X3: Albion Prelude - Compatible?

Post by ElectroPulse »

Hello, all!

In the past, I've considered getting X3, but hadn't really gotten around to it...

I now see that it's on Steam for 50% off, and am curious as to whether anyone has tried getting X3: Albion Prelude (an expansion for X3: Terran Conflict, that adds TrackIR support) working on the Rift.

So... Anyone know? I did a search and couldn't find anything on it.

Thanks!

I can confirm that X3 Reunion works. but the hud is not visible - located on the borders of the screen.
Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude seems to use dx9, too. So it should work. Again: without a proper hud you will not enjoy it.
Better to jump in First Law to experience space flight feeling...

Alright, thanks for the heads up!

I think I'll just pass on it then... Or get it for using on a normal screen. Dunno yet. But I definitely won't get it for the Rift, then :)

Have you checked out this mod?

That's a custom UI script for X3 games.
