What is wrong with my glow?
It has been reported that on some GPUs (as in my case on Radeon 9700 Pro), glow maps do not function properly at a certain distance. They may fade in and out or exhibit intermittent flickering effects. Not very nice to look at, if you know what I mean :(

Tolwyn’s reputation for risk taking with other people’s lives was considered  to understate the facts. The admiral’s willingness to sacrifice anyone or anything to achieve his objectives had long been lauded in the popular press. He was “the man who got things done”.- Colonel Blair

No errors, no random CTDs, just pure fun and proof of why getting hit with missiles is a bad thing.

eh, that's aliasing (or a combination of aliasing and texture sampleing), it's due to the fact that the image is getting rendered to a bitmap.

there's realy no way to fix it, other than FSAA and maybe mipmapping (both of wich are available in FSO), and even that has it's limits. this isn't a GPU problem it's sort of a limitation to useing a pixel based monitor.
