Crimson Skies

Re: Same

I've still got my copy, and it works in XP, the only problem I had was getting their version of the Devastator
through the mountain tunnel.
 
Devastator? Most of the time I was using the Brigand because of it tail gun. Mountain tunnel? Are you on the light house mission or somthing in Sky Haven?
 
Thanks for posting the info about Dos Box. Looks like I can run "Top Gun: Fire at Will" again. I spent hours playing that and CS when I bought my first computer back in Windows 95 days. I can't tell you how many times it crashed that OS.
 
Loved the original, didn't even bother completing the first mission in the x-block version, hated what they did to the character design of Nathan Zachery in the 'sequel'..

It's the first mission. Zachery's crew is looking for treasure. there's 2 planes in the mission and they are biplanes.
 
You don't have to fly in that one. With some button it will cycle you to the next site to fly over. Any way the treasure is at site 3. Flying in or over the others give more money later on.

But you better get good quick as that tunnel is next to nothing compared to later on in the game.

EDIT: Make sure your "Stick" is quick. I used one I had just laying around it was unplayable I had to get my MS Sidewinder from the Win 7 PC.

Thanks for the tip, I think you're referring to the slew button.
 
"E" or button 3 on MS Sidewinder will move you to the next ojbective or bad guy. This is what I was talking about.
 
Crimson Skies and Windows 8 64bit

Greetings all,
I have had great fun with the old game, Crimson Skies installed on my Windows 8 machine. The OS is 64 bit so I updated my Logitech Joystick (Extreme 3d Pro) drivers at Logitech website - sweet with both FS2004 and Crimson Skies games. If you need a 32 bit or 64 bit Video patch, PM me and I can help you out. Also found a nice airplane editor to update the aircraft. Take care and have fun flying!!
