22 Missions of Dashing Aerial Adventures!
Version 2: Now with dockable Zeppelins!
All the Dragonfly39 types in BAT WAW can dock with the "Dieselpunk" Franken-Zeppelin!
And that one has teeth too: ten .50 cal guns in four gun turrets will now judge you now!
A few minor adjustments have been made to some missions: A few message triggers were used, a real lighthouse for the lighthouse mission and such things.
The Dragonfly 39 can go extremely slow with full flaps and therefore is ideal for docking maneuvers. But be cautious, do not deploy flaps to 100% until you have slowed down or you may loose control and get "snappy" reactions from the flightmodel.
All "regular" aircraft can not dock, since this requires specific java treatment and the ability to go slow enough.
One docking port per Zeppelin, only players can dock, AI can not perform this.
The year is 1937. The United States has shattered under the weight of the Great Depression, regional Prohibition and mounting isolationism. The transcontinental railroad and the budding highway system have become useless as they now cross hostile borders. Commerce and trade leave the ground as air travel—once a national obsession—now becomes a vital lifeline connecting allied countries. Giant zeppelins crisscross the skies, carrying both passengers and cargo. It is a time of gunship diplomacy and airship piracy. It is the age of the fighter pilot and a time of daredevil adventure and sinister intrigue. It is the world of Crimson Skies…You are
Nathan Zachary, Skipper of the notorious
Fortune Hunters and their mighty carrier Zeppelin
Pandora. Nathan Zachary is a man of contradictions. On the one hand, he is the Machiavellian, scheming plotter—a master criminal, a daring thief and a deadly combatant (both in and out of the cockpit). On the other hand, he only steals from the vulgar rich, and never knowingly allows the innocent to come to harm during his raids...
This campaign is built after the original computer game that came out in 2000 with maps and planes available in B.A.T. The end of the storyline is different and my own creation.
This campaign was made on and for BAT 3.7.x to be played in the World at War (WAW) module.
It is best played with the BAT 3.7.2 patch as it contains a much sturdier damage model for the Zeppelin. It won't die after just one canon hit....
In the game, in the campaign section go to Nation „None“ and select the campaign „Crimson Skies - BAT WAW“. The campaign is 22 missions long, most of then around 10 minutes of action.
-Select
highest rank – you are Nathan Zachary, the Skipper of the Fortune Hunters!
-I suggest to play this with No Instant Success to
ON - achieving mission objectives is kind of the point…
Realism? Well… This is Crimson Skies. Do as you please.
-You may turn off redout/blackout to be able to pull the wildest maneuvers
-You may turn off overheat to be able to burn that engine like hell
We can't dock with the Zeppelin so most missions will begin as *air start* under the belly of the Zepp. You can end the missions after achieving the "Mission Complete" message for whatever your objective was or fly around a bit and find the Pandora

If this path is not kept, the videos will not play! In BAT, the NN folder comes with ranks and some special awards.
The skins were made by myself for this campaign.
