X-Wing Cheats - PC

Cheat mode
Press [Esc] while in flight, then click on the three bars on the screen that appears to set unlimited ammunition, invincibility, and no collisions.

Unlimited weapons and shields
Type "win" during game play. Note: This code is for early versions of the game.

All missions and medals (Collectors Edition)
Note: This procedure involves changing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Locate the "ace.plt" and the other ".PLT" file not installed on the game but on the CD-ROM. Copy both files to the folder where the other pilots are saved. Rename the file to any name but keep the ".PLT" file extension. Load that pilot and you can play any mission in the historic missions area.

Less obstacles
Set the detail level to minimum to eliminate obstacles during certain missions, such as the B-Wing Historic Mission 6 (Death Star Trench).

Easy proving ground sequence
Select a ship and enter the proving ground. Press "\" to cut power and stop before entering the first gate. Turn around 180 degrees and fly past, not through, the final section of three gates and pass the next section of gates. Stop your ship, turn around 180 degrees, and fly through the gates to the final section. The level will be marked as complete with extra bonus points.

Destroying Imperial Star Destroyers
On a level where an Imperial Star Destroyer is in the enemy arsenal, shoot off its warhead launcher on the bow. This will open a hole which actually allows you to fly inside the ship and "enlighten" it from within. An added bonus is that other craft on destroyer's side will shoot it to hit you and on occasion fast movers such as TIE defenders or Avengers will ram the ship. A good tactic when dealing with two enemy capital ships (e.g. an Imperial Star Destroyer and a frigate or space station) is to shoot up the smaller vessel so it will fire at you. Then, go inside the Destroyer.

Warning: When destroyed and you are in it, get out of the way you came or it will turn and hit you. In other words, f you take it down it will take you with it. Make sure you have at least two lives before attempting to destroy an Imperial Star Destroyer.
