Known Issues

Graphical issues

Status: Active
Type: Serious
Description: The game still has a lot of graphical issues in hardware mode. The aircraft, the hangar and the in-mission ground surface suffer from the most noticeable glitches. Black lines on screen and textures are incorrect.
Workaround: Software Mode has no graphical glitches but runs slow on most CPUs and has slow view modes.

Slow View Modes

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: In Software Mode, both third person and cockpit views make the game go unplayably slow and lag the audio.
Workaround: Use Virtual Cockpit mode or play in Hardware Mode.
