D2X-XL is an enhanced version of D2X, the classic 6dof shooter game Descent 2. D2X-XL is available for MS Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It is well documented and maintained.

OpenGL version of Descent 2 space shooter game.

Although D2X-XL contains a lot of enhancements and new features, it is still fully backwards compatible to every other Descent 2 version. As many fixes restore features of the original Descent 2 that were missing in D2X (like availability of all cockpit views, or working mouse steering), it is even closer to them than D2X itself.

Here are some key features of "D2X XL":
Colored lighting and lightmap support
Full CTF mode
Entropy multiplayer game mode
UDP/IP multiplayer code and tracker support
Automatic mission download
In-level teleports
Cameras and monitors
Speed boosts ("wind tunnels")
Screen resolution up to 1600x1200
All cockpit views available in all resolutions
Mission folder with sub directories to allow for improved mission file management
Support for playing D1 missions.

Requirements:
Descent 2 (original game disks)
3D graphics card.
