X-Wing + TIE Fighter for Windows 95 "Special Editions"
The GoG editions of these games have modified executables:
1- CD-ROM to local disk modification. (Very nice job there)
2- Fixedclear Fix from XWA-hacker, for Radeon video Cards.
3- They will ignore the Hardware 3D option, and always render in software mode.
Probably because they found it to cause trouble on the average modern PC system.
Apply the patches below to toggle the limitation described in point 3.
Use at your own risk. Do not bother GoG Technical Support with any problems the games may have after patching!

X-Wing versus TIE Fighter for Windows 95
The GoG edition of this game has modified executables:
1- CD-ROM to local disk modification.
2- Renames Winmm.dll reference to Win32.dll (for .OGG CD audio emulation)
3- It will ignore the Hardware 3D option, and always render in software mode.
Probably because they found it to cause trouble on the average modern PC system.
Apply the patch below to toggle the limitation described in point 3.
And also to enable the Fixedclear Fix from XWA-hacker, for Radeon video Cards.
NOTE: Currently only "The Balance of Power" executable is supported by this patch.

Here is the original manual in native PDF format. It is found on the Collector Series CD, but is currently missing in the GoG release. It covers the 1998 Windows 95 releases of both X-Wing and TIE Fighter, as well as a limited version of X-Wing vs TIE Figher, called Flight School. Flight School allows only the training missions to be played.
