Just got Crimson Skies and it's a gas! Very arcade and not really a flight sim but the action is good, graphics are good, and game play is very good.

It has problems, sound problems and it hangs after about an hour with a full reboot and scan needed.

A very classy game with a patch needed soon.

I downloaded the demo today to check it out, even tho i wasnt very interested in the game. But now that I played it, the game is great. It may not have the realism of FS but Im the kind of person that isnt totally focused on one particular type of gameplay so Im open to variety of games. The graphics are great, runs great, and the fun factor is there too. Unfortunetly there are other games i want to get first (gonna pick up midtown madness 2 this weekend)

Aladar thanks for the info. I have most things turned off or down and it will still hang occasionally.

What a fun game!

I'm going to use ut to trick some friends into playing flight sims. They like racing games, but might try Crimson Skies.

By the way, I haven't hit any bugs yet. I wish the demo supported my throttle switch on the joystick though

I tried multiplayer with the trail version on the 'zone.

It was smooth as silk...no lag whatsoever. Haven't tried it with the full version yet.

If CFS2 has "playability" as good as CS online...hmmmmmm.....hmmmmmmm....

No problem Hawk, I've just been so busy lately I'm only on mission 7 or so.

I will try and get out on the 'zone sometime soon.
