Hi Visitors,

I just got back from my vacation in Switserland. The first thing I did the next morning was checking my e-mail inbox:

I received a e-mail from someone who had problems with installing the planes into Crimson Skies. You should extract the file that is in the .zip-file into the .../CSkies/Planes/ folder. You'll probably see some other files of planes you made yourself. You can put planes you made yourself in a .zip-file and send it to me in an e-mail. I will put your planes in the Plane Collection, so other people can download them and install them in Crimson Skies.

The webmaster of Crimson Skies at Furball Magazine mailed me to tell me my CS Plane Guide is on his page too. Visit: www.furballmag.com/cs/

I still haven't received any custom-made planes for the Plane Collection via e-mail. What's wrong with you guys? Is it too hard to put a plane-file in a .zip-file and mail it to me?

I also haven't received any requests to build a plane for someone. If I do get one, I'll also feature the plane in the Plane Collection. A request for a plane doesn't have to be for yourself, you can see it as a gift to someone. Why don't you give a plane to someone with Valentine?

I'm very happy to have so many visitors in such a short time. Probably caused by the links I got on other Crimson Skies Fan-Pages. Thanks Webmasters of those Fan-pages! I also linked to those pages in the Links section.

I hope many people download and enjoy the planes and the CS Plane Guide!

Enjoy,

Hi Everybody,

I received a plane from BlackJack from the 28th Virtual Fighting Wing Corsairs. It's a really special one, so go check it in the Plane Collection. It's really worth the try! I hope I receive many more custom-made planes in future!

Darren Baker of Crimson Skies Org (www.crimsonskies.org) was really interested in my site and my Plane Construction and mentioned me in his newsflash on his site. I hope he will also post my Plane Construcion Guide and a link to my site so I will get more visitors.

Enjoy my website,

Hi Visitors.

I have decorated my website with some horizontal lines, vertical lines and titlebars on the top of a page just under the big logo. I hope you like it. Anywayz, it makes the website a lot clearer.

I noticed there are some problems sending in custom-made planes. Some people only send specifications. I really would like to receive planes in a .zip-file , because I'm not able to make those planes on my own (I don't know your paint scheme, etc.) and it takes a lot of time. So, in future, please send me planes in a .zip-file in an attachment in an e-mail. Make sure you attached the .zip-file well. If you want to submit a plane, check the instructions on the Submit A Plane section.

Enjoy my website,

Hiya,

I received a new plane for my plane collection and I got an order to build a plane for someone (also in the plane collection), go check them out in my Plane Collection. I hope I'll get more custom-made planes in my Plane Collection.

Soon I'll devide my Main Page in more parts, New News and an Archive. I'm going to do this because the main page is getting too long.

Darren Baker (Crimson Skies Org) posted my Plane Building Guide on his page IN HTML FORMAT. So you can read my guide real-time on his website without downloading. Visit his website: www.crimsonskies.org

Greetz,

The News Archive is online! To visit the News Archive, look in the menu on the left. When there are more than three news flashes on the Main Page, the oldest one goes to the News Archive. So only the three most recent news flashes will be on the Main Page. The News Archive is sorted by month.

This weekend I'm going to make an update of my CS Plane Guide. I found some errors in the document I really want to correct. Visit my site again on Sunday or after the weekend, the update will be for download by then.
