The whole game doesnt look as good as the demo.

:confused: If anything it looks better, they've released patches that sort out the lag problem. And some of the maps are way nicer on the eye than the demo map, the drug mission for example, level 2 i think.
 
Few more X3 screenies, since it's now available over steam, hope more people try this out, now that you don't have to bother with starforce anymore :p

My Argon Nova along with a couple of Busters, some of which have been "borrowed" from some pirates I met.

Split Mamba with 2 Argon Novas, a "borrowed" pirate Nova at the front, love the paint job.

My brand new Split Elephant, the flag ship of my small, yet expanding fleet, love it but it's a bugger to drive, got the turning radius of an oil tanker.

Demo levels looks the best if you ask me, my fps tells me that also, tend to get lowest fps on first level (demo one), rest seem very fast, an example - the indoor alcohol rehabilitation level looks preety rubbish as does the crows one, none of them match the demo level.
 
The plot can be a little confusing if you havn't played the first 2 games, but not many people play it for the plot :p

It's worth the time to read the guides on the egosoft forums, X3 can be a bit daunting to start.
 
Is there anyway to control it with the mouse, like on the older FS versions you could use "Mouse as yoke", anything like that on x3?

Been wanting to get this but starforce sucks tbh :) Might get it now.

I like space games but Ive never really liked the space fighter games where your view is from the cockpit... but I might give it a try!
 
Yep, it's easy to control with the mouse, I prefer it over a joystick.

Cockpits changed from ship to ship, some sit at the rear while other sit at the front and are unobstructive.

There are also mods to give full internal cockpit views, like you got in X & X2

I really need to get the hang of the Russian crates, as so far I've only played half the game :p

They were the first ones I flew. Picked the game up again today (I have Flaming Cliffs due) and found I was no longer capable of flying one. Cue a lot of rude words.

I started in the A-10, and have pretty much stuck to that in all honesty. However, you have whet my appetite and I will sit down tomorrow and learn to be a fighter jock ;)

Just run through the first training for the SU-27 and was very impressed by the ILS landing in near 0 visibility. Did a quick mission after that - I blame the following on playing too much PF/CFS and my "see the whites of their eyes" mentality :p
