Hello all. I recently put Dark Forces Plus+ on my PC. Scanned the files with 2 antivirus programs first. and found no suspicious files. So far the program is working great, but I'm struggling a little with accuracy in game as I'm getting used to playing it with mouse look. So my question is this: In Windows 10, how do I turn the aiming cross-hairs on? I looked around with Google and I saw that I need to go to the "Options" menu, but I can't figure out how to do this as I can't run the "setup" app(s) at this time.
EDIT: Just did some more research. It seems there might not be a way to have cross-hairs in Dark Forces 1 in the base game(or Dark Forces+, which is mostly the same, as in my case) without some changes I don't know how to make. If this is so, can someone suggest a fix?

EDIT for Clarity: I am used to playing FPS games with cross-hairs. I'm a pretty much casual gamer, so playing Dark Forces+ with mouse look but no cross-hairs is frustrating for me because I'm having a hard time seeing where the shots I fire are going to hit. With Vanilla Dark Forces, this wasn't a problem because the mouse was bound to the X-Axis and I could easily intuit where I was shooting. I don't want to go back to Vanilla DF because it had so many odd little problems and felt plain weird, but I think Dark Forces+ would be a lot more enjoyable if I could use mouse look and cross-hairs.

I'm not sure that Dark Forces has the option. It's a DOOM clone, after all, and DOOM didn't have crosshair support.

DarkXL supports crosshairs, though. You might give that a try if you don't mind that it's much less vanilla and has some bugs that you need to work around.
Hey. I've been working on a solution for this and it seems to work pretty well. If you're still playing through regular Dark Forces (i.e. the DOS, GOG version) or would like to try it, anyways, see the "Dark Forces Helper" thread that just created:
