That’s not a rouge like, any ideas ?

Crimson Skies with modern planes would be quite different than Crimson Skies.

Would Ace Combat scratch that itch? It's quite arcade-y. Or for a more indie take on the same formula, I had a lot of fun with Project Wingman. Neither has the same kind of pulp adventure storyline, but that may be as close as we have right now.

    Considering Ace Combat but I don’t remember the games I tried years ago quite nailing the feeling for me. Maybe things have changed though

    The new Ace Combat that just came out is pretty phenomenal. Not sure it would scratch the Crimson Skies itch, but it's worth a play anyway.

    Fair warning, the PC port is awful right now. Crazy memory leaks.

    The game is apparently the best Ace Combat ever for about 5 minutes, and then it's a stuttering mess.

    That hasn't been my experience so far, though I guess I have 32gb of RAM so maybe I just haven't noticed.

    The issue has been confirmed by the developer, it just doesn't affect everyone. My wife is running it on 32GB with a 6700XT, and it runs like dogshit after a few minutes of any level. Massive stuttering and freezes.

    Ok, well, in my opinion your original comment could do with a few caveats, then, as clearly the PC port doesn't have massive issues for most users and has dev-aware issues for some. Maybe even many, but so far we're at a 3:1 ratio of people in replies to you. Reviews on Steam are overwhelming positive, and in the twenty or so I just skimmed there was one mention of the memory leaks.

    It's a demanding game but perfectly runnable with tempered expectations. My 6 year old PC runs it at 60 FPS, 1080p medium, still looks gorgeous.

    Ace Combat is many things, many awesome things, but it's not a replacement for Crimson Skies.

    You could give Project Wingman and it's DLC a try, or maybe track down a copy of HAWX? Star Wars Squadrons? Tonally, all 4 games/series are wildly different, so you kind of have to narrow down what particularly you liked about crimson skies beside the gameplay loop: the story, the themes, the lore, the music, etc.
