Issues unresolved
Misaligned crosshair
On higher resolutions, the crosshair is misaligned with the correct position, preventing accurate aiming. This bug can also break the missile lock-on ability.
The only known solution is to set the in-game resolution to 640x480 and use a Glide wrapper (ex. nGlide) to scale up the resolution externally.
Issues fixed
Cannot change resolution in-game (with nGlide)
- It is recommended to set the internal resolution to 640x480 to avoid the misaligned crosshair bug

DirectX vs. Glide renderers
DirectX (Direct3D)
- Best looking (all graphical options are available)
- Not as stable as Glide
Glide (using nGlide)
- Very stable
- Benefits from all nGlide enhancements (scale resolution up to 4K, proper gamma support, etc.)
- "Uglier" than DirectX (does not support True Colour Textures and Bump Mapping)
