XWAU 2025 1.1 has been Released

December 23, 2025

Merry Christmas from the XWA Upgrade Team!

 

Just in time for the Holidays we present to you the latest version of the XWA Upgrade Mod with some juicy new additions, updates, bugfixes and what not!

 

Golan III by Vince T

This is of course the big one. Marvel at yet another one of Vince�s creations, based on the original model from Dragon. The Golan III is a massive and truly impressive model. One of the last few original models it was in dire need of an update, and now it might just be one of the most impressive models we have.

New HD Cutscenes by MechDonald

MechDonald has completed updating all cut-scenes to stunning 2k videos. All videos are re-creations of the original videos, staying true to their original intent while massively improving on their visual quality.

List of notable Updates

  • A new way to display the background of missions has been developed by blue_max. All missions have been edited to make use of this feature with new environments created by Forceflow
  • Ships can now have variable sFoils to either clamp onto a target (currently used for the AMU to properly grab onto the asteroid base) and grab targets for pickup.
  • There are also a lot of functional upgrades in the hooks. For more details here be sure to check the Hook_Readme.txt in your Readme/Hooks directory in the XWAU 2025 1.1.0 installation.
  • Now you can get telemetry data from the game into SimHub.
  • Victory Star Destroyer I & II: Replaced the static merged turret meshes with individual rotary turrets that each track their target independently
  • Imperial Star Destroyer II low detailed model by Vince T for use in Battle 7
  • Many more tweaks and fixes


It's been a lot more work than we anticipated, but we are really glad to be able to get this to you in time for the holidays! We hope you all enjoy this update, so go grab the new update and have some fun!
