Key points
- Use the Flyboy fix to run on modern versions of Windows.
- On computers running modern versions of Windows, the only usable renderer is 3dfx with a Glide wrapper such as nGlide or dgVoodoo.
- The game takes a small amount of space and runs on most computers.
- The game suffers from crashing if multiple controllers are connected, and at the end of any mission on computers running modern versions of Windows, regardless of failure or success in the mission.

Patches
Flyboy fix
The Flybox fix is a full install of the game and patched to 2.09, required to play on Windows Vista and higher due to the original CD installer crashing on map decompression resulting in an unplayable game.
Modifications
AZER2000 - Azerbahjian Campaign add-on
AZER2000 is a replacement campaign for the Fallen Crescent campaign which provides more challenging missions as all enemy equipment is now modern.
