Review: After reading some good things about this game, and craving some good air combat, I picked up this game. At $29.99 it seemed like a reasonable price. And then I got the package in the mail.

I've tried to boot this game 10 times, and 10...

Better Than Your Average Flight Of Fancy

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2000
Review: Flight Sims - You either love 'em or hate 'em. Of course recently the term "flight sim" has loosened a little to stretch from the classical meaning which usually involves a cockpit, some seriously complex controls and several skip-loads of patience...

UPDATE Crimson Skies? What happened?

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2000
Review: ***UPDATE***
After getting fed up with the gui memory leak and other in-game performance issues, I decided to play with my swap file settings. The game requires a minimum of 250Mb's worth of swapfile which I had when I got the game. Zipper...
