attached are screen shots of the same location in full and 2/3 size and a picture of the difference between them.

final attempt offsetting the crosshair to suit full screen before looking for a more robust solution.

there is no rush

I will have a look for a better solution in the meantime.

But if the deviation is caused by numerical inaccuracies that sum up with the distance, that will be tough.

if you have the time could you test the binary I posted in #4662 and leave feedback on your experience with the 'accuracy' of long range projectiles in full screen (did they hit where you aimed and not did they kill what you aimed at please)?

it is the dev build so if you press 'n' in game the first time you start a level the aliens will not shoot at you unless you press 'n' again.

I think this should be called "cabbaged mode" from now on.
