Quick question: Descent 2 (and Descent 1 but since that isn't supported by GliDOS it doesn't matter) has an issue whereby as the frame increases, the mouse sensitivity decreases. The only way to fix it is to reduce the framerate to something below about 60fps. Does GliDOS offer this facility at all?

The overhead involved in piping graphics commands from DOS to Windows is plenty to bring the frame rate down, so the problem doesn't arise (on todays computers at least).
