You need to make your own pilot and setup your options. It should run at a nice res and whatnot for you. Let me know if there are problems.

I think I played this game briefly on my i486 DX 66, or my very first Pentium machine!!! ^_^
I remember my other friends raving about it, but I honestly don't remember much about it. Definitely will check it out

You can't get the hud with the new version, unless you set the res to the lowest.

Define "all resolutions" VOX...
The reason we don't have the cockpit HUD is cos we're using a high-res patch.

You don't have the DX1 mod.
Great game. I remember playing it in my childhood, thinking it was amazing, allthough rather confusing. The ability to turn around in every direction is quite uniqe, even today.
