X-wing vs. TIE Fighter (XvT) and X-wing Alliance (XWA)[edit]
The original X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter CD came with a keyboard controls reference sheet. Here is a XvT Keyboard Controls Cheat Sheet available for download.
The X-Wing Alliance controls are basically the same with a few additions.
Note: ALT + O
takes a screenshot and saves it as a *.bmp file in your game's installation directory, such as C:\Program Files\LucasArts\XwingTie. The file names appear as:
- frontscreen0.bmp
- frontscreen1.bmp
...and so on in sequence until you move or delete them.
TIE Fighter[edit]
TIE Fighter contains a lot of keyboard controls, but they aren't as daunting as they look. There are only a few which are used constantly throughout the game, and they become second-nature very quickly. It should be noted that a few controls are specific to the craft you are flying.
NOTE: Mouse control is not enabled in the X-Wing Trilogy version of the game.
Propulsion[edit]
NOTE: A joystick with a throttle lever can also change speed.
