Many, including most of the LucasArts adventures like Full Throttle, Monkey Island 1-2, Day of the Tentacle. Also strategy classics like Command & Conquer and Red Alert. For some reason, they still manage to feel old.
