if it is part of the resource fork compression/decompression then either who would know about how to fix that or what would be involved in fixing it?
hellcats would be the most important victim of that but after dark is awesome also
this is the main reason i would go all through the trouble of the 8.6 firmware trick but on a fw400 mdd that might not even work
actually the main reason i got a g4 is i wanted to run hellcats at the highest possible resolutions
...
so i was pretty disappointed to find out about this bug :'(
hellcats was programmed so great to even have those resolutions available, if only more classic flight sims had that options, for most games it doesnt matter but flight sims definitely benefit.
did the same dev make another mac flight sim with an improved engine? i remember another flight sim that came out a few years later that looked very similar tho it had modern jets. maybe if theres no way to fix OS9 there could be a way to port the hellcats missions to that other engine
