Crimson Skies - Walkthrough Hardest - No Commentary

[@armoredveterinarian5662]

I remember playing this game back when I was a kid, my dad thought I'm just too young to figure out M&K steering but after he played it himself, he bought some cheap but proper joystick. Never finished it but I had a lot of fun flying around.

[@Geckuno]

The voice acting, the details and the photos, the story is amazing. I hadn't notice that it was this intricate when I was a kid.

[@kingprone7846]

the graphics were sick too. i remember marvelling at the propeller animation.

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

Whoever voiced Nathan in this game did a fantastic job. ABsolutely amazing work from him.

[@rifleman101]

Thanks for doing a playthough of this game! I remember trying to get it to work way back in the day. Didnt want to run.

[@Scorch0017]

Yeah, though the fixes for widescreen monitors and modern OS exist, this game still have some issues and will refuse to run under certain conditions. I figured out it doesn't like multi-monitor setups, and also it is advisable to restart your machine after several subsequent missions, otherwise the game speed will gradualy slowdown or speed up.

This is a rare dieselpunk goodness right here.

I miss this game lol. Had so much fun with it!

[@BurnerJones]

You have no idea how much I miss this game.

[@mechanicaldummy9324]

so much love went into the making of this game I miss it dearly

[@jasonbaum9376]

loved this game!!! One of my all time favorites!!!

[@Journeyman107]

.70 caliber guns really sold me on this game I was like goddamn that’s insane

[@zhufortheimpaler4041]

well .70cal is just about 18mm, so even smaller than the first autocannons mounted on aircraft in WW2 (20mm cannons).

Excellent walkthrough, thanks for uploading this so I can experience one of my childhood gems once more! Also hot damn did you make short work of mission 17 - I remember struggling with that one like crazy back in the days. :)

[@Scorch0017]

@@Yuzuki1337 Thanks! Yeah, the notorious Mission 17 - It took me a dozen attempts or more, before I could get through that ordeal.

[@BrendynRobertson]

This is an underrated game.

Nathan Zachary sounds like Zapp Brannigan thinks he sounds.

[@raymondyee2008]

I immediately got the full game after playing the demo and it can be fun but some missions are “oh bloody hell”.

[@Notsohappyproductions]

I always loved this game

[@ThePilot4ever]

7:47 gave me a small heart attack lmao! If the game ever gets ported to gog or something I might pick it up. Cool lp, will recommend Heroes of the Pacific if you've never played it.

[@ARWINGx1]

41:53 can't believe I missed that secret, all this time XD. Though I were just a kid back then, who didn't know how to change graphics settings. I mean, enough to actually notice it if I paid attention.

[@Gildean666]

OMG this game is so good and full of details even today. The brand should be reactivated as competitor to Warthunder.

[@HiNickCares]

Masterpiece!

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

[@Coyote27981]

What do you mean you cant fly it with the mouse? I always used the mouse back then... All you need to do is bump the sensitivity really high, then be really gentle with the mouse. Modern mouses should make that way easier than an early optical or ball mouse.

[@HelminthCombos]

I like how this game has the exact opposite feel of Sky Crawlers(movie) and Yukikaze. The Sky Crawlers game is just like this in some ways.

[@Scorch0017]

Too bad there is no plane here, which could resemble Teacher's fighter.

[@HelminthCombos]

did you actually watch the movie?@@Scorch0017 its literally the life of the npc's you kill in the game (you are teacher)

[@jeremyhards1911]

I was torn buying this or Airfix Fogfighters. Bought Crimson Skies and have been disappointed ever since.

[@Lajos_Kelemen]

So what is flightstick emulation like? You played the whole game using mouse and keyboard?

[@Scorch0017]

@@Lajos_Kelemen yes, but the controls were smooth and responsive, unlike the default mouse, where you can barely control the plane due to the enormous dead zones.

[@Lajos_Kelemen]

@@Scorch0017 Nice, think I'll give it a shot, been postponing playing this game for a long time now since I don't have a stick.

[@ishtvaan9789]

Regarding the old school graphics of the game and the capabilities of modern Smartphones... why is nobody making it a mobile game??

[@wrecklass]

I had no idea this game could be played on a modern computer. However, the mouse is horrid. What is this "Flightstick emulator" people are talking about? I tried the Xbox game pad, but it's only slightly better.

[@Scorch0017]

@@wrecklass it's a software and drivers, which would trick the game, that you have a flightstick. It allows you to play those old flight simulators, which lacks mouse support or have a problems with it.

[@wrecklass]

@Scorch0017 does it have a specific name or is there someplace to download it? I tried looking up "Flightstick emulator" and found nothing.

[@MrMoli192]

How did you get your menus and briefings to stay large and not be extremely loud? My in game sound is fine but when a menu screen changes the volume gets extremely loud

[@Scorch0017]

With the power of editing.

How did u made this to work Im 1440p?

[@darrenfay1297]

is this an original disk install? or a download? would love to play this again.....

[@Scorch0017]

This was installed from disk image, I think it doesn't matter in the end. You need to use either csfix or dgvoodoo 2 to run it, also you would need fixed .exe for 16:9 aspect ratio. Just look up Crimson Skies page on pcgamingwiki, all links are there.

[@HiNickCares]

Cool!

[@Coyote27981]

This universe had such amazing potential... Until MS got involved.

[@phucdims1984]

Would buy this again to play on today's computers. Of cert microsoft would probably fill it with DEI propaganda. Sigh.

[@carlosmagnomacieira8210]

oh man...this game seems to be really fun but the controls are terrible...the game does not work well with a mouse...on the keyboard it is no very precise...it recognizes a gamepad but it is inverted and uses the left anlog stick...it is impossible to play with those controllers and there is no mod to fix this on the internet...

[@Scorch0017]

Controls aren't terrible, you need flightstick or its emulator, which I used in this playthrough.

[@HiNickCares]

Get a joystick.

[@1BrknHrtdRomeo]

We need a Crimson Skies live action movie lol
