I was frustrated to discover that, due to NVIDIA's series 6XXX cards and higher lacking support for textures that are not in multiples of 2, Crimson Skies' text is garbled and illegible, and additionally the game will crash after only a few minutes of play.Īdding to my dismay is the fact that Microsoft has ceased to support the game - or even to offer an online lobby for multiplayer games. My 3DS Max version is 2015.I played Crimson Skies religiously back in 2002, and recently picked up the game again in an attempt to once more play it. It really is a shame because I never got to take screenies of the finished cockpit, cage, and everything I had just finished and how fucking amazing it was looking. The S9 Chaos and P21J, both of which were around 4 mb, were worth far more than the 98 GB of crap I recovered. This project had a lot of heart and love put into it so it honestly means a lot to me if this can get recovered. obj file of the aircraft if you are able to recover anything. Please, don't release it or claim it as yours, though, I can't really stop anyone, but please, DO send over a fresh save or Exported. I have had no luck with it, but I have some faith that maybe someone can help me recover the 100+ hours I've spent on this aircraft since Day 1. Max file of the P21J in hopes that SOMEONE'S 3DS Max application, can, by some Godly gracious miracle, can open the file and recover it's contents.

Provided it gets released or even finished lol hints at DHC1 why can't I ever finish that piece of crapĪn open request to any Autodesk 3DS MAX users here - recently, I had a hard drive failure (more like I failed to back it up before dicking around with it) and that has caused me to lost ALL work on my P21J Devestator, My Rans S9 Chaos, and many other WIP mods I had intended to release. It probably won't be exact or as professionally done as James has done it, but hey, it'll still be something, won't it.? It's MUCH better than the original (can't blame limitations of the glorious 2000 that much) but I'm sure Microsoft would have really done a lot more if they could. James' did this amazing cockpit in his WIP's which I may try to design and work the P21J's cockpit to look like.

The person who made the video is called James, so I'll be referring to his model by his name. The cockpit will most certainly NOT be original. Maybe release multiple variants? Who knows. I may just stick with a single 4 blade pusher instead of contrarotating props. I personally don't like the contra-rotating prop design and when you see it from the side, it sort of. I'm putting my coin toss in the bucket that says Mark IV (which doesn't exist in the Crimson Skies world atm) but may soon. What do you think? Sure the aircraft is my work and design at the end of the day depending on how I release it, but any suggestions or opinions would be good. I think I may have to rework the cockpit area/fuselage a bit to get it to get it look like the YouTube video, but I think it looks cooler with a cowl and maybe, a change to the canopy. Not that good looking), keep the idea that most photos on Google appear to be or.

So in the end, I'm confused as to whether to stick to the 2000 model release (probably unlikely as it's really.

This guy's drawings differed from the original so that sort of threw me off, and made me realize, mine has a cowl now, and when the hell did the cowl ever turn like that? The 2000 Microsoft variant NEVER had a cowl like mine, and even from the ones designed by the YouTube person, never really looked like that. The game being so old, there's really no references or way for me to reference actual things and images tend to get changed and people have come up with their own variants and changes here and there. Progress on this has been slow but getting there.Īnd I've been using it for reference, though it won't be as highly detailed as his, I did notice a considerable amount of differences between his and mine.
