OpenTie-VR (Quest, Steam Frame & PCVR)

** Neitey's OpenTIE-VR 0.3.0 (first public release)**

Star Wars: TIE Fighter in standalone VR, on Meta Quest 3 / 3S and Steam Frame, flown from 3D TIE cockpits. A first PC VR build (Windows, OpenXR) is included as a separate download.

No game files are included. You need your own TIE Fighter Special Edition (Steam or GOG) on a Windows PC.

Install
Download OpenTIE-VR-0.3.0.zip and unzip it on your PC.
Run OpenTIE-VR-Launcher.exe and choose how to reach the headset: USB cable, USB then Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi, or Steam Frame (into its Steam Library).
The launcher installs the app, copies your TIE Fighter files (about 1.1 GB) and checks them.

Steam Frame: turn on Developer Mode (Steam Settings → System), choose “Steam Frame (into its Steam Library)” and enter the Developer Mode password. OpenTIE-VR then sits in your Steam Library like any other game; “Lepton Development” is not needed.

PC VR: unzip OpenTIE-VR-PCVR-0.3.0-win64.zip, start OpenTIE.exe once to point it at TIE Fighter, then start OpenTIE VR.bat with SteamVR or Quest Link running. This is a first build that hasn’t been tested on a PC headset yet.

Highlights
3D cockpits: X-Wing Revival’s for every TIE craft (included), X-Wing Alliance’s if you own it, a simple pod of our own, or the original 2D cockpits. The instruments are live on the cockpit’s screens.
Controls: precise thumbstick steering, an optional flight stick to grab, Swap Thumbsticks, left-handed controls, and inverted pitch for both the stick and the thumbstick.
In the cockpit: a lap touch console, a radial menu, a side panel with a tactical map, controller labels, and voice commands such as “next target” or “full throttle”.
Menus: the menu screen sits inside 3D box-art scenes built from your own game’s ships (TIE Fighter, Defender, Balance of Power, X-Wing, XvT). X hides the screen and Y changes the scene. The opening crawl is in 3D, and the menu button skips straight to the TIE Fighter logo.
Music: the adaptive iMUSE soundtrack through FluidSynth with the included GeneralUser GS SoundFont. The OPL3 sound, SC-55 emulation (with your own ROMs) and the 1998 recorded music are also available.
Pico: supported but not tested yet.
