* As noted in the known issues, the player plane is completely black in missions. It is correctly textured in Software rendering, but I am to run the game at full speed using the Software renderer on my hardware configuration.
* When looking towards the sun or moon, a large, square, negative-color-looking texture appears over it. Toggling the Software Renderer (F9 key) on and off again seems to remove the bugged sun/moon texture for the current mission instance, but I did not discover this fix until after my playthrough was complete so I have not tested it extensively.

==Known Issues==
{{Issue
|IssueName=Black Plane
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=In Hardware mode the player's plane texture appears completely black. NPCs and cockpit view are unaffected.
|Workaround=Use [https://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/index.php?m=dl&rev=v1.5.0-dev-2329-g2ad5db227&platform=windows-x86 build 1.5.0-dev-2329] along with the [https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-No-interlacing-codes no-interlacing cheat codes] for the game (requires NTSC-U version). This works on both D3D11 HW and OpenGL HW renderers; if using OpenGL, Auto Flush must be enabled. On newer builds (including 1.6 and 1.7) this is only a partial fix on D3D11, as the planes will still appear darker than they should and have a black jagged outline (white outline if Texture Filtering is set to Nearest), while having no effect on OpenGL.

==Fixed Issues==
{{Issue
|IssueName=Broken terrain textures
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=In hardware mode mipmapping issues cause terrain textures to appear distorted and constantly changing form.
|Workaround=This can be resolved with the latest v1.5.0 git builds. Go to Config > Video(GS) > Plugin Settings, and set Mipmapping to "Basic". For older versions use Software mode.
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Flickering HUD
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=In Hardware mode, the HUD can be flickering, and completely disappears in some night missions
|Workaround=Go to Config -> Video (GS) -> Plugin Settings, and make sure ''CRC Hack Level'' isn't set to "Aggressive".

|Description=In Hardware mode a thick, dark gray mist covers the hangar area.  
|Workaround=Use OpenGL Hardware Renderer and enable Hardware Depth to remove the issue. Or use software renderer.
|Workaround=This has been resolved in recent v1.5.0 git builds. For PCSX2 v1.4.0 and earlier Hardware Depth also needs to be enabled. Or use software renderer.
