I only play hardcore flightsims. That's it. Nothing else.
I love them. I especially love Jane's study Sims. Nothing better than lobbing a bomb over a mountain while going treetop level at 500 knots onto an unseen target.

But my brother bought me Crimson Skies for my daughter's Birthday (yeah that's weird, but she's only one.)

This is not a serious flightsim. It's a joke.

But.... I'm finding it irresistable campy, storybased fun.

I was having the time of my life playing it.

Until I got to this one fucking mission.

You're cohort is trying to steal the Spruce Goose from Howard Hughes from its water dock in Hollywood (I know.)

You have to fly through the hangar with the Goose in it, and blow up the doors to let it out and then defend it while it escapes. But, there are too many planes. They always shoot down the goose before I can get them all.

I've been playing this same fucking mission for a week, and I can't get past it.

It's not fun anymore.

Fuck fuck fuck doubleshit rat piss fuckity fuck fuck!
