| Field of view (FOV) | FOV can be controlled by FOV1 and FOV2 variables under the [CONFIG] section. FOV1 is used when your glider stands still ("zoomed in"), and FOV2 when your glider has achieved its maximum speed (not counting on-track boosts), which is usually a zoom out.Static FOV throughout the game can be achieved by assigning the same exact value to both variables. |

| Direct3D | 8.1 | Game was falsely advertised to require DirectX 9.0c at minimum while in reality it still runs on DX 8.1 Various DX 9 support libraries are supplied by both the retail and Steam installers but they do not seem to be used by the game in any way. It's possible that DirectX 9 was meant to act as some sort of a compatibility layer once GPU vendors stopped supporting DX 8.x completely. |

- ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%,%PROGRAMDATA%, or%WINDIR%might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStoreon Windows Vista and later (more details). - ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/46200/in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (46200) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
