When I have downloaded Stand-Alone campaigns such as Wing Commander Saga and The Babylon Project, my Targeting Brackets are not fixed on the target. The float around and the brackets are only around the target, if my reticle is on the target. This makes is impossible to know where to shoot.
This is fixed if I lower my resolution to a pissy low 1024x768. And being used to games like BF3, or Blue Planets stunning adv visuals, a resolution of 1024x768 on my 1080p LCD, is NOT an enjoyable time.
It looks like this...

This might be a known problem. I have been searching, but maybe I have the wrong search parameters..

Saga prologue is a branch of an old version of FSO and will probably not see an update until the new once comes out (date TBA) which might be the cause of the issues here.

TBP, i am not so clear on, are you using the ZATHRAS updated content?

Installing ZATHRAS solved the problem.
To bad there is no fix for WCS.

You could try to find a slightly newer build somewhere (I think widescreen resolution support appeared in 3.6.10) and use those with WCS in the hopes that nothing else breaks.

The stuff they've posted on their public forum seems to imply that it won't be too much longer before you get to see a moderately AWESOME bit of AWESOME from them. Hold tight.

It's kind of their own fault. Forking the codebase was always going to lead to these sorts of issues.

WCS have a few features that are implemented differently to SCP and the odd one that SCP have not yet implemented, which I think is one of the key factors for WCS branching.  the end result is that the thing falls over when you use standard FSO builds

The WCS fork happened after the prologue release so I doubt that's the cause of any compatibility issues. More likely the issues are the exact same ones that plague TBP and BtRL, 3.6.9 let you get away with a lot of sloppy tabling that 3.6.10+ raps you on the knuckles for.
