Man, gonna have to search thru my closet to see if I kept the game around.

Very cool speedbump!

Looks pretty good when encoded in Nero AVC, their version of H-264 codec.

Crimson Skies - The Pilfered Prototype - Mission 7

Hey speedbump, where'd you download that mod you mentioned earlier?

Gosh, I blundered around on the web looking for an answer to the graphics corruption that plagues Nvidia cards running Crimson Skies and found it to be caused by something Nvidia did with their drivers. Some one made a little mod that gets around it. The forum I got it from is still there, but the link is dead. I have the files. There is the official 102 patch and the graphics fix file which includes a nocd and resolution config file. So the patch and graphics fix file work on either XP or Win 7, but you still have to set the executable for WIN 98 compatibility mode or the game crashes randomly. The menu will stay small even though you change the resolution in the config file since this game came out when 800x600 was a common resolution, but at least you can read the menus. I bet this old game would look great on a big monitor though.

Anyone wanting the files, PM me with your email and I'll zip them up and send them to Megaupload.

It would be great if they made this today with widescreen and upgraded graphics. I remember how impressed I was with the way it ran back then, smooth and fast.

Please upload the files somewhere so I can give this a go again.

I put the files on Megaupload. If you want them, PM me and I'll send you the link. Or I can email them. The whole thing is about 5Mb. I don't know what SimHQ's policy is on patches and fixes.

Mission 9.
