Spaceflight, Gameflow, Movies, Atmospheric flight.

What does not

The options menu and some in-movie choices will lose control focus, and can also scroll your screen on high resolution non-4:3 monitors.  Cycling focus back to the game will fix this.

With the WC4 CD edition, and Win95 patch/ DOS/WIN edition, unlike WC3 from Kilrathi Saga, the FMVs are perfect. In flight, the music is jumpy, but everything else seems to work perfectly.

Five years on, I can confirm that the background music and slight A/V sync issues I experienced in FMVs have been fixed. WINE 1.5.18
