Massive graphical issues/artifacts with XWA and ATI Graphics

Hey,

I hope someone might be able to help and point me in the right direction so I can fix this issue and play this great game once again. The graphics is fine inside the main interface, but the second I get to the actual flying it goes haywire.

When I first enter the cockpit i see this:

However once I move the mouse or joystick it turns into this:

And here are a few more images of the "error" in effect:

Not sure what is wrong, and I even tried updating the new drivers but that did not help at all :/. Any and all help is welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Well neither of those things really provide a solution to my problem. Albeit I havent tried the editing exe file simply because I would rather stay out of things I don't really know a lot about :P

Well, someone already fixed the problem. What about that solution was made publically available so people could simply download the patched file.

FOR THE BLACK SQUARES: Press ESCAPE> Video option> single player> 3D hardware = NO

It worked for me, hope it does for you.
