Welcome!
I will first note that I seem to recall the afterburners in the old Star Wars mod were set to not be like the Freespace afterburners, and that is why there is no shake or noise.
I was the lead on the Original Trilogy Mod before joining Fate of the Galaxy [FotG] (forum link: https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=143.0). Having been involved in both teams, I'll add that FotG is many orders of magnitude more extensive, stable, mission-completed, and feature rich then the old Star Wars Original Trilogy mod was. This Original Trilogy Mod was more of a cobbled together asset dump. Thus, this Original Trilogy mod is no longer in active-development and is being uploaded simply as an archive that works with more modern (2024) FSO builds.
Regarding Fate of the Galaxy development, we are progressively moving closer to meeting our final milestones for a public release. Once those goals are met and polished, we will be extremely excited to share the game with everyone!

Hi people, i dont know how to reply each one , first of all thanks both for your quick answers, i hope that Fate of galaxy will be a hughe hit,,and wish the best of you in this project,,,, beside that, while, there is something to do in the data folders for working on the clasiccal shake and sound.??...i swear spent days trying to do this with out succes, i downloaded the tools for editint /visualizing pof, dds and other archives....i give up---its a shame that amazing mod does not have this option. i play it with a custom reshade i made and its with Diaspora ,Solaris, Babylon and Blue planet are the best mods out there at least for me......another thing i discover a game called Tachyon the Fringe and this with Starlancer are the most similar xps with Fps2

To have the possibility of maybe editing the sound, you would need to edit the ships.tbl file (using a text editor like Notepad++ or VS Code).
The wiki for the ship table entries involving afterburners is here: https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Ships.tbl#.24Afterburner:. You will likely also have to add a sound to the sounds.tbl file here: https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Sounds.tbl
For general modding questions like this you can ask on the forum or, if you want faster help, you can ask on our Discord :)

Overall though, the old Star Wars OT mod is not supported anymore and I'm surprised it still works with modern FSO builds. Thank you for your enthusiasm for Fate of the Galaxy, we are very much looking forward to having folks play it once it is released!
