Rick Rawlings Posted October 7, 2024 Posted October 7, 2024 I wish someone would remake Crimson Skies in the WOFF/Falcon BMS style where you play as a pilot in some fanciful-but-realistically-based alternate history planes where you fight in the sky over control of various areas of the globe, having a career with plausible missions randomly generated and interspersed with some "plot" missions...kind of like UBOAT, I guess. You would be able to create and modify planes based on some modular plane system that would track how effective they would be. Pretty unlikely that will happen, although I guess there is a chance that there will be an AI program that I can explain that to and it will make the game for me, possibly even before a development team could do it... Now to just stay alive that long... 1 Quote
CaptSopwith Posted October 7, 2024 Posted October 7, 2024 I love this idea, Rick! I remember loving Crimson Skies but I also don't remember being able to enjoy it for very long before we moved to Windows XP and the game just stopped functioning. Into the bin it went at some point... The closest we have to the real thing is a project over on the SAS boards, who work on all things IL-2 1946. Check it out! https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=62309.0 Cheers! PS: Loving the flight videos you upload! Great stuff! Quote
+Wrench Posted October 7, 2024 Posted October 7, 2024 I never got the play Crimson Skies, but I've always been in love with the 'alternate history' genre. I totally buy a new version! Quote

Also, I have 1946...I'll have to check this out...not that I wouldn't love a new version (hint, hint, imminently arriving AI overlords...) Quote
