Just got Jet! last week.  Pretty good game, but I am being bitten by a
couple bugs.  Does anyone know the fixes to these (I know they have
been posted before, but I failed to pick them up then):

1) When the "Medals Screen" is displayed, the game is thrown into
black and white mode.  How does one get out of this?  (I have tried a
lot of things already).

2) When hunting enemy ships with F-18's (actually, a fairly easy
task), I have found that the last ship on levels 8 and 9 is
"invisible"; i.e. it can be seen on radar, and most certainly fires
missiles at you (they come out of thin air!), but it does not show up
in the 3-d screens or on the map.  I have also not been successful in
blowing it up (ever try and shoot something which you can't see?).
Is there any way around this?

     Otherwise, this game seems pretty good, although a bit
unrealistic.  Last night I was flying around in circles near mach 1
only 10 above the ground, completely perpendicular (i.e. sideways) to
the ground.  Now, disregarding most laws of physics, common sense says
that one of my wings should be touching the ground and I should crash
at that speed, but it worked fine.  Now, if the Air Force could only
do that with real F-16's!
