I know this is a old game.
I was wondering if there were any cool add-ons for the game, or any tips and such for it. I think its a really cool game, with a nice backstory, and any help would be appreciated.

I haven't heard of any add-ons, but I did read that there was a patch released that made it much better.

Might pick it up today if I see it at the computer store. They had an old copy in a huge box for $15.

Personaly i dont really like that game and its been retierd to a box.

Theres a game called aces high,
from a company called Hightech creations,
Its Free to play h2h Mode for life and if you want to you can subscribe and play against Hundreds of ppl at 1ce,

I only play h2h mode becous its free, It has never asked me for any credit card details,
and I have been playing for yesrs now.

Prehaps you should try that if you like combat flight sims,
It really is worth checking out,

P.s

Its a free download online,

There was one patch which mainly corrected a problem with save games, but that was about it.

I agree that the game is a hoot --particularly the over the top campy voice acting--sort of like an Indiana Jones flying game. I still drag my copy out occasionally and play through the campaign again.

I wouldn't spend $15 on a used copy because they have re-released it in a crystal case version for only $9.99.

I have seen it at both CompUSA and Wal-Mart, just recently. The re-issue probably only has one of those little crystal case manuals or one on PDF, but the controls are so easy to pick up, one hardly needs a manual (Easy to play, but hard to master) You do need a joystick to play the game well.

To the best of my knowledge there were never any add-ons or mods. The closed code of the game prevented it.

There is a sequel called Crimson Skies 2, but Microsoft only released it for the X-Box.

There is also an on-line component, and you might still find opponents at the MSgaming site.

Crimson skies is a great game!! Odd but good storyline, ridiculous planes and characters and a ridiculous manual. I got the original game with one of the original manuals. If you can get a hold of an original manual then i recommend getitng it. It makes good reading material.
