Crimson Skies Race

my favorite flying game! some ppl say it doesnt have realistic flying physics but thats just because its trying to make you feel more like an ace and it helps you with some things.

mostly the people who play online say that, only because it had a little bug that let you turn fast when stalling, which ruined any online play for me. The single player (if not using that stupid trick) was realistic and so much fun.

ill try reinstalling and patching one of these days. The do planes seem to drift more side to side at low speed, becomes a bit unstable. I guess we play the same style in terms of obstacles, but i abuse the missles more. A good idea on this level is to take armor piercing missles, fire them @ the first three planes as they go through the hanger -- all those will turn on you later and will go down in seconds without armour. Those missles normally dont cause a crash either :)

This mission :D crashed like 40 times but got to a point where i can do every obstacle (except the hollywood 'O') @ full speed. That damn NY set actually has 2 streets you can fly through, i thought i won on my 39th time but had to do it again because i took the wrong 'street'. Great game, too bad it was full of technical bugs, i remember when i got to the rocky mountains section: missions started to cause the game to crash while loading. never finished it because of that.

hmm yeah it had a few bugs, most of which were fixed in a patch. so I'm not sure if it might help or not. yes my first time I crashed a good 20 some times, and still the occasional time here and there. once you get used to it it's great. just remember to line yourself up and always go full speed, if you go slow you have more time to mess up.

hehe.. how often did you try this mission? you fly it pretty relaxed and wide-angled

hmm about 12-15 times through the game, a few crashes. so i'd say about 25-30 times :) it's not that you remember the motions, you remember how you should re-act and know what speeds to use

If I remember correctly I've played this game 8 times through lol^^ .. everytime when I finshed it I was so sad, because the "beautiful" story is over.. and then I started again.. ^^

wouldn't say beautiful lol but it has a really good story, and well made too. the kind where even if you know what's going to happen to want to see it again.

yeah.. not a lot of games have this attribute. i watched all the movies, when you change the scenario map, about 3 times one after another lol..
