Unfortunately unlike some other Star Wars games there is not any tool available which would let fan community to expand the game by developing additional levels and modifications. But lots of work has been done already for understanding the game data structures and the ultimate goal is to make new Rogue Squadron addons a reality.

Latest News: Call for Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D Editor
5 comments by LukA_YJK on Aug 22nd, 2009 digg this super bookmark
The petition asking LucasArts and Factor 5 to make the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D level editor available to the fan community has been started in March. More than 100 people, mostly expressing their interest in being involved in developing new levels, signed it. 
There were a former Rogue Squadron development team member and an author of a sci-fi book, many enthusiastic gamers, experienced modders and computer science students. Unfortunately after sending emails to LucasArts and former Factor 5 management twice we did not get any response.
Meanwhile there were some news that a number of staff laid off by the now-dead Factor 5 have launched a legal attack on company founders, whom are alleged to have fraudulently transferred assets - including Rogue Squadron for Wii - to another company before declaring bankruptcy, in order to avoid paying its employees. Still determined to continue with the petition, it seems that we will not be able to get the level editor soon.
So here is a call for joining forces to develop Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D Editor, call for forming the Team to all interested modders, amateur level designers, computer science students and everybody who can contribute. At this stage it is important to complete decoding of game level files that can be extracted from the game data by using the RogueDat 1.0 utility. All findings revealed so far will be posted here. If you are interested in taking this challenge please post a comment. Let us do it ourselves!

i am going to have to stop making youtube videos for a wile because my pc broke down, it has been fixed but i lost my fraps, and other recording programs. the guy who fixed my pc put windows 7 on it and now rogue squadron wont work.
That is really unfortunate news. But you have managed to upload all videos to YouTube, haven't you?
no i had some more but the virus destroyed all my files... my game recorder also does not work with windows 7. im going to see if i can get it to work some how.
Good luck on your project. I hope you are able to expand this game!
edit- I will keep watching this, even if it takes another couple years.
I loved this game back in the day and recently got a copy of it from ebay. works great on vista, though sometimes it speeds up to twice the game speed. ( i solved this by opening more programs in the background e g q3 server console =) lol
I dont mind the old graphics too much,
THE ONLY ONE THING I HATE IS THE LACK OF VISION DISTANCE. is there any way to solve this in the files?
also the missions were the best out of the whole series.
Im not sure anymore but if i remember right, in the n64 version more ground units were spawned eg in the first level=?
Also there was more realism in RS 3d you could actually kill ground troopers by flying into them. Classic
Wow, AirborneSn1p3r, so I was not the only person who was digging out this game! Then are you interested in joining the (so far) one-person team?
yea sure lol but u will have to help me with all this moding stuff.
do you have a msn?
i also have a mate who is willing to help advertise. me and him can make bebos youtubes etc, and me a and him can make video guides to the game and stuff to help advertise the petition.
I just noticed the videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVJSLOSrcmg). Good work, airborneSn1p3r, nice tutorial! The only problem is that actually petition address is (http://www.petitiononline.com/swrs3d/) By the way RogueRat and other Rogue Squadron utilities are originally from
