In the game gunship 2000 the graphics for the sky seem to sometimes become corrupted with ground graphics. The best way to show this is with snapshots (attached). The problem causes the erroneous graphics to flicker on and off quite rapidly. These snapshots are from DOSBox 0.63, and I've noticed the same problem under 0.62. The game plays without any problem under win XP's own NTVDM with VDMSound.

The other MPS sims of that time like F-15 Strike Eagle II, F-19 Stealth Fighter and F-117A Night Hawk also had the same problem last time when I ran them with 0.61. I can't verify whether it's got any better with more recent versions since I'm away from home but if GS2K still has that problem, chances are that those also exist in those aforementioned games.

Somebody should try to fix it...
