CRIMSON SKIES ...

[CMINIVSDRACO]

Hi all!
I have "rediscovered" this old game today... Reinstalled and played for 1 hour ... just to test my new joystick (MS SideWinder FFB). Works fine, and still a good game (for unrealistic but fun dog fight action I mean, not pure simulation ...)

What do you think about this game ? honestly.

Do you know if a CS community exists somewhere on the web ? a dedicated site ?

Thx for replies

Post Scriptum : HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!  :D

M$ sent me a preview copy of CS to try. It didn't run too well on my old system. From what I saw of it I thought it was more like a fantasy version of CFS3. In fact I suspect that CFS3 was partly based on it.

Like Hagar I got a review copy. Thought it was a great game, but not really a flight sim.

It's still fun to fly around and blow stuff up...kinda like an "FS Shooter".

Played the demo, nothing more then an arcade game

Played the Demo, wasn't "as real as it gets" but it was fun.  Thought about buying it, but never did.

[Fozzer]

I've got the demo version of it.
Fun to fly, good story line, and super screen pictures... ...!
LOL...!

A good little game and well programed... ...!

In my humble opinion, the fact that the flight model in not realistic is not a problem... the dog fights are really fun to play
It's like playing with "easy flight models" in CFS2 or CFS1 ... or even "VERRRY easy flight models" ...

It's not a sim, but when 2 real sim-fighters fight, the best will prevail. I see it like a big, fun, very fluid dog-fight sim...
just my humble opinion

If anybody is interested I posted the preview that I wrote a couple of years back. It's an old game...but it is fun.

CMINIVSDRACO,
go to the zone. You can play multiplayer there and there are still quite a few clubs, or clans, whatever you want to call them. Just ask around in the lobby there and you should get plenty of info from the guys and gals. For the most part they are a pretty good group there, still have the occasional PITA but you are gonna find that anywhere.
I used to be a member of one the groups that still fights there, good times to be had.
Hope this helps,

Kevin
