Working D3D9 renderer has been out for a little while now. Looks great. Check it out.

Re: BattleZone gets Directx 9 renderer "Work In Progress"
I tried out the new exe and the latest one is working great on my machine (Vista64). I'm getting around 150 to 250 FPS in SP missions, the models are attached to the terrain properly and textures are staying put

My only regret is that I didn't start this years ago.

The latest build looks pretty good. The resolution is fabulous but there's a practical limit to keep from squinting too much...

True. Unfortunately, I don't have a good way to scale the HUD.

Re: BattleZone gets Directx 9 renderer "Work In Progress"
Yea, the chat is the worse part. I can see my health and ammo well enough but the chat is tiny and disappears pretty quickly. If that were scaled, the rest could be left alone.
