Realism: adherence to reality.
In this case, the reality of the SW universe.

"Realism", in any case, is often used as a sort of "umbrella term" covering "advanced"/immersive features in a game.

For example, if fighters were to magically replenish their hit points, this would be unrealistic. When fighters are able to recharge their shields, this is realistic as fighters are able to do this in the Star Wars universe.

Ok. I just might look it up. Is there a demo somewhere?

Dunno, try to Google it. Don't know if you'll manage to install a demo, though, the retail install program for the full version doesn't work with modern computers.

Mmmm interesting. Mark Egger also did installers for X-Wing, TiE Fighter, Rogue Squadron 3D, X-Wing Collector Series and Star Wars: Episode I Pod Racer, at least I think that is what it is. Here is a link, remember you will still need the full games, these are just installers
