I missed this older/recent video of XWVM, a Unity fan project that aims to recreate the original Star Wars: X-Wing game and hopefully dodge lawsuits by requiring the importing of the actual original game's data, to the point modded scripts and such in your installation will be transferred and functional too.
Of course the original didn't have playable TIE fighters but I believe they've said that stuff will be available in an expanded training simulator mode or custom missions. They've not really discussed the potential for making it compatible with the TIE Fighter sequel but I guess it seems plausible, if they ever finish this.
For comparison. I have it on gog and prefer the older CD release on DOS, it has dynamically changing midi music and other stuff that make it better than the SE on Windows. The even older first release on DOS doesn't have textures and looks cool in its simplicity, maybe even the nicest if it was a bit higher resolution...
