X-Wing Alliance Cheats

Create a new pilot and enter FongFong as a name.
Start the game, then immediately exit. Enter the "lucasartsxwingalliance"
folder and delete the "fongfong0.plt" file. Start the
game again. All missions, intermission sequences, and medals will
be unlocked.

Press Esc before starting a mission and enter the "General Options." Then, enable the "Tour Invulnerable" or "Unlimited Ammo" options. This also causes a lot less points, no bonus points, and no medals. Tip: Pay attention to the mission briefings and the radio
messages while flying. They'll keep you informed of important
details. If you need help, go back to the briefing and check
out the mission hints. Tip: Get a good joystick with a built-in throttle. The throttle
makes a huge difference, especially when you need to constantly
adjust speed in a dogfight. Tip: During the Death Star missions, concentrate your lasers
forward and destroy the pipes in your way. You don't need to
blow up all of them, just the ones in your path. Tip: Don't forget that you can fly back to a capital ship and
reload during a mission. But remember not to dally because the
action is still going on outside. Tip: When flying a light freighter, order the AI to take over
your guns. Let them do all the work; all you need to worry about
is avoiding incoming fire. Tip: If you're stuck and getting frustrated, the best thing you
can do is turn off the computer and get some fresh air. It really
helps to have a clear head. Tip: Pay attention to what's happening around you; don't just
react to it.

If you need to cover some ground very fast, have a beam device installed to your vessel (this option is available when reflying the missions or in a later stage of the game).

By redirecting the energy of the beam device (either tractor, jamming or decoy beam) to your engine, you gain approx 1/3 is speed. Not too shabby, especially if you fly the A-Wing crafts.
