Make sure there is no other craft still in chase of an UFO. It's a known bug.

Does this apply for the DOS-vesion as well?
Or only for the WIN-version?

This has got to be my least favorite bug. What I liked to do (after solving the problem of trying to save the Earth on a shoestring) was shoot down every alien craft. Downing a BB required the near-kamikazi effort of sending four interceptors with avalanche launchers to aggressivley attack it (it usually worked, with 25% to 75% casualties). Four successive interceptors was not enough, you had to keep them minimised; until, all four were standing off, and then charge in. As one interceptor was pounded/destroyed, eight avalanches seriously impeded the BB's efficient operation. Another six missiles usually brought it down. While doing this, I would often forget where the skyranger was.

Once you start arming your interceptors with plasma beams, you have to give up on the BB's, as the shorter range of plasma beams vs. avalanches makes it a futile effort.
