OpenTIE

OpenTIE is an open-source, cross-platform reimplementation of Star Wars: TIE Fighter for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It runs original game data natively and supports the 1995 Collector's CD-ROM and 1998 Windows releases, allowing their menus, cutscenes, flight simulation, 3D assets, and soundtrack to be selected independently. The recommended configuration combines the 1995 presentation and adaptive iMUSE music with the 1998 flight simulation and 3D assets; a complete installation of at least one supported edition is required, and OpenTIE does not include the original game content.

It provides classic and modern graphics modes, with the latter adding high-resolution rendering, advanced lighting, shadows, ambient occlusion, bloom, motion blur, HDR, and supported anti-aliasing and upscaling. Its flight simulation can update at up to 240 Hz, while original timing modes remain available, and it supports configurable modern gamepads and joysticks. The project remains under active development and distributes platform packages through GitHub Releases.
