Space simulator disappointment

Space simulator disappointment

I was planning out this years projects, and narrowed it down to a hydroponics setup and a flight/space sim cockpit.  For the simulator, I was going to use X-Wing Alliance so the kids could fly x-wings.  A friend at work is on the lookout for car seats, I have the computers already allocated, and plan on using roger wilco for comms (I like the mic clicks).  Now, X-Wing Alliance is an old game so I decided that I should test it out on current hardware.

It's just not going to work.  X-Wing is just too old to correctly render the graphics with 3D acceleration with current hardware (video card).  I'm going to see if maybe the X series of games has what I need.
