Crimson Skies in CFS2 NOW AVAILABLE for download!


Free Flight and Quick Combat work fine, however the only Missions available is the US Carrier take-off and landing missions as well as the US & Japan training missions and there is no "Campaign" available yet.

The default aircraft is the Hughes P21J Devastator Mk. III, but it can be changed to any aircraft available.

I will be releasing additional repaints in the future for different squads and factions, so stay tuned for updates.

Paint schemes continued...

I finished with the Splash Screens and Menus... now back to paint schemes.  I finished up the Black Swans and Red Skull Legion - now I'm working on the Kingdom of Hawaii Militia.  Getting ahead of schedule... I'm sure I'll have the full game available for download sometime early next week.  :D

Crimson Skies splash screens & menus in CFS2

Opening Splash Screen
I took a little break from creating paint skins (don't worry, I'm going to continue) and started to create some new Crimson Skies splash & menu screens for Combat Flight Simulator 2. 

Normally, if I want to fly WWII combat, I'll fly in IL2: 1946.  So there really isn't any need for me to keep any WWII aircraft in my CFS2.  I've decided to make a little project and turn my CFS2 into a Crimson Skies exclusive Combat Flight Simulator.  With that, I'll have to change all the splash screens and menus to reflect Crimson Skies aircraft ONLY.  I kinda got the idea from the Dog Patch Crew who created "Korean Skies" for CFS3.  They made a mod for CFS3 that includes all the aircraft from the Korean War (aka. Mig Alley).

I know this is a big undertaking... but really; what's the option?  Wait for a new Crimson Skies to come out?  I'll give this a try and see how it comes out.  And YES - when it's complete, it'll be available for download FOR FREE.

Here's a couple of menu screens I've made so far.  I've got a long way to go - but these are the ones used the most.  If you have any suggestions or questions - let me know.

Dixie completed

I just completed the "Dixie" paint schemes for the CFS2/Crimson Skies aircraft, which include the J2 Fury, S2B Kestrel, Bloodhawk & Zeppelin Battleship.

I have put them all in one .zip file for convenience; complete aircraft, not just the textures.  Just download, unzip and move to the aircraft folder in Combat Flight Simulator 2.  Click HERE to download them now.

Crimson Skies in Combat Flight Simulator 2

For those of you who just can't seem to get Crimson Skies to work on their computer or want a little more "realism" in their flight models, a fan of Crimson Skies had created a bunch of Crimson Skies aircraft for use in Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 2; and they work wonderfully!





So far, the fighter aircraft that are available for download are...
  • P21J Devastator Mk. III (Fortune Hunters & China)... click HERE
  • J2 Fury (Black Swan)... click HERE
  • PR1 Defender (Peoples Collective)... click HERE
  • Bloodhawk (Fortune Hunters & Blake Aviation Security)... click HERE
  • Firebrand (Fortune Hunters & Hollywood Knights)... click HERE
  • Hoplite (Fortune Hunters & Black Hats)... click HERE
  • Peacemaker 370 (British & Blake Aviation Security)... click HERE
  • S2B Kestrel (Fortune Hunters, British, China & Japan) ... click HERE
Three types of Zeppelins are also available to use as "bombers".
  • Zeppelin Battleship (British, Blake Aviation Security, German & Japan)... click HERE
  • Zeppelin Cargo (Generic)... click HERE
  • Zeppelin Escort (British, Blake Aviation Security, German & Japan)... click HERE
I'm probably going to have to create a "Pandora" paint scheme for a Fortune Hunters Zeppelin Battleship sometime soon.

I have created a couple of paint schemes, but there's more coming soon.  After they're completed and tested... I'll upload them and post the links.

BOMB! - Crimson Skies meets Tail Spin

Since it doesn't look like there's going to be a "new" Crimson Skies any time soon... this just might be the fix you're looking for!  I'm definitely going to have to check this one out on Steam soon!
