Crimson Skies on Microsoft Surface Pro 6 i5!

S` All,

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated... but great news!  I just bought a Microsoft Surface Pro 6 i5 and it runs PC version of Crimson Skies FLAWLESSLY!  I'll have to install FRAPS and see what kind of frame rates I'm getting... but I can already tell it's well over the original 30FPS I used to get back when the game first came out in 2001!  ;)

Microsoft's Crimson Skies v1.02 HD Graphics Cards Update

S` All,

It has certainly been a while since I've updated BlackJack's Hangar, especially with anything regarding the original PC version of the game.  Well, I finally broke down and bought a proper gaming laptop (a Razer Blade 13.3" with Nvidia UHD Graphics installed), and of course my Crimson Skies PC game would not load properly.  Thankfully the good folks at WSGF have created a multitude of HD Graphics fixes for older games, including Microsoft's Crimson Skies.  (Links provided at the bottom of this post).

After some play testing I was finally able to get my game working!  Not only was I able to get it working like my old set-up with my Logitech Extreme 3D joystick, I was able to get it working thru Steam as an added "custom" game and working with my PlayStation 4 Dual Shock Controller!

Here are a few pics from game-play testing on my Razer Blade 13.3" laptop!
